Yes, welcome back. Continue to keep priorities first, but keep up the good work. We'll be here and look forward to new videos as you find time. I like the unique ideas and quality of work and presentation in general. I get to have a hobby vicariously until I can have a shop space again one day. Thank you for sharing your enjoyment of the craft.
I restore woodworking tools as a hobby, and you saw parts came out beautifully! I'm so glad you decided to put your time and efforts into the saw. These machines are meant to last a long time, and with regular maintenance, they will. We have a lot of power tools from the 1920-1930s in our family business and have them maintained by a retired machinist. They know these machines inside out from working with them and because of their care- monthly cleaning, oiling, & greasing they have been running since the time they were bought by my grandfather. They are also sharpened weekly. You know have something you can pass onto your grandkids to use someday.
2:19 This is what happens when you tell a woodworker to go "brush his teeth"! :D Great video Jean and double great to see you again. I can't wait for this saw to be finished. I am dying to know how you'll work it into your work-bench or if it will cause you to re-think your entire layout. See you JUST NOW! Cheers!
Jean as a brit I'm really enjoying watching the restoration that your doing on this machine , Wadkin machines are well made and I can't wait to see the end results and you using it for years to come! It's definitely worth the effort as it will last you a lifetime!!! As always Jean 💯%... 👍🇬🇧
Nice one Jean! I am restoring the exact same saw and it has turned out to be quite a major project, but the end result I am sure will be worth it, these are real solid machines. Look forward to your updates!
I am thoroughly enjoying this process mate, I understand work makes it hard to find / balance your time, I think most of your followers can relate, me especially, please keep doing what you're doing 😊👍
Hear me out on the thing about the lettering. The primer has a rough texture and the aluminium filing will get stuck inside it's pores. But with a good glossy top coat the filings have no such pores they can get stuck in so you just have to rinse it off when you are done sanding, saving you the tideous work with the taping. Just make sure you spray a final coat of clear coat after sanding and cleaning so the aluminium won't hav a chance of oxidising. Keep up the good work!
Another way to paint letters is to paint the letters with wood glue and let it dry then spray the rest of the plate. Once paint is cured just pull the glue off the letters.
Very nice mr l would be very happy with your new saw as for the fence l think l would look for a new one and a rail the same width as your work bench was just looking and is your new saw higher than your work bench now 🤔 well when you do get it all done l hope it gives you a lot of satisfaction stay safe 👍👏👏
For the sign, what I have done, is to paint, then when it is like 3/4 dry, use a rag slightly damp with paint thinner to gently rub off the paint on the letters. No sanding required. 👍
It is so hard to have a designated workshop and full time job, let alone a TH-cam channel, your doing great 👍 I’d paint the wood panels on the back wall white before you install the table saw, make it the standout piece
Really looking forward to see your saw finished and in action. Great job so far and I'm sure it's gonna be a real beauty when finished. Love the channel!
Thank you for all your great videos and i seen 1 of your videos a little while ago you letting your fans know you might shut your channel down i hope you dont we need good content from people like yourself if we have to wait for it i can and. If you would have to i completely understand and hope to see you in the future. Thank you again
Another way to not get paint on those raised surfaces. Is to coat them with a thin layer of petroleum jelly. After paint dries you can wipe the jelly away.
Looking good Jean. Slowly but surely does it every time. You could possibly have used a hot glue gun to cover the letters in hot glue then paint it totally and once it was dry peel the glue off.
A thought for future cleaning projects, put the wire brushes in your drill press and hold the parts. You will have far more flexibility, with not having half the part clamped. Set the drill press on its lowest speed
There used to be a company that specialises in imperial size nuts and bolts in Ontdekkers Road, near the opera house. I wish I knew the name of the place. I bought some stuff from them about 5 years ago.
Great video and content as usual - you really doing a grand job did you manage to locate any knitting mills for taps and dias ? hope you did just curious on feed back
well done as usual! I wonder why you didn't like the paint all and sand the surface method on the signage. it seemed to have worked well. I believe it would give even better edges comparing to tape + knife method. especially when the paint is darker and more contrasting against the aluminium shiny surface.
I am also restoring a 12" AGS wadkin table saw. I have an instruction manual copy that came with the saw if you are interested? It describes everything with maintenance and setting up. Also detailed instructions on how to replace spindle bearings.
You were worried about pitting those parts ..over here in the States we have softer media's then sand for those older and more delicate parts. Might want to check with somebody that does antique car restoration if you do another restoration .. looking great 👍👍 Side note: if you didn't know ..never spray WD40. or lithium in the same room your painting in .. it will cause what is called " fish eye " in your painted project even worse if it gets into the bare surface of your project ..it will be extremely difficult to get out.

Your english is getting better and better. Nice job 👌
Glad to see you're now in the final stages of getting the saw done. Can't wait to see the finished results. Keep up the good work :D
Another great video. Thank you for sharing.
Really nice work, dude! It's getting there! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Looking forward to see the first cut :)

Dis verseker n labour of love. Amper daar ou!
Excellent job on restoring.
Looking good Jean!
Very skilful guy, good luck with the channel!
Thanks for posting!
Looking good! 😎👍
Very interesting restauration and happy to be following.
Looking great.
Another way to paint letters is to paint the letters with wood glue and let it dry then spray the rest of the plate. Once paint is cured just pull the glue off the letters.
Well that’s a cool idea, I must remember that👍🏻
Thank you for the tip.
I was thinking a thin layer of wax on the raised letters, but wood glue sounds good too.
Love this series!!
again nice work
Nice, looks good!
Looking good
Great job man ✊👊🏻💪🏻
Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait for you to start up the restored saw.
What a great project and awesome restoration Jean, can't wait too see you using it.

As always, "Absolute Brilliant!" Thank you for sharing your incredible talents with us kind Sir.
Really looking forward to see your saw finished and in action. Great job so far and I'm sure it's gonna be a real beauty when finished. Love the channel!
Superb
Nice job! And I completely understand the reason to redo that sign. 🤭 Personally I would go with an aftermarket fence...
it's a great job .. which doesn't neglect any details .. I am sure it will be a successful restoration
good luck
Good progress man! 👍

JKM in Randburg carry imperial nuts and bolts

Nice Job! What spray gun do you use? And do you like it?
A thought for future cleaning projects, put the wire brushes in your drill press and hold the parts. You will have far more flexibility, with not having half the part clamped. Set the drill press on its lowest speed
Thanks for the pointer.
Very nice work.
Look forward to seeing it finished.
What do you do for ventilation while using chemicals in such a small space?

@@peterlastrucci324 Duuuuuude! That's exactly the one! Maybe they'll be able to sort out the nuts and bolts Jean needs for this machine.
Great video and content as usual - you really doing a grand job

The edges was definitely better but the aluminium stained the paint and it bothered me. I figured that when I do the top coat it will spoil the look.
@@WoodshopJunkies after the surface sanding, you could use cotton bud dipped in the thinner to touch up the stained aluminium
Just my advice but, put the best fence you can afford on it. The fence will make or break a good saw!

Your Mrs is gonna go nuts when she notices a towel has gone missing! 😂

Go to an auto parts store & ask for a parts cleaning brush.

By watse winkel koop jy die blou painters tape?
Spiros Mica
I was hiping to see episode 2 of the space saver :(
It's on it's way.
Oh ya... You need a pencil grinder too. 😁
All those items would have been okay to sand blast and it would have removed all the paint and rust.
