Saving the SCRAPYARD SAW! 

Never in my life have I seen someone pull a squirrel out of a tree and give it a belly rub. That was incredible!

LOVE to see these old machines brought back from the edge of oblivion! Doesn't take much, just care and hard work.

That squirrel is crazy! He can’t decide if he wants to cuddle or run away... Amazing how cleaning those dirty parts is so mesmerizing. That saw is coming along nicely.

Thanks Steve , great video tear down and n clean up reassembled. O ring measure is a great tool for working on cylinders and such. Your lovely wife has a cute friend. Funny how some animals are like that. Going to be nice to have a good saw. Thanks again .

Thanks for limiting us and exposing us to every second of dialing in parts. Once is enough. One reason i love fast forward on Keith Fenner who shows every second of every dialing and skips all rough cutting. 🙂

Hi After greasing the motor bearings, run the motor with the bottom plugs out till excess grease stops coming out. Love the squirrel. Thanks

I am impressed with you and Elizabeth, as that squirrel seems to be quite comfortable around you. It will be interesting to see this saw come apart and how you make it work for your purposes again. I appreciate the detail you share rather than just having an 8-minute skim over and "there it is!" type video.

Elizabeth is a real life Disney Princess !!

Great video Steve! Thanks for your time and sharing... The saw will be a super addition to your shop! Take care... Oh yeah, great squirrel footage! Lol

Nice we are restoring a machine again.The squirrel is a real bonus, love this channel.

Elizabeth is great with squirrels! Kind of stole the show.

The saw is coming along well . Also you are getting a great collection of tooling for the cutter grinder now . Cheers .

Steve, we used to line bottom of tool draws with felt, and keep a small amount of oil on felt to help stop rust.

Thanks for your videos, Steve. A different take, but lots of fun. Edit: Love the squirrel. The acceptance of wild creatures is quite a compliment to y'all.

Tip on your cabinet, heaviest items in bottom drawer, work your way up. Excellent videos!

Really enjoying the saw rebuild Steve. "You have to start to finish". Very true, as the old saying goes - "a long journey begins with a first step". The leaves down says Winter is just around the corner.

GLAD to see such a old tool coming back to life, your doing a great job. thank you

Hey Steve, great video! Like you said about mistakes, we all make them but the most important thing is that we learn from them. The first big job I worked on I was in a deep footer laying 12" block...upside down! One of the old fellows came over and said "green side up Greg". I was puzzled but he helped me by explaining how sod was laid and how block should be laid. Believe you me I didn't make that mistake again, Greg.

Your channel's always my first stop on Saturday morning!

If you get any heavy quality cardboard boxes, cut them up and use them to line the bottoms of the drawers in the steel cabinet, also chuck a few of the bags of silica gel dessicant that come with new electrical goods in there as well. All the best from Somerset UK.

so happy to see you NOT use an impact on that puller. also, a neat trick having an adjustable wrench hold the ear of the puller to keep it from spinning, well done!

Great work Steve. One thing that I like to do with electric motors is to use Trichloroethylene (found in many "Electric Motor Cleaner" aerosols) on the windings and then seal them with Glyptal (brand name for red insulating varnish - MG Chemicals also makes one). Just in case the varnish on the windings is starting to fail. Anyways again, great work.

Can't wait to see the DoAll finished.

Getting pretty fancy with the camera work!

Great content Steve! From my experience, the bearing drains are to be left open while motor runs initially to allow any excess that would go inside onto the windings to escape. Let run 5-10 mins until excess escapes, then put plug back in. Still will have enough. I was taught, I believe by a bearing distributor 40 yrs ago the #1 cause of bearing failure is overgreasing. I ended up removing the grease fittings on motors as operators would commonly shoot 2-3 pumps into every fitting they saw. Every motor had gobs of grease on the rotors that had to be cleaned out. Motors that run continuously only need to be greased and excess drained annually. Motor shop that did our rewindings also confirmed that. Motors that did need rewinding almost always because over greased and than overheated.

Thanks for the video Steve.

Hi Steve - The rotating part is a Rotor sometimes called a squirrel cage Rotor and the part with windings is the Stator. The 5HP motors I worked on were bigger than that one but you are 60 cycles in USA as apposed to 50 in the UK. That motor is looking like new good job..

