1940s Large Bandsaw [DiRestoration]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 сер 2018
- In this video Jimmy DiResta invited me to his workshop to help rescue this 1945 Delta Milwaukee 14" Bandsaw. We decided to not do a typical restoration, but go with a raw steel and brass look for all parts. We both really liked how this turned out and hopefully I can do more things like this every once in a while.
The exposed parts of the bandsaw were fairly rusty, but the internals were in surprisingly good shape. Luckily not all of the bearings needed replacing as I only brought a few new bearings and finding new ones in the short time I was there, was not possible.
I focused on disassembly, cleaning, removing paint and rust, and reassembling the bandsaw. Jimmy focused on remaking the knobs in solid brass, making the blade guard out of oak, welding the new pulleys, making the motor mount, and hooking up the power switch.
Brett McAfee focused on "brassing" certain steel parts on the saw so it would look even better. You can see his process here: • Ship Shop: Nautical Ke...
We all had a lot of fun and I hope to do this again one day. Thank you for inviting me Jimmy!

It always amazes me that, no matter how simple a machine may look, it will be made up of many more parts than you think it is. Great team effort! Need to do more.
Some things seem to have far more parts than they need. Others would have been made much better by the addition of just another part or two.
Your videos always crack me up. The subtle and unexpected humor kills me. Good work guys!
Stroking the two screws like nipples cracked me up, so funny.,
The Broke back mountain moment was disturbing, roflmao
the little rubber hands of jimmy diresta touched your work!!!
Jimmy making grumpy faces at the bandsaw at the end was the best part of the whole video!
I love the look of tools of this era. The brass knobs Jimmy turned could not be more perfect. Beautiful tool!.
Stakman1-Stacey L This tool is no different than what you can get today. I bought the same tool in the mid 80's.

I liked how Tracey Chipmunk was playing in the background
Thank you Mr. Diresta for letting this be filmed in your shop.
It’s awesome you give these old tools new life!
Dude, just wanted to let you know that your videos are super zen for me. Watching you take things apart and then put them back together all bright and shiny is really relaxing. So...thanks for doing what you do.
Loved the “clicksping” reference during the machining
SO AWESOME! I love seeing old things restored and used again. 👍🏼
Dude, keep doing what you're doing, and don't ever change!! You too Jimmy Diresta!!! You both are one of the Greatest!!
such a great project. It was an honor to grind for you, sir!
What an absolute beaut! I would say its a museum piece, but, I think it deserves to be used. It was made to be used, it still works. Use it!
Right before I ask about rust, you started applying clear coat. Nice.
Cool love to see the old tools brought back to life.
you two made a great team,
Haha, thanks!
Always¡
Oh, wow, Mustie1!
When're you gonna get that shiney red beaver wet?
Ayeeee, one awesome commenting on another awesome UA-camrs channel!
Got my wrench today! It’s awesome!
I rescued a bandsaw I was told was a Delta from the early 60's broke it down to rebuild it as you guys did, then found out it was from Harbor Freight around 2005. Beat damn saw, nothing slows it down.
Very nice machine. I have a 1948 Milwaukee band saw with the gearbox, so it cuts wood and metal. I restored mine a couple years ago and am very pleased with the results. Thanks for the video!
That brought back a lot of memories. I grew up on that very saw. it was a dangerous childhood!
Even more dangerous with no guard.
I was conceived on that very saw. My parents liked to live dangerously.
I was born on that very saw! Still have the scars!
First band saw I ever worked on and first set of fingers I picked up off of. Not mine , still have them all .
Same here, I grew up with this guy. We still have ours! Still a good tool
Simply AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL job....thanks for sharing. Outstanding.
That was awesome! I would love to find an older band saw like that to restore. Jimmy DiResta is a true genius who can make anything work. Great job. :-)
That was very enjoyable to watch as usual. Thank you once again.
Esse canal e muuuuito bom, eu passo o dia todo vendo os seus vídeos.
Sou do Brasil.
It's easy to forget just how many camera setups you do for one video! Bravo for all the hard work!
It must take 20 times as long to do something and film it, as just to do it.
That turned out all kinds of awesome. SO satisfying to watch.
Great collaboration! Awesome finished product!
Great work. Haven’t heard Tracy Chapman in yonks! Blast from the past.
Hahaha, the best!
Thank you! I *knew* I knew the song, but I didn't want to resort to slowing the video playback down to figure it out. I failed.
Such a good (and sad) song. What's a yonk?
Yonks is “ages” - one of those daft words we say in England. 😃
Noted! I'll have to add that to my own vocab------uhh....lexicon.
Awesome, cool to hear about your new workshop. Hope it turns out how you like it.
Thank you!
I can’t wait until that glorious day when my workshop isn’t just a corner in the car garage.
What a good video. I just love seeing things restored. Thanks.
Another awesome resurrection! Great that you got to work with Jimmy in his shop!!

