Thanks! #AndyRawls #GoAndMakeIt
Love both the silent videos and the videos with commentary. You're doing some really great work - with wood AND with the videos
That barn door was breath taking. The facial expressions of these two as they were hanging the door was priceless.
I have a Crescent 36" band saw which was built around the same time as yours. Mine was built around 1910 and I'm guessing yours is as old if not older than mine. Wonderful saw, you'll love it. They are a joy to use. With a sharp blade and the saw running true, it'll cut anything you can hold and push through it. The bearings on your saw are Babbitt. Babbit metal is tin or lead based alloy for axles and crankshafts. Isaaac Babbit invented it in 1839 for use in steam engines. It is very common for them to leak, even after you have poured a new one, then just don't leak as much. So depending on how it runs, ???? you may need to pour a new bearing. If you do, do BOTH of them. The old guys used to put in heaver oil, grease, etc. Another common sight was a small tin can hanging from a wire. Another thing to do, there should be four bolts holding the top cap on, remove the cap and clean the area up, there maybe some small spacers between the cap and bottom lip. Take close look at the top metal to see what shape it is in. Grease it up good, and remove a thin spacer. Run the saw, keep an eye on it. If it gets hot, shut it off and replace the spacer. Other than pouring new bearings there isn't much you can do. Pouring new bearings sounds like a pain, but it isn't really that big of a deal, just takes some time. Everything depends on how it runs and how much you are willing to put up with it leaking. When you do get it powered up, keep a very close eye on those bearings, make sure they do not get too hot. If the get too hot, the axle heat will melt the Babbit and then you have no other choice but to re-pour them. Good luck with your new saw.
If you need to repour the babbit bearings, check out Keith Fenner at Turn Wright Machine Works and Keith Rucker at VintageMachinery.org. They both are very good at repouring babbit bearings. They are excellent machinists.
Really enjoyed the video, Andy. Looking forward to the bandsaw video.
As an old school woodworker and craftsman for most of my life I have to say that it's great to see such young and talented men carrying on such a great tradition!!
Your workshop has an amazing atmosphere. You have a great passion for wood. That's why I like your movies so much.
The oil seepage is typical of well used bearing journals ( aka worn out).
My grandpa used to use 90 gear lube / motor oil mixture on his Frick sawmill, or sulpher based oil used for pipe tapping.
Unfortunately:
You dont want to go there because the stink is very bad.
I suggest machining or get machined journal liners (sleeves), made from either Oilite( impregnated bronze) Google Beemer, or Meehanite( Bunting Bearing).
If you sleeve them, it will save your little guy from having to deal with it in 20 years.
Glad you didnt name him Sue 😁
First time on your Channel 70 year old woodworker a true Craftsman by my standards I work with some of the finest furniture and Cetera that money can buy I have to say you guys are well on your way to being one of the best in the country if you keep doing what you're doing excellent work I like the idea of fit and finish most of all you did a very very excellent job be proud boys I give you..
👏👏👏 👍👍👍 + 👍👍👍 👏👏👏 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Piece of cake. 🎂 nothing to it right boys. LOL
Brilliant experience to see all of this keep up the gr8 work
Even without narration your craftsmanship speaks volumes - keep up the great videos! I know shooting and editing is time consuming, but your ever increasing audience appreciates it.
Loving all of your content, man. Keep up the great work.
Man that door came out awesome! I enjoy watching all of your content. Keep it up!
I really enjoy all of your videos and projects. Thanks for sharing.
Beautifully made door, you boys are very talented.
The view of your lot or land outside - wow! Love it.
I bet it smells AMAZING in there!

Loving the direction you’re going in and a look at the projects that actually bring home the bacon. Cheers!
Great video! The door looks amazing!
Excited to see the bandsaw up and running
I went to the Berdoll sawmill three weeks ago. It was AWESOME!!! I was extremely impressed with the size of the pecan slabs and how many there are in the warehouse. You have to stand next to it to appreciate an 8 quarter slab that is that is 43 inches wide and 245 inches (20 feet 5 inches!) long. They have, by far, the best selection of native local hardwoods. If you live within 150 miles of the place and you are a wood worker you should make the pilgrimage. You'll love it.
One beautiful door. Nice work! Can't wait to see the saw in action.
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you!!
A beautiful door. Love those barn door closures. Love watching your videos.
It's amazing that you were able to find those long boards of mesquite. Beautiful work.
Great video!!. I really enjoy seeing the final product being delivered to the customer.
Yep, really enjoying your video's. Thanks for sharing your talents and experience.