Steve, Parts are still available for your pump. You have a Continental hydraulics pump model # PVR1-6B06-RM-0*. They will also make a new pump if needed. I used to work at Continental Hydraulics. We supplied all of the pumps for the DoAll Saws that were built at the same factory. Website www.continentalhydraulics.com/product_item/pvr/

I like that style of flywheel/pulley puller Steve, it can't fall off unlike the 2 and 3 claw ones that I have! Cheers, Craig

After replacing the seals and wipers, always be sure to check that your cylinder is free of squirrels before re-assembly.

Great progress this week, Steve. Looking forward to the rest of it. Thanks for sharing. And thanks for rescuing the machine...it appears to have some good life left in it.

Excellent Video, Thanks so much !

Liz and Peanut need their own channel, I could have watched that all day :D

Great video Steve!! I have 4 cabinets like that in my shop, I agree great cheap storage!!!!

Great video Steve. Thank you

Thank you for making these videos brother

Good day Steve. Thanks for the smiles when your girl and the squirrel were playing. Great way to get my day going. Good to see you leave no stone unturned and glad you didn't hurt your back wrestling that motor out. They a heavy beasties for sure. Well fella it looks like this will be a great add to your shop. See ya next weekend good sir !

Another great video Steve. I was surprised when Elizabeth picked Peanut up, thought is was a wild squirrel....😊. -T (Knoxville)

What the heck did I just see, Snow White and the silly squirrels? Great looking saw, I enjoy seeing these machines coming back to life!

As several others have said, Peanut sole the show. Amazing! On another note, someone taught me any, many moons ago, a simple and very effective way to remove woodruff keys and similar keys. simply using a pair of wirecutters or flush cutters, place the flat back of the tool against the shaft and grip the end of the key with the cutter and lift. the tips act as a pivot point and the key will usually come right out. Obviously rust can and usually does make it more difficult, but the cutters will usually get a really good grip on the key. Never had one yet that this method didn't work with. Keep up the great work, love the channel.

As far as your parts washer, I have an old Graymills machine and simply run mineral spirits in it. Works well, and it’s relatively cheap.

Great job thanks for sharing

Steve, if you find some carpet being removed or some inexpensive remnants for drawer liner would be nice for that cabinet. I used that same material in my tool boxes and it works well. Good progress on the saw.

Nice all-terrain dolly you have there!

When you get that all done you're going to have an awesome saw!!

The pump is probably an adjustable rotary vane hydraulic pump. I recently took one apart and it's a very interesting design. The variable volume comes from the outer ring being offset but movable, usually spring loaded. The outer ring start far offset creating a larger pump displacement. As the pressure rises, it pushes against the ring, moving it to a more centered position creating a smaller displacement. It's a brilliant design! I wonder what the benefit would be on a saw like this. Its quite a complicated pump for such a simple application. Thinking about it more, its probably because this application requires a higher flow rate and doesn't need much pressure. After all, you dont want to be waiting 20 seconds for the saw to raise after each cut! Most pumps like this that ive seen are under 1000psi but the volume output is very high compared to gear pumps.

I’ve had several rodent type pets. They have all been super curious affectionate critters. They will 100% ruin stuff though.

Scheduled maintenance is the life's blood of machine tools. Amazing what a few dabs of grease/oil can do to extend the life of a machine tool. Call those motor parts whatever you like, we know what you are talking about. Love the squirrel. My dog Patch made it his mission to protect me from every squirrel within 200 yards of the house. LOL Wish he were still among us. A lot of sweat equity, and some replacement parts will give you a nice saw. 'Til next time.

I have 2 of those cabinets myself. Really sturdy. I like the design that allows only one drawer to be opened at a time. Keeps it from tipping over on you. I picked mine up at habitat for humanity restore. really cheap $15 and another smaller 4 drawer at a yard sale for free! Glad you posted that, I thought I was the only one that repurposed odd stuff!

