Old machinery has soul. Being built to stand the test of time they silently bear witness to wars, famine, plagues, discoveries, advancements and progress.
If only they could talk.
Sometimes if you look close enough you can get a hint of what they have seen.
Past repairs, scars from use and sometimes a modification good or bad.
Above all they have soul.
A piece of every draftsman, foundry worker and mechanic is there. Silently they live on.
How happy an old machine sounds when restored to its original condition and put under power.
If you listen close it will whisper it's secrets in just enough quantity to make you have more questions than it will ever answer.
But on that first moment of life it gives you a bit of that soul.
Be safe and have fun!
Cheers

Such a neat setup. Looking forward to seeing it put to use
I liked your diy space blanket mirror to collect light.
Much cleaner cut that I was expecting. Clearly the power of the drive / momentum / teeth moving past all combine for a high quality finish.
Scaries the heck out of my with all those moving belts to get clothes caught in. Stay safe!
It worries me as well, perhaps some kind of safety guard 💂♂️ would be a good idea, 💡 someone call Buckingham palace! 😄😜
Agree with the safety sentiment, some perspex guards would still reveal the beauty of the machinery.
I'm amazed at how well the alloy rim fits in after painting, it looks like it belongs there.
That's a beautiful machine. Glad to see her running again.
What a beautiful piece of machinery, and will probably still be functional when your grandchildren retire.
Love seeing that old equipment work
It really needs some rubber on the pulleys, it's much less hard on the set of the teeth, that rub on the wheels. Without it the teeth on one side will wear and the blade won't cut straight. Good pulley rubber can be cut from old inner tubes and if needed can be stuck on with Evo Stick. You don't need to let the glue go off as you usually would, just spread it (Or spray) on the pulley and stretch the rubber over. Only ever had to do it once mind.
Now you need to make a blade sharpening machine, that ratchets the blade along one tooth at a time and sharpens it with a Dremel or similar. There are videos on UA-cam on several different designs, some stand alone and others that fix to the bandsaw table.
Good idea on using an inner tube to put 'round the wheels!
But it already has cork tyres : - )
@@wayoutwest-workshopstuff6299 Ah I didn't see those. Sorry, carry on.
Another step on the road to Total Timber World Domination!
I like it!
Good Morning Sir, you are THE BEST ENGINEER and Great way to use old and proven antiques tools 👍👍😉😉👌👌 Cheers 🍻🍻
Thanks 👍
Hi Tim and Sarah, please make some guarding to cover the exposed part of the non cutting side of the blade and the wheels, if the blade flies off for some reason the result is obvious, we may have Tim in several pieces. Many thanks for ALL your very entertaining and interesting videos.
I'm working on it..
With the current price of wood that machine will pay for itself in no time. Thanks for sharing.
I loved your simple solution for the belt guide. I purchased an enormous Italian bandsaw at auction about 6 years ago. It weighs in at approximately 2 metric tonnes. It is 3 phase powered, stands well over 2.5 metres tall and easily processes seasoned hardwood eucalyptus beams. The bandsaw wheels are so large that with the momentum imparted by the 10hp 3phase motor it takes some time for them to stop after I have switched it off. I love the look of it as I do yours , both are works of art.
Nice job.
Blade/wheel guards next please.
Doesn't matter how careful or skill you are, with a machine like this, one mistake changes destroys life's!
Well that’s a rugged old machine there brother!
Obviously it had fallen over at one point and damaged t table pretty severely. But they just don’t make them like that anymore and you got a real beauty there! I love the old machinery and I have some myself and I will take it any day over this new stuff. That’s why I keep my wife around and don’t chase after younger gals! lol
Please don’t tell my wife I said that.
Even though it's big and heavy, you may want to fasten it down. Heavy things walk and fall. You're doing great Tim
Very nice saw! I agree with other commentors that a blade guard is definitely called for.
We have a similar saw at home that's at least 100 years old but was converted to electric some 30 years ago. We had the blade come off it at one point and it was awful even with a guard. These blades are no joke and you need some degree of safety, because accidents can always happen.
I hope you stay safe and enjoy that beast of a saw! Can't wait to see it cut some serious lumber.
How about cutting some not-so-serious and rather carefree lumber? (smile!)
Wonderful work, Tim. I would love to see a fresh blade on that thing - it would surely cut though thick wood like butter!
I love the use of the automotive wheel as the driven pulley
Such a beautiful old piece of machinery. I hope it gets to run for decades to come.
Lovely.
Any plans for blade guards for safety? I'm sure you could rig something up using your plasma cutter and whatnot.
Stay safe!
You are amazing! I really enjoy watching you work through your projects. You have a farmer’s practical approach to your solutions. A farmer isn’t worried about appearance just performance. I do worry about your efforts to build a boiler. Steam is a powerful and dangerous substance to fool with so please be cautious and keep something heavy and thick between you and the boiler at all times.
