I love your commentaries Tubalcain! Talking about "absconding" with your wife's Totes, or dirty items having "corruption" or Tommy the "spite" mower, or "lamenting" the loss of an item. Your vocabulary is awesome! It makes me laugh on a tough day. You certainly hit the mark with edu-tainment, always informative and fun. Please keep up the work, it brings joy to people, which is a gift. Thank you.
I've used it a number of times. You have to be careful because it will turn parts black if left in too long. It also moves them towards a sandblasted look. Usually there are not other good choices and it's still best. I've also used straight vinegar on files with good results. However, if left too long, same result.
It's a shame that interest in foundry videos is low. I have 35 years experience in producing "Shell " cores and molds and never tire of watching videos related to the most basic production techniques. Thanks for your shop teacher approach , sense of humor and variety of video subject matter .
I'm really glad you could straighten that beam out. Could have been a whole lot more work. Looks like it's a real bargain now. Can't wait to see her run.
You just had me rolling on the floor laughing my --- off (rotflmao) When you said,"Glad your wife finally got a new turkey baster"! then, Larry Curly, & Moe/New neighbor's! Had me laughing!!!
I have a compressor that had the same problem (just after the warranty expired). When there is pressure in the tank the motor doesn't have enough torque to drive the piston until it reaches operating speed so it just hums for about 10 seconds & then blows the breaker. Everybody told me it has to be the check valve but I could disconnect the line and prove that the check valve was 'checking'. It turned out to be the 'cold start valve' - a little bleeder valve on the output of the cylinder that lets the motor get up to speed before closing. I forget where I got mine, but I notice Amazon has them (searched "air compressor cold start valve").
That cricket was so loud i couldnt turn it up enough to hear your voice without everyone at work hearing that thing and asking what the heck i was listening to. Lol
I love your videos, sir. Even the foundry ones. (Really, the foundry ones are the ones that I actually have the tools to do myself) I always learn something from every video. Thank you for continuing to make them.
Your air Compressor either has a Bad Start Capacitor on the motor, or Bad pressure unloader in the switch thats not releasing the head pressure when the Compressor cycles off - Both are cheap and easy to replace
I bought a compressor from Lowes to just leave in one of my barns and it was the same way. It would not start when cycling at pressure. It had no unloader at all, they just expected the motor to have enough grunt to get going under load apparently, of course it was not sized properly to do it. My twice as big old Campbell Hausfield runs great on the same circuit so I know it was just a bad designed compressor. I took it back.
Spite demolition across the street???😉 Perhaps you sold your hit&miss engines too soon. I have used JB Weld and also Devcon powdered steel putty to fill in potting and get a smooth surface. Apply with a stiff putty knife to force it into the books & crannies and then screed off the surface with a stiff plastic edge... My wife's VISA card did the trick for me... It was a win-win situation. Nice video!👍👍
Putting the neighbor on blast FTW!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!! LOVE IT!!! Yeah Lyle, I hear ya on that one. I've got more than a few Daryl's and his brother up by me in Aurora as well. Makes you wonder doesn't it? Shiesh.
I have learned much from your instruction, wish I had taken metal shop when in high school 50 years ago. I am wondering about horizontal bandsaws vs. a carbide parting tool on a lathe for stock under 1.5 inches. I have watched your parting videos but you did not talk much nor endorse the carbide insert parting method. I would love to hear your views on carbide insert parting tools such as the accusize 1/2" x 1/2" holder. Thank you again for all you've done.
Well good morning Mr Pete and everyone else on the channel. She's looking good! Coffee and bacon and eggs are on the table so I'll see you on your next edutainment.
It's normal to have garages or basements with a slanted floor, it's for the water getting to the drain or in one determined direction. About the Horror Freight compressor not wanting to restart unless empty, there is a pressure release valve that is probably defective, this valve releases the pressure from the compressor's head after a charge cycle, otherwise the piston is still loaded and won't restart due to too much force needed from the motor. A new valve should solve the issue, or, even better if it's under warranty... Good work on the crooked guide bar... 😎👍
Interesting video series. Very informative and entertaining. I’m saddened to see you’ll be posting no more foundry videos, I find the process fascinating. I’ve used the vinegar soak method for derusting, Evaporust looks like it’s a bit more thorough and complete. Keep up the great work, Mr. Pete.👍