Two best gadgeteers on youtube in same video.. Holly Molly my dream is real :D
Johny Spade gadgeteers?
I like that.
I love the collaboration!!!! Another great restoration.
i loved this collab! your guys energy together is entertaining!
13:58 SO ROMANTIC
Bromantic :)
jimmy diresta is pulling some Patrick Swayze mumbo jumbo right there

Broke Back milling...
AHH! Same drop time??? I cant watch them both at the same time. !!! 😁
Beautiful bandsaw. Great job!!
Looks like you are found a real good helper friend . Thank you ❤️🍀🍀🍀🍀👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼🌵🇺🇸
Excellent as always.
The "Vertical Wire-Wheel?!" got me.
Haha, blasphemy.
I really enjoy watching those big projects 👌 where do you find all these?
Tons of that stuff in New York...
The ruins of old tools are all around, once you start looking.
Una pregunta cuál es la serie de la Sierra porfavor que yo tengo una igual la serie de la mía es 381616 para no encuentro información de ella
Cool rescue! Currently working on a 1946 16" Walker-Turner...can't wait to see her running again.
Brilliant collaboration.
The watermarks in the video... I think you reached a milestone: Others are using your work as theirs. Congrats!
Saw turned out great and the teamwork was magnificent.
Concerning the new shop: The best way to find out what is missing is by using other peoples shops.
I loved the logo getting bigger and bigger, that had me laughing so hard. Good to see Jimmy D finally getting to appear on a UA-cam channel... Oh wait, the good of the land, r&r buildings, etc. I wish I could do that. I bet all I have to do is have my own very successful channel...
Beautiful work, both of you.
So good, love it! You and Jimmy probably had a great time
Good job 👍, do you have finished this amazing restoration in one day?🤩🙀
Only had 3 days!
Hand Tool Rescue thank you for answer
This was one of your best! You've earned my Patreon for the year. Unfortunately, I'm also sending you a bill for my bleeding ears at @10:38. Oh, wait. I'm Canadian. No medical bill. I guess you're good to go, then.
Wow! Thank you! Haha, FEEL THE PAIN!
Might be paying them every week, but they're not gonna bankrupt him though...
True. But it's still a _lot_ less than it would be south of the border. :-)
But they will bankrupt him some day. And not just him but the entire country also.
I have had 4 major operations in the last 15 years. The only cost to me was the taxi to and from the hospital or parking fees. I paid taxes for 35 years. I am retired now so I only pay 25% up to a max of 25.00 per precription. No dought If I lived in the US I would be bankrupt and living on the street. Last winter the temperature went down to 40 below zero. At that temperature I would be dead.
gorgeous collab
I love Your work and sense of humor 😋
I am a new subscriber from india free from irritating background musics🤗
Welcome!
It's not every day Deadpool subscribes lol.
That was rad! But who's the other guy... kinda cramped your style.
Geoffrey Croker the other guy is Jimmy diresta!!
I think he knows.
r/wooosh
Thanks! haha, just some random guy. He's up and coming on UA-cam.
BurntWaffles .. wow.. really? sarcasm and jokes are wasted on you i bet..lol
from this video we understand that taking apart and put back together the parts ,and using a tones of rust remover is something what this guys called restoration
Turned out right nice, excellent collaboration! You, Jimmy and Brett did great!
Thank you!
@14:03 An instance of manly love expressed while operating heavy machinery.