It's a joy to see old equipment like this come to life again. And it is a bit unfair to believe that people a century ago were substantially more conscientious about manufacturing quality than they are now. I'm sure people made junk in the 19th century too, but we don't see any of it because it's long gone. Only the well made equipment remains a century or more later, reinforcing the idea that people made everything better in the past. It's still a good idea to buy the old, however.
That machine is super cool. Really glad to see you using it there.
Regarding old machinery. You nailed it!
That's amazing. Love the green paint!
I'm a big fan of reusing and repurposing. Well done :)
Nice! Think I would put broken blade catcher mesh guards around the blade wheels. Broken blade interacting with operator would be ugly. Thanks for sharing!
I love your vintage diesel engine and all the machines you run with it. One thing I would do though is maybe build plywood guards over all those exposed belts and pulleys. Too easy to get a piece of clothing caught in there, and all it takes is a momentary lapse of attention after you've been working all day.
That's quite a band saw! I'm impressed.
I like your socket welded to a steel bar. I've done that myself for working on the underside of the bus I converted into a motorhome.
I hope a train doesn't come past and catch the loose end of your timber (in thumbnail)
Very satisfying, thank you.
Great work, Tim...👍
Very nice old band saw.
I'm happy to see you fixing this up for use.
It should do a fine job, as I'm sure it has for most of it's life.
I found your channel by chance.
I enjoyed a couple of your videos.
Take care,EM.
Brilliant Tim! That machine was built to last. You got a good deal on that beast. (Expect if the world ends soon of course.)
What a beautiful piece of old machinery. Thank you for rescueing and reviving it. Looks like you might have to expand the roof on the engine shed to keep it out of the weather. She powered through that big bit of wood with ease. Will be a valued tool in your woodworking collection I bet.
Love your clips and seeing what youre up to pottering and tinkering away happily.
thanks, craig : - )
A very nice and durable looking machine! It operates nice and smooth too.
It sure is!
Hello from Detroit Michigan USA Great video Brother thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise and for taking us on your adventure on the farm
good job
Just been reading some of the comments and they are right you do need a guard on there to stop you getting hurt if the blade snaps or just comes off I have used a lot of bandsaws and band resaws as a wood machinist. Very nice machine
I'm really jealous the sound and old machines so 😎 cool
Down to earth NO NONSENSE good HONEST people, Sandra and Tim!!!!! Our screwed up world could use more like them!!!!
Well done Tim. Another success story. The Supermod car wheel blends in nicely. I must confess to being a bit nervous about no blade and belt guards. They would spoil the aesthetics, but ....... Where are you going now? Keep em coming.
What a bloke do anything brilliant great videos 5 stars
Beautifully done
Thank you!
Very nice.lookes and works great 👍. fantastic job Have a great week
Thanks, Steve - you too : - )
A lovely tool- congratulations.
Yes, very good 👍. Now you want a drill press and a circular saw
We just marvel at what you do Tim your amazing 🤩 we will watch on later we love Ireland 🇮🇪 and love your channel and Sandra and Flora and Trudy and the Donkeys we hope they will be in the New Calendar when they are ready .GodBless and peace ☮️
Amazing thank you for sharing. What a magnificent beast of a machine.
Best voice on the internet.
Hurrah! And thank-you!
When it was still wet that paint you put on looked almost Wandel Green 😂
1:41 the bearing could have been replaced, but honestly those bearings don't wear heavily if they are greased well, kept dry and don't see sand or metal dust in their daily life. Given that you don't exceed their design RPM and the load is well balanced.
Excellent result
This is wonderful! And the green paint ties it so nice together.
Superb cutting action.
I think it is amazing that you took an ancient piece of machinery and gave it a new lease on life.
Such a cool piece of history, Nice channel you have here.
Might be worth building a table extension for the back side of the blade platform. That way when you run some longer pieces through it, you can continue to push through without worrying about the piece dropping onto the wheel.
Way Out West - Workshop Stuff, look for some rubber conveyor belting material, they make pretty good old style wide drive belts
Another job well done!
You can still buy Blades for the saw new. Sailing Yaba gave a few to the yard they are in.
Sandra! Sandra! Make him put some safety guards on all that fabulous machinery! You go out riding with all the safety gear on and your Tim throws caution to the wind and uses a rusty old blade that's liable to become a flailing murder weapon with nothing to protect him.
Bloody good watching from the safety of my armchair though.
Ha! Guards coming..
its funny you mention its age and how long it could continue, with that much iron and proper maintenance, it could last for thousands of years
I used to love old machines especially wood working machines I had found many in a local scrap yard sold for steel and cast price and purchased by me for the same price.
Your video brought back a bunch of great memories so I thank you for the time, effort, editing and ULing these for me to live vicariously through your shop :)
Very nice old machine 👍
Nice find. Something I sure would like to get ahold of.
