Jimmy sent me here. Binged the entire playlist, plus the two parts left off, 13 & 22.
Thank you for not editing that incident out Keith. We can all learn from a mistake like that. I would put some time in a rigging manual. You could have rigged it the same way but also wrapped the choker around a spoke to prevent tipping.
Explain, please. What is double choked?
Made me jump.
@@jobersudyobodou9362 Double choked is a regular choker hitch but you add an extra turn around the part before you make the choke. You just wrap it twice before putting an end through the eye. A double choke is the preferred method for loose, slippy parts such as a pipe that must be lifted at an angle for clearance. That is no longer in my post, I edited it out as a simpler method would be fine for this wheel as the spokes are strong. Generally, you need to rig around strong and solid parts of the piece you're lifting.
The first time it tried to jump out was 8:13. From then on, it could have flipped at any time.
Came for the bandsaw, stayed for the demonstrations of incredible skill and your patient, detailed teaching. I'll likely never get into machining, but I feel I'm a better person for knowing how it's done. Thank you!
good job well done,though my heart jumped when the top wheel slipped thank goodness that hub was on the end of the shaft! so glad you are ok keith!
could see that would happen right from the start when Keith was putting the lifting strop on.
Wow, this is the first time I’ve heard Keith mention anything about his weight loss, he was just joking around with the driver but he did acknowledge it.
On another note, Keith did a fantastic job with this bandsaw, good for another hundred years.
Yeah... that really matters. Good on you getting all up in peoples business. What a loser.
I absolutely love Sarcastic Keith. We see him so rarely, it really stands out.
When I worked for Mr. Edison's light bulb company, EVERY staff meeting first item was safety. What were we proactively doing to make sure the workplace was safe? One practice was twice a day to walk the aisles in the warehouse checking for anything that would cause an injury, at the same time as the walk down we were pushing brooms to keep it clean, a clean shop was a safer shop. Safety glasses, steel toe shoes and gloves were mandatory. Keep up the good work, I like how you emphasize safety.
Those are liability meetings... if you are not safe it is on you.
I know there were a bunch of us hollered without thinking when the top wheel slipped. I know I did.
Good project. Thanks.
That's for sharing this project with all the viewers, it has been a great one! We appreciate all the work and ingenuity required for it's completion. Thanks again and I really enjoy watching your channel since shortly after your started sharing on youtube!
That is A BEAUTIFUL bandsaw !
Wow that was close Keith ,thank goodness that wheel missed you!!, thanks for the video share 🤗
Fantastic job Keith.
Watching you and Jimmy put it together and making a first cut would be an excellent video.
Would love to see this happen!
So often we forget about shipping some some restored project out of the shop to it's intended user. Thanks for showing us that.
Awesome milestone! It has been a blast to follow along!
Happy EASTER !
That gravity check was spectacular. Whew!
Great Job, thank you for sharing your amazing life with us.
What an epic restoration. I can only imagine the anticipation Jimmy must have to get this baby in one of his shops. Thanks for the restoration series.
Thanks for sharing Keith 👍👌
You should take a rigging course. You constantly "clothes line" your slings (@11:50) when you lift. One day it will bite you. If you don't know what I am saying, that is a good indication you should get some instruction.... and @13:28
Exactly right. The way those table were lifted they can EASILY slip out between the straps.
Well done! That beautiful machine is in better shape now than it was when it was first delivered. I'm glad you didn't get hurt, Keith.
Beautiful restoration!!! Thanks for sharing!
I can't wait to see Jimmy's video when he gets it.
Another one out the door. Thanks for taking us on that adventure.
I do believe that this is one of the first projects that I watched on your channel. I've enjoyed it as well as each of your other programs.
You keep a very neat shop! Thanks for all you do.
I’m glad the top wheel didn’t slip off the sling. Another note on safety when lifting things with an overhead crane of any type, is body placement. Do not walk under the load. I was thinking that to myself when I was watching right before the sling slipped. I’ve worked in a steel mill the last 15yr, and have seen two people get critically injured by being under a suspended load, and 1 fatality. All 3 could’ve been avoided by proper body placement. Rigging is important, but cables break, loads shift, etc. Proper body placement is just as important as load rating, rigging, etc. Keeping yourself out from under suspended loads and out of pinch points as well as using no touch tools can save your life.
