Moving a Big Bandsaw [42" Tannewitz] - Warehouse Vlog 3

- So this is actually a 42" Tannewitz. I was mistaken. Based on the info I was able to find this saw should weigh around 3200lbs (1450kg). There is no tag on the saw so I'll have to find the serial number to look up it's date of manufacture.

I think this might actually be a 42" saw now that I'm doing some research. Remind me to get a tape measure for the warehouse.
Don't forget to get the metric one too. Then leave there and don't use it.
Hey Matt, get a tape measure for the warehouse.
Get 2 cause one is going to be lonely...
Visit owwm.org and vintagemachinery.org. They will both have information.
Storing things for other is pottering (after Joe Potter). Moving items is ruckering (yes after Keith Rucker).

BIG bandsaw deserves another BIG CONGRATULATIONS and Thank You to AL for getting it and storing it for you!
A classic piece of machinery. Restore this bad boy and use it for another 50 years. Excellent.
You and Steve are so lucky to have Al helping you. He is a great guy !!!!
He really is
Matt you had it easy doing all the loading with a forklift. When I bought my 36 inch mid 50s Oliver band saw I had to winch it on my tilt trailer to load it. Yes saw like this are scary to move because they are so top heavy! Any time you move a machine like that and no one gets hurt and you have not destroyed your machine. You should consider it a great day!!
I live in Stillwater, MN and finally got my Norwood sawmill. Thanks to your videos I feel like I kinda know what I'm doing!
Awesome!!
Steve Summers is a great guy, Love watching his videos.. Really enjoying seeing his shop come together!
Used to run a vertical bandsaw twice that size of that mill. The boss used to say hold still when the blade broke. I've run saws you've never seen. Two weeks after I left the job a saw took my replacements hand off. It takes a special person to be a Sawyer.
Yikes!
@@MJ-nb1qn that was the 80s. That the way it was.
Scott Jepson - Yes I know. I’m an old man now. In the 70’s I worked in a big metal fab shop, we made alfalfa dehydrators 60 feet long. I once almost cut both arms off a young apprentice while running a metal sheer cutting 1” sheet steel with about a 8’ x 4’ piece sticking out the back. He had his arms under it getting scrap metal out. It was a huge machine. The most amazing thing I helped, was rolling a 6” x 9” steel bar into an 18 foot circle with 1/8” tolerance. We had 3 overhead cranes and 5 men working and one boss screaming at us the whole time. Good Times.
@@MJ-nb1qn I had a lot of jobs there. Sometimes I would drill holes in 5ft long white pine. To do it right you'd go a little at a time. If you went to fast the bit would grab. Then the 4 by 6 would swing around and knock you on your butt. I would usually laugh. The boss continually put me on more dangerous jobs. I was a sawyer. I could take it. Had a lot of kick backs on a dado set up on a table saw. Stepped out of the way and let it go over my shoulder. You couldn't even believe all the things that happened with 3 and a half inch nails guns. I actually loved that job even though the sign on the wall never went two days without an accident. Millinials could never handle that. I think I was making 5.50 an hour. I loved it!
And suddenly Matt is very glad he built that trailer! That thing is massive and I'm sooo jealous!
Love the casual style Matt. Great BIG bandsaw!
I'm loving the vlogs. It's cool to see the whole operation start from the bottom on up. Congrats on all of the success of the chair kits and here's to smooth sailing on everything with the new house (fingers still crossed 'til its over and done).
Thank you so much!
Buttery smooth shot on the hover board. Lol
Hi Matt,
Thanks for taking the time to share the progress. Looks like you're having fun!
Regards,
R
Thanks!
So, you're talking about your buddy Al, we know Al, and what he does, and what he's like, and we like Al. THEN, the mid roll kicks in and for me as a UK viewer I get the Cadbury's Dairy Milk ad, the one with the kids throwing the chocolate bar over the fence. I know it's just an ad, but that's it, I'm in pieces. Perfect ad, perfect timing. :)
WELL...... That was scary and AWESOME 😃. Well done. Looking forward to the re-build.
Great job Matt, you’re getting it going your way now. Nice job moving the band saw to the warehouse 👍👍. Thanks for sharing with us.