Just discovered your channel a few weeks ago, but am impressed, with your knowledge and excellent explanation and attention to detail. Like your shop squirrel, too. I've got squirrels all over my property, but the only thing I get from them are hell are for being in 'their space'! You're a young guy, and I hope I can save you some of the agony I experience, after 50+ years of taking things apart, and trying to get them back together. Stop using your hands as hammers, even for what many would consider 'light' blows. I could feel it in my wrists, every time you hit that allen with your hand. The heel of the hand is a quick and easy bludgeon, but if you take a few minutes and look at some anatomy pics on the 'net, you will discover the area beside the base of your thumb is comprised of a bunch of small bones, held together by puny little ligaments. One of them, the navicular, (base of the thumb), is one of only four bones in the body with NO blood supply, (1 in each hand, and 1 in each foot. The foot is sorted a duplicate of the hand, bone-wise). You damage the navicular, it doesn't heal; can't, because of the lack of blood flow.) It isn't a single hard blow, or injury which will make your hands/wrists ache, at night, in the morning, or drive you to be willing to put your hand in a bucket of ice, or wrap ice bags around your wrists, just to get some effing relief, (I have done both, many times.) Try an ice bag on your wrist, some time, if you want to experience some excruciating pain. If somebody is willing to do it to get relief from pain, how bad is the original pain? I look at a lot of YT vids, and wish someone had told me, when I was your age, when I see people hit things with their hands. It's a matter of retraining yourself to use a hammer, instead. No different than training yourself to replace 'safety squints' with inexpensive pieces of plastic BEFORE you turn on the equipment, or use ear muffs, instead of turning your head away, thinking THAT will protect you from noise. Keep up the good work, and thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise. GeoD

Nice Steve, good to see you doing another restore.

Good to see you making progress on the old saw Steve. Glad for your video as i spent sunday taking pain killers and resting my bad knee after a long beer brewday Saturday so good to see decent content, tv is a joke. Interesting to see the squirrel interacting like that. We don't have them down here in New Zealand.

Hey Steve in the bowling business on Brunswick machines they Incorporated GE 1 horsepower motors which is exact mini version of that 5 horse.. except for the outside wiring box the one horse doesn't have that but you could set them side-by-side and they would look like Father and son...lol

That's incredible I was more interested in the squirrel that was wild. Never seen that before

That's one beast of a saw....coming along nicely!!

Always enjoy your vids Steve ;) Thanks for sharing Kudos to the squirrel whisperer :)

You might want to put some 1/2in. Hardware cloth (screen) over the motor air vents to keep mice out!

I want you to know how much I like watching you restore all your equipment. The attention to detail is inspiring. I wish I had the patience you have. hanks for the videos and keep them coming.

Love the new shop squirrel. You going to teach Peanut to run the mini lathe? :) We finally got some rain too. Much needed.

Love how positive you are on your videos. Thanks. Keep it up

Watch out for that squirrel. Suddenly, all your nuts are gone, and you are left with bolts and screws. 🤣

Nice job on that motor. You will have a great saw when all said and done.

If some of your saw parts seem missing you may have to ask Peanut pretty sternly to find where they are holed up. lol

is that Squirrel Wild? If It Is It must Trust You so much, Amazing!!! "BLEW MY MIND THAT"

Awesome job, cool squirrel lol keep em coming, God bless.

Steve, Awesome video like see you bring back your bandsaw lookin forward to seeing it in operation thanks for sharing.!.!.!.

I really enjoy watching this kind of project Steve. Cant wait for the follow up episodes.

Ya gotta love a girl that enjoys getting a little squirrely now and then!

Steve, enjoy watching your videos and I know I’m late to the party on this but I have many of those file cabinets that I use for tool storage. There is a bar that goes in the back of them that you can slide small parts trays on to that really help me organize. For example if I have my pressure tester set for cooling systems I can put all the adapters in a small tray container and hook it on the bar.I might try to find a way to shoot you a picture

P.s. Somebody give that squirrel a walnut already! That little Guy is awesome!

Ancient electrics... Check winding continuity before you touch anything. Especially after finding that nest. Mainly because you may be wasting your time. Ratty may have chewed a short or open. Check again after pick/air cleaning because that is very intrusive 'heavy' handling/abrasion. It's kinda designed to take it but that doesn't mean that it likes it or that it's not mildly risky. Great job, I'm new here, looking forward to more.

That’s no city squirrel! I didn’t notice. Did it have an apron on? (Fun video there...)