That’s going to be a handy saw for you . Craftsman isn’t the same as it was years ago ! But I must say I was impressed how well built some of the components were. You will get it all fixed up and make upgrades as you need them. Nice job Mr Pete Thanks for Sharing. God Bless
Gr8 video as usual. I could listen to you talk for hours! In regards to the bent aluminum shaft (Bubba strikes again!),you obviously were able to straighten it or to straighten it good enough. It occured to me that maybe if you left it clamped in the vice for a longer period of time (over night or even a few days) that the soft metal would take a "set" and spring-back would all but be eliminated. I have very little knowledge of metals or working with them so this may be a really worthless thought. Your saw turned out great and you revived a good piece of equipment. Just don't let Daryl & Daryl Demolition borrow it!
That aluminum straightened pretty good ..Remember the Monroe Bros.. carpenters from Green Acres tv show I have seen some of their work before ..Especially their crooked and twisted wallstuds
You might be able to file those trunnions smooth and free up the tilt. OTOH, smoothing therm might make the table prone to slipping and getting off-square unexpectedly. My Deltras had (have - I still have one) a tendency to get off-square if someone (who, me?) leaned on the extended fence rails.
For the pitting on the flat surface. I would JB Weld and a flat edge piece of plastic or even metal trowel used for drywall work as a squeegee to fill it the pitting holes. After it sets. use some fine wet/dry sand paper to sand it to a smooth flat surface.
but....but I like your Foundary videos !!!!! you've taught me a bunch on that ! don't say your not going to make any more !!! AAACK ! ....oh well, do what ya gott'a do ! on straightening the beam out I think I would have use your ruler as a bending point and shims on the other side and see if you could get it perfectly straight..... but hay... it's close enough ! well done and get to the upper wheel slop... make a new pin or bolt ( probably just needs a shoulder bolt in there!) but that slop side to side bothers me ! your Still tops on my list ! keep up the good work ! Bob.....
Great video, as always! Rust pitting takes a long time to occur, I'm not buying the wet rag story. Rags dry in a day or two. Looks like two cans/jugs were set there and condensation ran off them--over years.
Hoosier neighbors?? I mean, whose your neighbors?? heh... Well done on the table. I'm glad you didn't do the electrolysis. I hooked one up backwards, and had some beautiful sacrificial anodes. Drill press foot wasn't very happy though.
Just a comment on straightenong in a vise. Obce you get as close as you can, if need just a bit more, put a small diameter pin in at the high spot and re-apply pressure. If still not enough, go to slightly larger diameter pin and repeat till it as straight as you want.. John
Looking great Mr. Pete! That's going to be a great saw once you're done! I know I am interested in your foundry and 3d printing videos.... Building demolition with a chain saw?? Wow.....
Why not put shims in the vice? 1/2" wide on either side opposite of the high spot, one on the high spot peak. This way you could over bend the .020. It looks like you've got it just fine anyway. I can't help but think of ways. You really must tell us what you have against hydraulic presses. I don't remember ever seeing one in your shop. ;-) Table is fine. I was not aware of this product out there. Not many small metal band saws ever made.
I thought you might use 3 pins with one on the opposite side of the other 2 and then bend it in the vise. Good Fix. How many band saws do you have now?
I myself was at a big auction this week. A big fastener manufacturing plant shut down and had everything plus the kitchen sink up for auction. It lasted 14 hrs and I thought how much stuff you could of walked away with. I did pick up a Grob 18” vertical bandsaw for next to nothing and a few Brown & Sharpe 0g set up to run headed fasteners.
Wow you got a bargain. I think I said that in one video that the big bandsaws were cheap. I met Mr. grobe On two different occasions. That’s a long time ago
I have always wanted a nice stout vertical bandsaw. I will take a few pictures and send them to you of the truck bringing all the new toys for my shop. I have a old Ingersoll rand air compressor that we have not used in about 5 years or so. Would you be interested in it for your shop? I am looking to get rid of some of our old stuff.
I started using paraffin wax in a cross hatch pattern then dissolve / rub in with gasoline on a rag. This prevents rust for a very long time on cast iron exposed to water used to cool steel
Hi Mr Pete you good video I was going to go look at a powermatic 143 metal cutting band saw 14 in probably 40 years or older better $1,200 was the asking price when I was inquiring about it the guy pissed me off so bad I told him to keep it so now I'm converting a Delta 14 in wood in the metal thanks Mr Pete JM
Unfortunate experience with the HF compressor. I have a little $99 one I bought from them 11 years ago, still running strong. I did have to replace the pressure gauge. Otherwise, it's been a great little compressor. My neighbors think so too since everyone within a 3 mile radius comes to air up their tires! You sure do come up with some fantastic finds! That is going to be a great bandsaw when you finish.