Thanks!
Great score on the bandsaw. After missing several 36” saws in the past I finally landed one just a couple of weeks ago along with two 16” Dewalt radial arm saws and a panel saw. Band saw is a Yates maybe late 1800s vintage with a 7 1/2 hp Baldor motor. From a lumber yard that opened in 1889. Now to come up with space to put it.
Cool looking saw.
Matt, you might want to touch base with Andy Rawls as he refurbished a 36" Oliver. At least I think I remember it being an Oliver. Keith Rucker might have manuals on his site.
i need a friend named AL, but never had one. you are making great strides in your new warehouse set up, but things are looking awesome.
Makes me think a little bit of the band saw that Fireball Tool worked on recently. His was over 100 years old but the base of it looks similar. Big and beefy. Look forward to see that thing running.
Matt, THAT is a BIG SAW, Looks like your warehouse is loading up well. Can't wait to see you get it going like you did the Mill.
Matt, some one inch PVC cut to the appropriate length and stored next to the push up door will be useful and handy.
awesome saw! cant wait to see the restore
Oh. No!! The paint job. It's a good think you made that trailer to use.
Nice job with the forklift. Years ago, working for cable tv, I learned how to pick up coinswith the forks in the middle of the floor. Neat little trick. Need to show you somehow. Lots of free lunches making buts with people. Told them to set it any where I could get the forklift, pick it up right there, then give it to them sitting on top of the fork. Good luck with another new adventure.
I have a 36'' Oliver vertical band saw and I love it. Mine had a broken trunnion which I machined a new part to fix it, these saws have a weakness with the trunnion so be careful not to drop a heavy timber on the table. I built adjustable stops for my saw to help support the table when at a flat 90 degree setting, which is where the table is most of the time anyway. If you don't have a blade welder you will need one to make the blades as they are ,in my case 19' blades. For big blades I tig or mig weld them using a jig to hold the blade ends straight. I also found that a magnetic fence is very helpful. Good luck with it and be careful as these saws are very fast cutters It could take a finger or two off before you felt it.
Love those claw marks on your trailer! LOL!
It is fun to see how things is evolving over time!
With regards to shipping, if you remember the old Samsonite commercials, where they drop the luggage out of a plane and let a Silverback Gorilla beat it all to heck...you should pack your stuff really well so that even a gorilla couldn't damage it. Your customers will appreciate it more than you know. 30 years ago, I worked for RPS, which is now FedEx Ground. The drivers are pretty great about taking care of your stuff, because they are always getting chewed out for things that go wrong, even if it isn't their fault. But the kids that are unloading and loading vans and trailers aren't so vested and beat the crud out of packages, like monkeys. Best wishes on your new endeavors, you are a great person, and you deserve the good things you are making happen.
What an utterly ridiculous bandsaw. Let’s re-saw some slabs!
When making fine move with my forklift I use the hand brake not the foot brake. On mine the foot brake disengages the transmission where as the hand brake does not. Try it on yours see if works for you.
I’ll try it thanks!
On the forklift at work there is a parking brake foot lever and then two actual brake pedals. Left is the ‘inching pedal’ which disengages the trans. as you mentioned. The other brakes while keeping power, I think for control on inclines. But generally you want to be using the inching pedal as it works like a clutch.
Wow your so brave Matt, I was holding my breath praying you would not get hurt. Spags would certainly wimp out in moving that unit. 😀
That's a nice big saw - half your luck having a mate find and store that for you!! Nice one Al 😁.
Also good to see the new trailer has got some patina already lol.
This is really great Matt! I’m proud of you! 😁
Thanks!
I too have a friend called Al, everyone needs an Al in their life
I'm named Al and I have a friend named Al. It's a duality.
My Al is also a great guy
Als are great 👍
My brothers name is Al. One of my best friends I ever had.
Hey Matt, A really well built saw. When I worked as a Machinist in a job shop, we rebuilt about ten of them. You are a really hard worker and I know a decent guy, wishing you every success in your venture. Busy times for me so catching up on videos. All the best, C.
Thank you!!
looking good matt!