Well that was quite the accomplishment. Well done
Jimmy’s partner keeps asking when I’m coming up for a visit. I’m thinking I’d make a trip to see this. Hell I’d come up for assembly
Omg you got Lucky it didn't fell on yourselfs !
Standing on a ladder , it could be a fatal accident.
So glad your guardian angel prevented that ❤
Grtz from the netherlands Johny geerts
Awesome job Keith.
I am happy for you to have this project finally finished.
A big job for sure.
Thanks for sharing the process.👍👍
Mr. Rucker I'm glad that collar was on there. Great build enjoyed the series. Thank you.
Thank you Keith!
Thank you for sharing. This project demonstrates an important truth. That being, if you are able to do the work, someone will find you and let you do it.
Bet the old ticker skipped a beat or two when the wheel slipped but all is safe. Excellent restoration and video well done Keith
Thank God you are ok. I see it coming.
This has been a fantastic process to watch from the very beginning! Can't wait to see it working in NY.
This has been very enjoyable to watch this series and I can't wait to see it operation. It's gotta be one of the very few left in the world.
Congratulations to you, Keith, and to Jimmy for a fascinating project and wonderful restoration!!
That took a while, glad it is done, good job.
Such a beautiful restoration Keith. A great but maybe a little sad feeling to see the bandsaw head off to its new home. Thanks for sharing!
Can't imagine the satisfaction you must feel after this accomplishment, I feel great satisfaction too and all I did was watch videos.
I thoroughly enjoyed everything that you had to do to restore the saw! Another great job with every video you shared! Thanks so much, Keith!
Great project and awesome work yuo did. tks.
That is such a beautiful machine. I'm glad to have to been able to see its restoration.
Amazing job on the bandsaw! I can't believe it has been two years!
This is the project that got me watching your channel. I was scrolling through YT and saw the episode where you were removing the shafts from the wheels. Got hooked. Great to see this done.
Gotta wrap it up to protect that fancy pinstriping :)
Whew Keith, I am soooo glad you were not struck by the wheel tipping. Luckly the hub stopped it from coming off. As others have mentioned, we could see it coming in the video. Hind sight is always 20/20 but that was too close. This bandsaw was a great rebuild and enjoyed watching the process and a few improvements you made. Came out very nice. Great job. Be careful and thanks for sharing.
It's great people like you restore and use these great machines!!
Yet another excellent video.
I have really enjoyed this series on the restoration and I am looking forward to more like it.
Well done. Thanks for sharing this journey!
Great video ...nice to see the process from restoration to the final disessambling and readiing for transport! I would LOVE to see the arrival at Jimmy`s ...the unloading and the final placing cq assembly! 👏👏👏👏
That's a neat band saw ! Thanks for all your hard work on it ! It's been an Adventure 😊😊😊
That was and amazing project to watch you from start to finish. Thanks for sharing as always, keith
Jimmy is going to love it !!
Very interesting restoration.
Enjoyed all the vids and thanks for your time.
Congrats on a great restoration! It is now ready for the next century!
Thanks for the thriller video. I thought for a second that this was the last video. Glade every thing work out. A hart felt thanks for the video Keith.
You have done a remarkable job restoring that bandsaw! Thank you.
Great job Keith
Awesome project, loved every minute! I went back and watched part 1 again, what an incredible transformation, and not just the band saw but in yourself as well! Congrats on both restorations!😁
Yes I jumped with ya with that wheel slipping.
Happy Friday Georgia!😊⚙️🛠👍👍👍👍✌️
just goes to show ya. no such thing as too safe. gave me a heck of a start. glad it didnt turn out worse.
Nice, Great job
Can't wait for those videos in the other end!