"Chika-lay"... That's exactly how my 3yr daughter says it. Great video keep up the good work.
Love the video format ! Great stuff as always , keep up the good work !
Great video. Very interesting to see your building process. End result was awesome.
Enjoyed the video of the sawmill and the huge slabs of the different wood. Also enjoyed the work performed in your shop and the easy going atmosphere there.
Good stuff, Andy! Thanks for the share!
Gorgeous wood! Mesquite is one of my favorite woods to work with. Haven’t found much Pecan up here in Abilene, plenary of trees but no lumber. Bless you brother!
Beautiful door, Andy.
Just keep going, I'm enjoying. Thanks.
great insight in how you make it look so dern good
I'll have to check them out the next time I'm in that area.
Awesome door Ryan !!! Good job !!!
That is one damn fine looking door Andy!!!
Love your videos man! Keep up the good work!
Great bandsaw honey.
I worked at a lumber mill years ago
and really loved the fresh wood smell🎈
I have a band saw mill. I love it doing black walnut now.
I love pecan! Probably one of my most favorite woods
From my limited experience with old guys that ran equipment that used that style is it's worn. The oil shouldn't be able to seep like that unless you used a thin oil like 3 in 1 oil. So the old guys usually run a thicker oil or a lo temp grease that liquifies when hot and sets like a grease when cold. Some marine greases do that I font remember name brands as I nascent worked on tug boats since I left Seattle in 2001. Hope it helps a little..
no kidding
Been there. Awesome little mill!
I hope Im not the only one to screenshot the sneak-peek of the bandsaw just to have a longer look.
Nice to know that I’m not the only 1 that hears “I wanna go to chic-fil-lay” before everything we do.
Awesome saw mill
Enjoyed watching this just wish I had a shop like that. Just the building I already have the tools.
Lovely work Andy,enjoying this in the uk👏
Thank you for the education
3 D print a new cap that fits so it won't leak. Loved the field trip to the Saw Mill Andy.
Great looking door!
Ok. Your Matt's buddy that put the car on the table. Nice work! Some good looking product.
Great Job Andy! I’m really looking forward to seeing the band saw in-action. Could you give a 5 minute synopsis of the machine including costs and additional extras when you upload the video?
Thanks!
nice one archie
Amazing craftsmanship...
The Berdolls are a great family. I live over there near them.
Really like both silent and these behind the scene ones. Inspiring stuff my dude!
Really Enjoyed Video Thanks
Lovely work thanks ..
great door, nice ending.
Andy, for your bandsaw oil leak, buy a gasket and put it in behind that cap that you said doesn't fit right. Or an O-Ring. Loves your videos! Have a good night
Andy,
I am not sure how I found your channel (maybe Jay Bates sent me here a few weeks ago?) I am very impressed by your skill set, work ethic, as well as humility. I believe we all have an ability to create something good in this life. However, with so much bad news of people cheating people, and feeling they have to steal "to get theirs", or "I dont care how it works, as long as I get paid", your channel, is one of a few, which has given me a renewed hope in my fellow man. You are a true craftsman. I believe your videos give inspiration and one day you will see the impact of your message.
Peace to you and yours.
Very! Very! nice work bro.
Native Texan building contractor here. Nice job on that door.
On old equipment as in the band saw, most seals of that era were caps with a leather seal. One reason it may be loose is the leather had deteriorated or is missing if it had one installed with that cap at one time.
Andy, love the harmonica
Hi Andy this is my first time watching yoir videos hopefully not my last. I love wood working and old tools!! When you put those two items together and someone like yourself is great to watch. I have been in residential construction for 43 years and learn something almost daily. As for the oil leak if you can and have enough thickness in the cap you could possibly file or cut a groove around the outer edge of the cap deep enough inward you could possibly pack it with Oakum first then tightly back it up with stranded lead . The oakum is used to stop the leak the lead is used to help hold oakum in. This would allow if needed in the future to easily remove the cap. Just an idea from the dark ages. Great work keep it up.
I used to live in Bastrop as well as Cedar Creek and never knew this sawmill existed. It makes sense though, since they owned all those pecan trees.
Would love to see a list of the music you use for your videos! It’s all great
enjoyed very much
very pretty door
Amazing sawmill. I wanna sleep there = sweet dreams!
thank you Andy
Awesome door 👍👍👍👍👍
Nice door and a great video
from German
great as always.
Sorry for the late post.... Those bearings seeped when newly fitted. I have a couple of machines that use them, and they get a 50/50 mix of 30w non detergent and slick 50. The slick 50 adds "stickiness" and diminishes the seepage greatly. If you check clearance on the leaky bearings you'll probably find that they're fine. Use a stickier oil.... and wipe them down from time to time. Nature of the beast.