Hello Mrpete I bought a box of old lathe tool the weekend and in the box was a eclipse magnetic chuck 5" seems to work but have no key is it worth keeping should I sell it don't see many being used and very pricey on ebay why I'm thinking of selling just don't want to thing down the line should have kept it!!! Any help / advice would be great Thanks Dan
@@mrpete222 thanks I was worried I'd sell it an next week u would do a video saying if u find one get it 🙄 would have killed me thanks mrpete appreciate u taking the time to reply
That rust was'nt as bad as it looked. The guide straight as an arrow. I suppose we se the motor adjustment and what you do about that table adjustment mechanism in the next installment. looked like they where installed backward or somthing, or bent in the same incident as the blade guide? great show, very edutaining!
If you can stand the smell, vinegar works great as a rust stripper and is very cheap. When I remove rust and after thorough cleaning, I treat the surface with Boeshield T-9 so that it can penetrate the pores opened by the vinegar. After that the rust has been killed permanently. I was laid up for a while in the past and left my snap-on tool box open in my detached garage for a year or so, the mice had an orgy in there causing rust on the bright chrome plated tools within. Rodent excrement is a most potent and persistent destroyer of mans most precious possessions. I now relish the thought of any rodent’s untimely demise!
Yep, you may not want to de-rust ever again but what machinist doesn't deal with rust now and then. It looks as if you have a pretty good band saw. :-)
The 3 Stooges pouring concrete ! Now that should get millions of views on TH-cam. The two Darryl's removing that garage could be funny :) Will you reuse that turkey baster at Thanksgiving ?
Hey there Mr. Pete. Would it be possible to flip the bent aluminum bar upside down so the bent part was inside the machine, I know you will have to drill new holes but just a thought. Great video, been a subscriber for years and always enjoy you videos. Nick form Pittsburgh
Mr. Pete, did you get your visor magnifier from McMaster Carr? I can’t find a decent one local and am leery of the ones on Amazon. What power works best for you? Thank you
I'm surprised at how well this saw is constructed despite it's faults. I had forgotten that DoAll bandsaws were fabricated steel instead of cast iron construction but, the toolroom was many years ago for me. The absolute best price I have found for bandsaw blades, is on bandsawbladesdirect.com. They are Lenox blades. The only trouble is, they are slow to arrive and they know it. Which is probably, why their prices are so reasonable.
I wouldnt have wasted the evapo rust. A little whiskey-delta-two-score and a piece of emery paper and that would of been good enough. Its a bandsaw table, not a fine swiss watch.
@@mrpete222 Roll-In band saw can be used as a normal band saw, or you can set the table to move into the piece you want to cut. They are pretty pricey a new sells for $4500.00. The saw uses a counter weight to move the table. There is a vise mounted on the bed. I really enjoy your channel. You where the shop teacher I wished I could have had. Mine just stayed in his ofifce and smoked cigarettes. Thanks Joe
Mr. Pete222/Tubalcain, I have a Harbor Freight 21 gallon Central pneumatic air compressor & with mine, It takes a 1/4 air relief valve because the electric motor is to weak so, they allow the 1st many pounds of air to escape to allow the motor to get up to speed with less load=DESIGN FLAW! I am simply wondering if your air compressor needs a new valve Got mine on Ebay
Mr pete...this is off subject but, i watched some of your old videos etc....anywho in a couple old videos you acquired several books by D Gingery and I was curious that you never tackled one of those projects...what with your foundry and propensity for making steam engines etc....signed curious in Michigan LOL...
I use Apple cider vinegar for rust. I think it works great. I have soaked bolts that had heavy rust and they look new. On hardware I coat with OSPHO after. Also a great steel preservative. It will turn the finish black but I like the finish. A light coat of oil and it looks like gun blue. That's what they use on steel aircraft parts so it can't be bad.
Even after watching Hand Tool Rescue over 2 years on TH-cam use Evap-O-Rust it is still impressive to see how well it works. As for getting parts for your saw Mr. Pete you might try to figure out what other saw brand is the twin to yours and then search websites like www.ereplacementparts.com/ for parts for your saw. My 14” wood cutting Sears Professional band saw is a lot different from the 15” version you show in the manual. I guess Sears bought from different manufacturers over the years. Not sure how old my saw is though.
Yep. I think the guy that borrowed it probably tried to run a big chunk of wood through it at slow speed and caught the blade which bent the guide, broke the blade and stripped off the tire.