Great video collaboration, thank you for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
How did you keep track of all the parts?
I look away for a second and I’m sure I loose 1/2 of what I have out on the bench 😂
Excellent piece Mr.DiResta Mr.HT.Rescue
Wow, my father had that exact model of saw in his shop while I was growing up. I remember him cursing about those aluminum screws every time he tore it apart for referb. Man this brings back memories. Keep up the awesome work.
Beautifully modelled! You remind me a bit of that guy in the original Superman movies! Was his name Zog or something? 🤔😂😂
Kneel before Hand Tool Rescue.
You mean Non. Zod was the general. Non was the nincompoop.. :D

Haha yes!! No offence but yes I mean the ninconpoop! He didn't speak, just squealed and grunted 😂
I keep thinking what's Kal Penn doing it this video.
Had me rolling, that was a awesome "Ghost " moment. So who was Patrick Swayze?
We'll never tell.
It was diresta.
this video contains everything it needs! hard work, sweat, smear, dust, dirt, METAAALLLL and so much LOVE!!! Echt Knallharte Jungs!!!
Turned out great and cuts like a beast! Nice collab!
Hmmmm. Not sure I’d be wearing a Rolex in the workshop... 😉
Jimmy is fancy like that.
If you pay 1300$ for a watch, it better not fall apart just because you got it dirty in the shop
If I paid $1300 for a watch, well, you can't get fooled again
"gently remove this parts" with hammer and shaking :D
Man I love the look of the raw steel.
Not to shabby. Seriously, always lovely work & fun to watch vid! ! I love the band saw face!👍🤠
This is a DiRestsawration!
10:00 Logo...what are you doing?...Logo!...STAPH :D
Great video. Love the collaboration of both channels. Nice.
Amazing video, great restoration!
4:24
I heard it! "Lefty loosey"
Check at 3:00 mins and 25:00 mins...can you spot something different? That piece went upside down? There's an indentation or mark in that part seen at 25 mins that wasn't there at 3:00. Just me?
Joecarvin : Upside down and back to front. That's why they had to beat it together as well as apart! Aside from that a cool vid.
Beautiful, simply beautiful
A collaboration between my 2 favorite UA-camrs? YES YES YES!!!
Ha! I almost did a spit-take at 13:59
hahahaha
That bandsaw deserved better than rattle can clear lacquer. For shame.
Yeah, but rattle can lacquer is better than leaving it in the condition it was in. For sure.
Yeah. Looks unfinished.
I agree....I'm just not getting it.....A great job in the prep and all else, but I am extremely disappointed in the "raw" look......To me it's now no better than before they started..I just cant figure out what was accomplished.
awesome collaboration, you guys are great.
Thanks!
Amazing restoration.
10:43 was this making fun of Diresta because he puts his logo on everything?
Yes!
Well I think HRT *should* put his logo on things he fixes. Usually in normally hidden locations that you'd only find when taking the item apart.
Wow! So so beautiful!!! All the best,
Cristian
Love it. Terrific finished look. I have knob envy with those brass knobs.
Fantastic duet 😁👍💪
Thanks for this video. I have an Atlas bandsaw like this that I acquired 20 years ago. Mine has an enclosed base. It has what looks like the original blade guard at the cutting guide, but a cobbled together guard at the blade return. I’m going to try an create what you and Jimmy made.
Love all your videos. Please keep it up.
Awesome...can't wait to use it the next time I stop by. I can't wait to get that wrench either!
That wrench is the best present for "man with hands", sad that need too long time. Ordered for me and my friend.
Great job. I’ve got one just like it. Your video will really help putting mine back together. Thanks
The first 20 seconds is pure art. I wish there was more
Best Canadian/US collaboration since Rush and Aimee Mann’s Time Stand Still. Nicely done guys.
Great videos and I like the no talking and your whimsical attitude.
The “Ghost” moment at 14:00 😂😂hilarious 😆 awesome work 👏🏼
I said it on Jimmy's channel and I'll say it again... beyond nice! Thanks for the video.
the hands on the lathe sequence... should have been unchained melody. Its a match made in heaven, you both do beautiful work.
Man that came out beautiful! You make me want to go through my shop and do similar to all my old tools.
So do it!
i really need more diresta in my life
Awesome project!
Perfect finish for this band saw
I about spit my drink out when I saw Jimmy throw a 1 x 12 on there vertically and jam it through LOL, Great job as always!!!
Great restoration! The saw is worth so much more than all the work put into it. That should last a long time.
You crack me up your subtle humor is amazing