Nice update Matt! Thanks for sharing with us!💖👌👍😎JP
I just picked up a 1500lbs DRSC-63 band saw today, I thought THAT was big. This one is huge.
Can't wait to get it up and running. :-)
That thing is a monster...awesome!
AL is Great! Thanks for the channel mention Matthew, I subscribed and look forward to keeping up with what's going on
Thanks Steve!
What a beast!! That's gonna be a PROJECT!!
The bed of your trailer had never looked so pristine as the day of its christening...😂 now let's put it to work!💪👍
Tannewitz is still in business. Rebuilt about 20 BS. Currently have on 36" tanny apart. BS are really not top heavy, the issue is the bases are narrow.
Nice bandsaw; that will certainly open some doors for you.
Good for you .... well done 👍
This brings back memories of my summer during college working in a lumber yard. I was a goddamn artiste with the forklift. That's the one thing I miss about that job. XD
Awesome bandsaw Matt. Be sure to check out "the Fireball Tool" videos where he completely restores a similar saw.
You go Matt !
Tannewitz is still in business. I have the exact same saw that I got off of Ebay about ten years ago. And Yes it is a 42in. It winds up like a jet at take off and takes forever to stop unless you use the foot brake. Mine runs so smooth that you can balance a nickel on edge when it is running. There are several UA-cam vids of smaller ones running.
Do not buy a after market manual as they are a ripoff. If I can figure out how to send you pictures I will send you some of mine and the three phase setup I have.
oh snap Matt. the paint is scratched on the deck!
Matt parts are still available for your saw. Tannewiz is located in Michigan
I got a similar deal on 2 24” grizzly band saws. Had to buy both, or none.
I literally had an email drafted to send to you to see if you wanted the second at cost (500$ and I live in Minneapolis) but found a buyer right before I hit send.
The big saws are nice to have. You don’t use them often, but dang they come in handy when you need them!
Have fun with that beast!!
thanks!!
I remember seeing pictures of one of these saws that had a forklift incident and became two half bandsaws.
"oh my Paint!! ??? LOL! Nice that its coming together for you!
Really cool Matt! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Pro tip. Matt, add 2-300 heavy coats of clear coat on top of the red paint, so the paint don't scratch. You are welcome.
forgot to add that mine is mounted on a six inch steel " I" beam so that the bottom wheel clears the floor.
Good Luke with the new space , Love your work you have a nice wife and family behind you, Good luke again.
Thank you!
@Matthew Cremona Please read the manual for your forklift. The left pedal is for disengaging the transmission while still in gear to put more power to the hydraulics.
Please use the middle pedal to stop the machine with a load on it
Still getting used to that
Matt some added info. The motor is a 7.5 hp and you can find a serial/model no is on the motor side on top of the upper wheel shaft just above the tilt handle. Hope this helps
Thanks so much, Rick!
That’s not a band saw, that’s a tank! So awesome! #shopgoals
Frank is going to be running out to his shop to make sure his is still there. :)
Hahahaha
I envy you and at the same time even though setting your place up would be fun at times better you then me been there done that long ago. Keep up the great work!
Flying a drone and driving a forklift at the same time. Man you have mad skills.
Watch Andrew Camarata's channel
@Dementia Joe Biden yeah, between all of that cast iron housing and that enormous motor on the bottom, there is no way that tool is top heavy. 2/3 or better of the weight is from the table down.
@Dementia Joe Biden yup, i've spent many hours on many different forklifts upto and including conex movers, you'd have to get pretty wreckless with quick whipping turns or quick stops to overturn that bandsaw.
Strapped mine to the guys forklift when he was loading. He had to drive up and down a steep bump.
I’d love to see you clean it up and make a fancy wood base for it.
Jarring
Aloha Matt. Nice get. Definitely a 42 inch bandsaw. Anytime the lower wheel drops below the foot castings then its bigger than a 36 inch BS.
When I saw the wheel cover was lower than the base I knew it was a 42 inch now all you need is a matching left handed one never seen a left hand 42” but most patternshops had 36” right and left hand band sews
I think some touch up paint is already called for, Matt... just a bit. Maybe a gallon or so? 😊
Matt, you have come a long way from that software guy who did wood work in his off time. Congratulations on your progress and best of luck as you move forward.