Enjoyed Steve! ATB, Robin

Morning Steve great content it will be nice to see that old saw come back to life and add to your capacity, if my memory serves me right HF, and the power hack saw, nice to see Elizabeth and the shop inspector Peanut the squirrel lol, haven't a grand weekend

Steve use a CV boot or steering rack boot got bellows repair , Great squirrel footage.

Great vid' as usual. Couldn't you find a bigger saw? LOL ;-) Great squirrel jugging skills :-) I remember my Mum once asking my wife "why is Derek jugging squirrels" when 2 of 'em ran up me whilst chasing each other.

Great work on the saw. One day it will be making chips again.

Boah, thats a serious saw you managed to get for your shop. Thanks for that video.

Maybe a steering rack bellow from the wrecking yard Steve..

I have a bandsaw restore project I was planning on mentioning, before I got sidetracked with my hand warning. I picked up a big azz bandsaw for scrap price a year or so, ago, from a tool dealer close to me. I didn't realize it, at first, but it is completely air actuated. The electric motor drives the saw blade, and also spins the integrated air compressor. The blade head lifts and lowers with air, it has an air power vise. The tool dealer had taken in, in trade, with a plan to refurb it. Then the shop guys decided it was too much work to fix all the plastic air lines. I'm blanking on the manufacturer's name, but they are made in Oklahoma, and still make the model I have. I just wish I had the time to refurb it, sooner, rather than later. At 66, you begin to realize, you just can't put things off too long. lol GeoD

That's the closest look I've had at a Do-All. What a monster.

You could have shaped the key way on the lathe , whit a internal boring bar that use hss blanks. In cast iron or aluminum, takes like 3 min to make. I have a vertical slotter but still make manual key on lathe for simple jobs like yours.

You and Bob Ross with the pet squirrels!!! Love it.

Only in here you'll see squirrels jumping on machine parts on a workshop table :D

Roger & stator is what my grandpa called ‘ef... I think you are safe.

A lot of those components look familiar, the pump may be the same as the one on my surface grinder. I changed the motor that runs the pump, put in a modern frame motor. I had to come up with some stand-offs to put the new motor at the correct height, drill new holes in the mounting plate to center it. After much fuss, fume & cuss, the motor lined up perfect. But it got hot like the original (just not nearly as fast). The old motor will get tested further before I pass a verdict on it, as it turns out that my leg currents were way out of balance. I finally invested in a clamp on amp meter, re-tuned my power, and it's all working as it should. I don't think you will have the same issues I did, since you have the rotary, but it might still be a good idea to check your leg currents when you test/add a new machine to your system.

If I were designing this as a new product, I'd use a TEFC motor to keep oil & dirt out (and critters). The open drip-proof motor that they used clearly didn't keep things clean enough for this saw.

I wonder if you might be able to find a rubber boot from an automotive CV joint, steering rack, or similar that would fit "good enough to get the job done".

lovely squirrel

Steve, At 32:20, you are shown assembling the shims and bearing preload Belleville spring washers. From what I could see, I think you installed the spring backwards. The rotor is going to spin, and the ID race is pressed on the rotor, hence ID race will also be spinning. The preload spring should then be pressing on the bearing OD so the preload is being applied to the non-moving race. Take a look and see if that needs switched. Maybe I’m wrong. If so, please let me know. Best of luck to you. I watch every episode and love all the content. ....... Joel

Looks like you have a new assistant! :)

I really wish you would continue the restoration of the DO-ALL Horizontal Band Saw Project unless you already Sold it ….

Great channel!!!

That's a squirrel cage motor Steve....so rotor and stator are the correct terminology... Squirrel cage motor's work on mutual induction...that's what the shorting rings riveted to each end of the rotor are for...🇬🇧🙂

next time you install a bearing try heating it up to about 165 degrees F, it will then slip on no hammer or press needed. I have done that many times and is the way that motor repair shops do it.

that old girl said wow that feels good when you cleaned her up if you listen close you can hear her sigh

Nice video Steve!

Steve how are things going with SCRAPYARD SAW? It's very interesting to see a sequel.

One of your best videos ever. I enjoyed every part of it.

Hey where did yo get that hone and what kind of lubricant were you using? Ps. Love your work and your video. Definitely thinking about supporting ya on Patreon. 🤙