Evaporust always looks to work surprisingly well. Good to know there are products that aren't all snake oil.
Depth of the Evapo-Rust is above the nuts, now that's a situation I'd rather not contemplate. Good stuff as usual Mr. Pete
Sounds like it'd be a tingly situation.

I've never used Evaporust yet, but I'm always impressed when someone else does - thanks.

Usually there are not other good choices and it's still best. I've also used straight vinegar on files with good results. However, if left too long, same result.
@@CraftedChannel I've noted that if you get the "sandblasted" look its because the ER got all of the rust out of the pits already there.
I like using an e tank ,I’ve also used molasses a few times.
Never use 30 minute ones because I left $200 worth of inside outside calipers and divider and it ate the springs threads and the whole thing .
It's a shame that interest in foundry videos is low. I have 35 years experience in producing "Shell " cores and
molds and never tire of watching videos related to the most basic production techniques.

Good Afternoon Lyle, Love your videos, I live up in North Eastern Ontario, Canada.
You might be able to file those trunnions smooth and free up the tilt. OTOH, smoothing therm might make the table prone to slipping and getting off-square unexpectedly. My Deltras had (have - I still have one) a tendency to get off-square if someone (who, me?) leaned on the extended fence rails.
Got to love that pesky cricket lol 😆
I knew you would be able to tune it up. Never going to do any more rust removal - ha. Looking forward to further videos.
Thanks for the video Mr Pete.
I thought of flipping this guide-beam upside down. Maybe that fancy rack and pinion shenanigan would not have worked then.
hahaha Larry, Darryl and Darryl...We used to say, "Happier than Larry, Darryl and Darryl with a sack full of possums..."
lol
Lookin' good. Be interested to see how it cuts when you video it. Keep it up "Mr Pete".
We love you.
What did you do about lining up the motor pulley ?
i really enjoy all of your videos!
Thanks
For the pitting on the flat surface. I would JB Weld and a flat edge piece of plastic or even metal trowel used for drywall work as a squeegee to fill it the pitting holes. After it sets. use some fine wet/dry sand paper to sand it to a smooth flat surface.
Thanks for the Sunday morning videos👍

Must be a record year for crickets. A lot of crickets in TH-cam videos lately.
Fun video. Thank you.
Glad you got the guide straightened, since it straightened somewhat easily I suspect that it wasn’t that difficult to bend it in shipping.
I think you are absolutely right, it was pretty soft
you really need to find and get rid of that cricket, haha.
10 hours of work I put in and you complain about a cricket
Great video, as always! Rust pitting takes a long time to occur, I'm not buying the wet rag story. Rags dry in a day or two. Looks like two cans/jugs were set there and condensation ran off them--over years.