Thank you Don! It’s been quite the adventure!
That is a big bandsaw. You should be able to do some really impressive resawing with that.
It's easy to tell 42" saws from the 36's" because the lower wheel drops below the feet of the frame.
Tannewitz saws tend to be beat up because they are typically used in high volume, high production environments (such as furniture shops). The tables are often highly worn and not flat. Just from the looks of this saw, it's seen some abuse. Likely run hard, and put away wet.
funnily enough i am picking up its little bro next week 24" wheels and tilt bed resaw to work with my woodmizer lt40, snap!
I’m glad all is going well with you. It can’t be from selling me one of your very many slabs, though. 😜🙁😁
Good evening Matt, I’m a forklift driver by day, I’ve done it for 15 years. When this COVID stuff is over I’d love to come and work for you for free for a week or so.
Keep in touch. Thanks Dave!
To find out what the motor is, stick some light up under the guard and take a picture or 10 with you phone.
Please start a count of how many times the bandsaw gets moved out of the way. Nice warehouse space
Hey Matt. Thanks for keeping us up to date! Did you know a pallet on a fork lift would fit between your fender and the front rail of your trailer or was it a happy accident?
Little bit of both. That area is a bit over 4’
What you need now is a pet hand fed gopher to Steve's pet squirrels
I hope you keep the Sox stickers on there.
It’s a beaut, Clark.
OK Sparky!
2 years ago I had the opportunity to get a 36 inch tannewitz bandsaw for $300 from a local scrapyard. After a couple months of trying to figure out how I'd haul it home, get it into my shop and stand the 9 foot tall 3000 pound beast up between my rafters I decided to let it go. I regret it to this day. Although I did score a vintage 26 inch saw last year from the same place for $150. Needs the top wheel welded and a little cleaning but it'll make a nice saw.
So Matt how long before you’re adding wheels to your saw mill and taking it to the warehouse to plank all those logs in the yard?
Shooting the ending scene with a selfie-stik from a hover-board, nice. Although, the spinning parts could make some viewer's vertigo go a bit haywire.
Hunka-hunka saw!
Will you be able to do any woodworking in the warehouse? How does that affect the other bays?
Watching this caused me to have flashbacks to moving my 36" 1905 Crescent band saw... It was hairy! The seller used a backhoe to get it on the trailer. My brother in law towed it to his shop (commercial electric motor and generator shop). While there he put new bearings in the motor and made a new collar for the top wheel. After that he brought it to my house with a lift gate truck and set it on my driveway. To get it to my lumber shed I disassembled it.. took the motor, wheels, etc. off the frame. While moving the frame down a grassy incline to my lumber shed my shirt got caught on the top guide bolts that I foolishly put back in their holes. At that point I couldn't stand the frame up nor could I set it down. I ended up lowering the saw frame and myself to the ground... pinning myself to the ground in the process. I yelled out for help to get untangled and get it back up right (sans the bolts)! I think that when the time comes it will go with the house as I don't want to think about getting it out of the lumber shed and back up the incline! That saw comes in second to the large 19th century safe I moved one time in terms of nearly killing me! LOL
That would have made a good video! Glad you survived!
When you were unloading at the warehouse (@5:00) I noticed a lot of logs stacked in the grass on the other side of the parking lot. Do you know what they are and what they may be for? Just curious. :) Thanks.
Question: are the chair components made there in another part of the warehouse? That would be awesome if the delivery was simply moving them to your corner and never leaving the building. Maybe that’s why this is the warehouse location? Just musing.
need to see what you have for sale. and when did you start this business. thank you and good luck
good luck with the closing
Thanks!
Jimmy DiResta would be loving this!
man, I wish I was with you to help you out...
Imprecionante 👍
What sort of mast on the silver Nissan Forklift, 2W200 or similar
Un Believable!
So now we are calling it the workshop, not the warehouse. Knew more tools would find their way over! Hahahaha
Huge! It has a tilting table... can it used like a shipsaw?
yes but not as convenient as a true ship saw where the head moves
Does use of that Unicarriers forklift come with the facility rental, or did you have to buy/rent that yourself?
I bought it