Very cool Tim! The vintage stuff is great. All the belts flying around are a bit scary to me though!
You and me both!
Really loved this thanks!
Looks very exciting
Tim may I suggest that you didn’t purchase a vintage bandsaw but instead the you purchased the right to be it’s caretaker…..beautiful, highly functional and deserving of your care, skills and attention
Yes, you're right - I hope I'm not the last to look after it
I like you and your content already. Your narration tone sounds jolly which makes watching these vids better explained what is going on. Good work on this stuff.
Glad you like them - thank you.
Thanks Tim
Magic.
I do think Sandra deserves new riding breeches though
Just fantastic
Great to see the saw running. The engine seems to be starting easier.
I trick I use on my diesels is to run them at speed and trickle some water down the intake. It cleans them out very well and makes starting and running them much better. I use a litre or 2 and just trickle it in fast enough so the engine doesn't bog. If it does, I wait a few seconds till it clears and go again. It's very simple and very effective.
Love the vids and all your wonderful toys.
Thanks - but I'm not sure what you mean - the water intake?
@@wayoutwest-workshopstuff6299 I meant pour the water down the air intake where the air filter or inlet manifold is while the engine is running and warmed up.
Do this with my lister which I run on used veg oil and also my other engines and Vehicle.
It cleans out a lot of deposits and can clean injectors tips and free stuck rings. Very simple but helps if an engine is clagged up in anyway.
Seriously? That sounds mad, but I'm intrigued now : - )
Good old saw!
Please consider building a guard to protect you from the saw blade. Especially should it snap. Or if you have your head down looking at your work and walk into the blade.
I love old iron but please guard everything.
Love it Tim. You are an amazing visualizer and then being able to construct what you see out of whats on hand. BRAVO.
BRILLIANT!
what a wonderful racket!
Mate, I reckon next job is get some guards on that saw
I was gifted a homemade full size band saw a few years ago that was built back in the 70s with a motor and transmission from a lot further back. It works perfectly even the wooden pulleys for the saw blade are in good shape with a bearing in the middle and rubber on the outer edges. I prize this band saw and use it every chance I get.
Yours Tim is marvelous. Cheers 🇨🇦
That's great. I had a similar one, made by Gardners of Bristol. I used it a lot but always feared for my fingers... We lived on an island at the time so it was a lot of handling as it was extremely heavy. It was brought to the island on a landing craft as a sort of exercise for the marines!
Well done Tim. I often wonder which inventor you were in a previous life. Your knowledge with machinery is remarkable. Blessings to all 🌻
Well done Tim, nice weather too. 👍
Beautiful
Very cool Tim! :) While I think a flat belt would work much better with the added surface area, the v-belt seems to do ok without much slippage.
Slippage when things get stuck is my basic safety feature - and flat belts are tricky to keep on the pulleys. But I hope to try them one day too.
What a nice cut it made! Hope we'll see more bandsaw action in the future
You are a lucky man, what a nice machine.🙂
You're right on both counts : - )
@@wayoutwest-workshopstuff6299 My guess about the repaired table is that it took awhile to get repaired and was replaced, then sold because maybe the owner didn't quite trust the repair. I love your channel, and am getting materials for a car tire band mill like yours, thanks again for your inspiration!🥰
It just gets better and better.
Well done sir.
Great work, Tim! (thanking Sandra and Will of course as well) It's very gratifying to see vintage stuff in use again. No doubt the old blade shined up a bit with it's use! It looks like it should make short work of your anticipated use!
What an utterly lovely sound! I played that bit several times with the volume way up. And a nice smooth cut. Please consider guards to catch a broken or displaced blade.
She is a beauty of a band saw.
My only guess is that the saw guides were set up quite wrong and when you put it back together you reset everything right according to the specs. The table might have been on backwards or something was on backwards. I am not sure if the guides are reversible or not. Either way such a nice machine.
Are you planning on putting a roller style conveyor belt on the back side of the blade to catch the drops? If you cant buy one I am sure you should be able to easily make a small one with some loose pipes
OLD PEDAL SEWING MACHINE THE NEEDLE IS ATTACHED TO THE PEDAL(S) AND YOU CAN MAKE IT LIGHTER METAL IF YOU LIKE USE A THROTTLE OR SWITCH TO MAKE IT GO AND THE WHEEL IS GOING BY ITSELF MECHANICALLY
IT CAN BE USED FOR DIFFERENT THINGS AND YOU CAN VARY HOW IT'S MADE ALSO IT WILL ONLY ROT IN PATENT SO IT'S YOURS ( PUMP AIR INTO THE OLD PISTONS? WASHING MACHINE ETC )
I wonder if the nick on the table might be from the BACK of the blade from pushing metal or wood into the blade and not the cutting edge hitting the table.
Maybe you should put a gass powered on board compressor on the train to refill the tank and also install a bigger air tank, quick question, if your old stationary engines breaks beyond repair what replacement would you get