Well done on the table. I'm glad you didn't do the electrolysis. I hooked one up backwards, and had some beautiful sacrificial anodes. Drill press foot wasn't very happy though.
Yes
Very nice MrPete! Lol on Daryl and his brother Daryl!
You were up way too long to post tis around 5:30 AM central but thanks. Love your stuff.
Mr Pete, the pressure switch on your compressor is adjustable, take the cover off and adjust the tension on the spring.
i think he was just useing a "little" sarcasm
Great video and interesting. I have some stuff that needs some evaporust.
lol
Great job on the restoration, you have quite a find here, would love to find a good used one myself, however they seem to be quite rare.
If you use the three pin method, you can straighten that adjustable blade guide dead nuts straight in your milling machine vise.
Please keep us posted on Daryl and Daryl's home improvement project and let us know if Larry makes an appearance.
Just a comment on straightenong in a vise. Obce you get as close as you can, if need just a bit more, put a small diameter pin in at the high spot and re-apply pressure. If still not enough, go to slightly larger diameter pin and repeat till it as straight as you want..
John
Good idea
Looking great Mr. Pete! That's going to be a great saw once you're done!
I know I am interested in your foundry and 3d printing videos....
Building demolition with a chain saw?? Wow.....
Thanks
Why not put shims in the vice? 1/2" wide on either side opposite of the high spot, one on the high spot peak. This way you could over bend the .020. It looks like you've got it just fine anyway. I can't help but think of ways. You really must tell us what you have against hydraulic presses. I don't remember ever seeing one in your shop. ;-) Table is fine. I was not aware of this product out there. Not many small metal band saws ever made.
I can’t afford a Press. And they are always in the way, considering you only use them twice a year
evapo-rust is an excellent product, however it usually takes days of soaking, not hours for me. it can be used over and over by adding fresh.
The saw turned out nice...good price also..nice going mrpete222, now saw us up some steaks LOL
Yes
I thought you might use 3 pins with one on the opposite side of the other 2 and then bend it in the vise. Good Fix. How many band saws do you have now?
I myself was at a big auction this week. A big fastener manufacturing plant shut down and had everything plus the kitchen sink up for auction. It lasted 14 hrs and I thought how much stuff you could of walked away with. I did pick up a Grob 18” vertical bandsaw for next to nothing and a few Brown & Sharpe 0g set up to run headed fasteners.

Johnson's paste wax is what I use on my table saw.
yes I use it on my bandsaw and scroll saw also tablesaw and drillpresses
I started using paraffin wax in a cross hatch pattern then dissolve / rub in with gasoline on a rag. This prevents rust for a very long time on cast iron exposed to water used to cool steel
Hi Mr Pete you good video I was going to go look at a powermatic 143 metal cutting band saw 14 in probably 40 years or older better $1,200 was the asking price when I was inquiring about it the guy pissed me off so bad I told him to keep it so now I'm converting a Delta 14 in wood in the metal thanks Mr Pete JM

Unfortunate experience with the HF compressor. I have a little $99 one I bought from them 11 years ago, still running strong. I did have to replace the pressure gauge. Otherwise, it's been a great little compressor. My neighbors think so too since everyone within a 3 mile radius comes to air up their tires! You sure do come up with some fantastic finds! That is going to be a great bandsaw when you finish.
Thanks

Go ahead and sell it. I never have used one, do not know much about them
@@mrpete222 thanks I was worried I'd sell it an next week u would do a video saying if u find one get it 🙄 would have killed me thanks mrpete appreciate u taking the time to reply

But he did say that no more de-rusting! Go figure.
Wow! You must really like that cricket. He's been in a lot of your recent videos.

I now relish the thought of any rodent’s untimely demise!
Lyle forget the oil on the band saw table use Carnauba Wax 😁. And repeat coat's 🙌 .Allso funnels help transferring fluid's .
Don't wax steel surfaces. Wax seals in moisture (if present) causing intergranular corrosion. Oil will actually float moisture out.
I'm still trying to decide whether to buy a small metal band saw or convert a wood saw, any ideas? Good quick show
Watch my many other videos where I attempted to do that
Yep, you may not want to de-rust ever again but what machinist doesn't deal with rust now and then. It looks as if you have a pretty good band saw. :-)
Bravo, mr Pete, if it works like I think it will you have a wonderfull tule.......again....I envy you
The 3 Stooges pouring concrete ! Now that should get millions of views on TH-cam. The two Darryl's removing that garage could be funny :) Will you reuse that turkey baster at Thanksgiving ?
Yes. They cost $.99
Hey there Mr. Pete. Would it be possible to flip the bent aluminum bar upside down so the bent part was inside the machine, I know you will have to drill new holes but just a thought. Great video, been a subscriber for years and always enjoy you videos.