So glad you didn’t do a Brian!😮
Rain on a truck bed at 65mph is a hurricane, water will go in all directions. For 45 years shipped heavy equipment/machinery. We much preferred a heavy tarp over the top of any of our water proofing. That said, good to see the bandsaw gone.
Thank you for another great video. Cheers
It’s fun to see a butto put on this series!
Good morning Keith. Glad you did not get injured. Will you be going up to help reassemble the saw? Thanks for the videos.
thanks enough is great job thank you very much
thank you
Great vid as always. A trick that some know about is that you can use a 12 point socket that is larger size that the actual bolt .
I watched this restoration from start to finish. The only thing better would have been to help you do it. Congratulations on the restoration.
Safe travels. Hope it's there and unloaded by now.
Thank you for sharing.👍
I have 2 small come alongs I use to raise and lower mine.
The sling could be dragged through the spokes near the hub; first horizontally left and right from the hub, then back through a space over the hub.
You might say its a wrap, job finished
Complimenti sei un vero meccanico artista ormai appartieni a una razza in estinzione 😮
I don't see well but rigging the table that basket like without ensuring the straps won't slip together can be dangerous too. I just put an USB on the top of a table like that to keep the distance between the straps
Jeez Keith, my heart was in my mouth with that one, lone working is dangerous enough, that wouldn’t of been an injury, that would of been a fatality, really run through your lift plan at least three times thank god it was your lucky day.
"Rigging, think about what you are doing" Don't forget "Rigging and any other heavy lifting - get help. Don't force the limits by trying to do it all by yourself"
Think, think, think. That was too close and a definite learning experience. Kind of like when Brian Block had the wire rope failure.
Keith, I have to say when I saw that strap slip, I let out a verbal WHOA. That shaft collar was the saving grace, very lucky it was there. Now, the real question is- what's going to go in the space that was freed up? Take care, G.
I'm glad you know you were lucky! Working on a ladder like that on your own is a rookie error.
@@paulcopeland9035LOL! 😄
Good video, and a salutory warning for us all too.. Even experienced guys can make a simple error. You were lucky not to end up wearing that big wheel as an ornament!
If I ever build another rolling gantry crane I will fashion iy after this one. The ability to increase it's height or lower it is just great. I'm sure glad you didn't get hit with the wheel and shaft or get run over guiding the trailer back. Some days eh.
Good morning
Keith, please consider wearing a hardhat when lifting heavy loads above head level. Thanks for including your mishap. It happens to EVERYONE, at some point or another.
Stay in your own lane.
Wow.... i'm only 10 min into the vid, but ya owe me a roll of TP for the top wheel pulling that stunt!, Ok on with the show LOL
Hmmm- remove the lower wheel then set the machine on the floor and remove the top wheel- no need to fool with the crane. Both failed as "R" words- Keith almost lost the wheel and the driver loaded the machine cross ways with short straps. Gonna be harder to unload and if he had to hit the brakes hard, it might go over. Loading the long way would be more stable.
I am guessing you have more videos of the restoring of the bandsaw. I found it interesting because I have an old cast iron 36 inch bandsaw. I did not restore it, I just use it. lol. I could not help but notice the Tally Ho capstan in the background. Looking for to seeing the next video on that.
It's been an interesting project, I look forward to the next one. You got lucky with that wheel. Take care, I'd hate to see you get squashed.
When you said you are going to shrink wrap, you are actually stretch wrapping, to shrink wrap you need to set it on plastic wrap and cover it up with another piece of plastic an use a heat gun to make a top cover for it then heat up the top and attach the bottom and shrink it tight to finish I did that for 8 yrs.
Keith I think you should have removed the blade guide and the rear blade guard off, the guide could very easily be bent and the guard since it's wood could be broken pretty easily as well.
26:00-- Any excuse to travel. 😅😉
good job Keith hope you can make it to jimmy's to get it to gather and see it saw some wood
Great job on the Diresta Bandsaw project Keith. Also appreciated today's loading for shipment video. Now back to the Steam Stoker Engine series ? 😊
Don't hold your breath!
I'm willing to bet that Jimmy has forgotten all about this after all this time!