Dude - you are so talented. Love your work.
Thanks...I really appreciate it!
Andy .. love your stuff. Surprised me that you could find that large a batch of "clear" mesquite. My experience was that it was extremely hard, rough, wild grain and always small narrow amounts to work with. You made it look "everyday". And that color was amazing. What I had was grayish green with occasional wood look.
Great music in this video!!
Ian Enderby I
I used to have a similar bandsaw, albeit made in the UK (Wadkin). You shouldn't be using oil in the bearings, instead switch over to a mid-weight grease, I used to use a Castrol Wheel bearing grease, which was probably overkill but it was relatively inexpensive and easy to come by. For my large band re-saw (42" Stenner sawmill) I used a heavier marine grade grease but that was mostly due to the saw being outside.
This seems to be the best advice I’m getting. My oil is too thin .
You mention in the video that they are "oil-bath" bearings but this may not be the case. Did you have them apart at all during the restoration? I would need to go back and watch the other video about the saw to find out. If they are what I'd call a split bearing, IE of two halves, possibly with grooves in the bearing material, you'll 100% be wanting to use a mid-weight grease. If they're a solid bearing, or even ball bearing, you may get away with a thicker oil, preferably something with some tackiness, or a lighter weight grease. Much like anything else of a certain age, a lot of it is down to personal preference/experience. I used to have access to another bandsaw (Startrite) made in the 1950's that had a list of what oils to use where inside the back cover, the only problem being that none of them were still being made!
Im with this idea too Andy, the Wadkins and Oliver’s of this era were very similarly built and a mid weight grease is probably best, almost any oil you put in there is just gonna to too light to stay in.
Heaven!
For the upper shaft on your band saw. Have you looked into replacing the bearing with a sealed bearing. I have used a similar saw before and it had a sealed bearing. Other wise, you might try setting an 'o' ring over the shaft and under the cap. If the housing is equipt with a grease fitting, this may be how it was originally.
As for the cap leaking oil, get some Permatex Anaerobic gasket maker and use that. Pull the cap, put that Anaerobic gasket maker on it and reinstall the cap. The Anaerobic sealer never fully hardens so if you pull it apart, you don't have the harden sealant to remove like you do with most silicone based gasket makers. I've used it for making gaskets on things I occasionally need to remove for maintenance. As long as I'm careful removing it, not getting dirt or anything like that, I don't clean the old off, I just touch up where I need to and put it back on and have never had a problem with it leaking. It does cost about double what the other gasket maker costs but well worth it to me.
On your oil leak, make a cap with three holes for screws. Make a gasket and drill and tap holes to mount it over the bearing hole. this should stop the leak.
Your twin is on Right Media😎
Who's the harmonica by? Anyone know?
You could try replacing the oil with grease
George has the best idea. Use grease that is used to pack wheel bearings. The problem with your oiler is that the seal is bad, replace it and it will start leaking again with in a year. I'm a senior that spent his life doing maintenance work (fixing other peoples junk).
Could you maybe show us some Japanese style joinery one day? Think it would be quite cool your more than capable keep up the good work!
Andy, could you turn a wood cap with a lip to regulate how far it goes in, and then turn the center to allow for a O-Ring to seal it.
love it
Hi. Great workshop..for the leaking bearing...take off the cap and use some permatex silicone around the cap and replace ....it forms a right gasket and seals it in.
Knock 'em Andy. I envy how you young guys can squat, bend, kneel without help. Thx for the mill link.
The best. As per usual
That door is stunning! Would you recommend the same finish if using this type of door as an exterior door? Also, I love when you go over the build techniques you use. As a beginner woodworker these really help me. Thanks Andy!
You could use RTV Black around that cap to create a gasket to seal it.
Hey Andy, you could always do some small rope packing material that is oil tight. This will allow you to fill in the gaps without damaging the parts and once fit and warmed up properly shouldn't leak for decades. The material is used in valves to be water tight but still allow for expansion and contraction. Should be a relatively cheap fix that can be gotten from any Grainger or Fastenal.
I want to go the Chik-fil-et first too!
Bet it smells real good there
Super sweet work as always, Andy. I hope to give you a visit soon & hope that we can possibly work together on something. We provide you with some pecan lumber from the Texas Urban Sawmill to see how you like it, I know our pricing will put a smile on your face. Love your videos & your craftsmanship is simply relaxing to watch. Plus, we aren't located too far away from each other in comparison to other boutique mills. Keep up the great work!!