I find citric acid dissolved in warm water excellent for rust removal. Its cheap and safe to pour down the drain when finished.
Evapo-Rust is also a very safe product. It too can be disposed down the drain.

It could be the same stuff truth be told.
Love it!
Mr. Pete, did you get your visor magnifier from McMaster Carr? I can’t find a decent one local and am leery of the ones on Amazon. What power works best for you? Thank you
It’s on number three. I got it at an auction
Mr Pete I'm surprised that part wasn't made of steel considering how well the machine is made
The extrusion was cheap, no machining required
Why not put that guide bar in a shop press to straighten it?
I'm surprised at how well this saw is constructed despite it's faults. I had forgotten that DoAll bandsaws were fabricated steel instead of cast iron construction but, the toolroom was many years ago for me. The absolute best price I have found for bandsaw blades, is on bandsawbladesdirect.com. They are Lenox blades. The only trouble is, they are slow to arrive and they know it. Which is probably, why their prices are so reasonable.
I wouldnt have wasted the evapo rust. A little whiskey-delta-two-score and a piece of emery paper and that would of been good enough. Its a bandsaw table, not a fine swiss watch.
I use oil and then use paste wax on it afterwards to protect the service
Mr Pete what are your thoughts on a Roll-In Band Saw. Thank Joe
What is that, never heard of it
@@mrpete222 Roll-In band saw can be used as a normal band saw, or you can set the table to move into the piece you want to cut. They are pretty pricey a new sells for $4500.00. The saw uses a counter weight to move the table. There is a vise mounted on the bed. I really enjoy your channel. You where the shop teacher I wished I could have had. Mine just stayed in his ofifce and smoked cigarettes. Thanks Joe
With the table sitting on the stool, is it a stool sample?
great video.
Mr. Pete222/Tubalcain, I have a Harbor Freight 21 gallon Central pneumatic air compressor & with mine, It takes a 1/4 air relief valve because the electric motor is to weak so, they allow the 1st many pounds of air to escape to allow the motor to get up to speed with less load=DESIGN FLAW! I am simply wondering if your air compressor needs a new valve Got mine on Ebay
Yes
Mr pete...this is off subject but, i watched some of your old videos etc....anywho in a couple old videos you acquired several books by D Gingery and I was curious that you never tackled one of those projects...what with your foundry and propensity for making steam engines etc....signed curious in Michigan LOL...
Never did tackle his projects
I was skeptical, but I tried Evapo-Rust and it really works!.
Yes
I use Apple cider vinegar for rust. I think it works great. I have soaked bolts that had heavy rust and they look new. On hardware I coat with OSPHO after. Also a great steel preservative. It will turn the finish black but I like the finish. A light coat of oil and it looks like gun blue. That's what they use on steel aircraft parts so it can't be bad.
Very Good video
If it isn’t the spite mowing, it is the chainsaws. . .
Good old TLC from mr Pete and just like new , next ? ....
👍
Even after watching Hand Tool Rescue over 2 years on TH-cam use Evap-O-Rust it is still impressive to see how well it works.
As for getting parts for your saw Mr. Pete you might try to figure out what other saw brand is the twin to yours and then search websites like www.ereplacementparts.com/ for parts for your saw.
My 14” wood cutting Sears Professional band saw is a lot different from the 15” version you show in the manual. I guess Sears bought from different manufacturers over the years. Not sure how old my saw is though.
Thanks
I think Daryl and Daryl are the dudes that 'borrowed' the bandsaw from the prev. owner and wadded up the upper guide & tire.
Yep. I think the guy that borrowed it probably tried to run a big chunk of wood through it at slow speed and caught the blade which bent the guide, broke the blade and stripped off the tire.
I have a tool I would like to donate to your identify series. How can I do that?
I've wondered whatever happened to Darryl and Darryl since the show was cancelled?
That’s them all right. Bob Newhart is behind the house
