![Why Did They Stop Making These? [Restoration]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/gh0SV8aPnMU/mqdefault.jpg)
"It's my saw, I can do what I want". Hell yeah! Too many purists and gatekeepers. I think it's looking great and really enjoyed the vid.
I like that you just clear coated the saw because it has a great patina and looks the way an almost 100 year machine should look. I can't wait for the next episode Andy. Good job. Cheers from this old retired coot living the dream in Tennessee.
I really appreciate watching you and your Dad refurbish these vintage machines and putting them back to work, Andy! Good going!!
Thanks Marty!!
WOW! Onawa Iowa is a tiny town just a couple miles from me. I had family that went to school there, and very likely may have used that saw. So cool!
Just found your channel and subbed. I picked up the same 192 last year, just 8 machines newer 32406. Overall in good shape but it was converted to cut metal with a reduction gearbox. Thanks for doing this restore, learned alot this saw, before going through mine.
You can use a mallet or brass/copper drift to hammer on those metal parts. As long as it is softer material it will distort or mushroom verses the shaft.
Interesting looking saw. I've got an old 18" bandsaw I refurbished. I've visited a few forums but have yet to find anything that will tell me the who made it or what year it was built. Most people that have seen it guess it to be from the 1920's but maybe the 1930's. It's a nice old saw that even has a factory rolling steerable cast iron base. It's got a 22x24 table with a little 5.5" wide by 11" deep extension table (for lack of a better term) that sits at the left side of the main table. But the small aux table doesn't move like the main table that tilts.
For that grease cup,you should be able to get grease pellets to use, less messy.
McMaster Carr might have them.
The saw is looking good.
Nice,glad to see history kept alive.great looking saw.just keep doing what your doing and carry on 😎😎😎👍👍👍
I just got my first bandsaw last week, mostly for resawing. Still psyching myself up to use it on that nice bit of wood which encouraged me to buy it.
Love your videos and dont miss one of them. Can't wait for the next Oliver video. Enjoy your biltong we buy it here in South Africa from our butchers and regular groceries stores. You should try our chillybites and 'droë wors' too. Blessings from Johan and Rencia, Middelburg, Mpumalanga, SA.
It's looking fantastic, Andy! You and your father are doing an amazing job! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I loved your “It’s my saw, I can do what I want.” With that being said, it would look cool in a dark green.
It definitely would! Maybe I’ll paint it in the future
Very cool. Can’t wait to see it fired up.
I miss working with my dad. Keep doing this as long as you can.
That's a pretty cool old saw Andy!
So, I was staying at a place in far west Texas, and they had for display, out under an awning near the horse barn, an old 1906 model (i forgot the name) 36-inch bandsaw. It has a heavy tilting table bigger than your big Oliver. The bearings were good (!), and it looked like all it needed was a motor, tires, and a blade, and she'd be hogging through timbers again. I asked if he'd sell it, but no, I guess they wanted to just look at it. 😞
Glad to see your post. 😊😊
Looking good, Andy. A nice, solid machine.

Just found your channel and Subscribed. Very nice work
Sweet! I would love to have that in my shop! 🙂
thanks
Your dad is just a cool, easy going dude. Pretty funny too.
It had been a while since I saw the first two videos so I watched them again. You might consider using electrolysis for cleaning up future project machines... It would remove the corrosion, oil, grease, and any paint that is over the corroded areas. It would save you a lot of labor time as you can leave parts in the process for hours/days/weeks as needed. It is self limiting so you don't have to worry about dissolving the parts! Using washing soda (e.g., Arm & Hammer washing soda) for the electrolyte offers the side benefit of degreasing the parts. You can even do machine tables and frames by using suitable plastic containers (e.g., kiddie pool, IBC totes) to hold the part and electrolyte solution. Electrolysis helps you get corroded parts apart without brute force... which the parts appreciate. I've cleaned up 100s of hand tools and machine parts using electrolysis... wish I'd "discovered" it earlier in life!
Thanks for the advice. I will do anything other than sandblasting! I’ll try it out next time
@@AndyRawls I've got a 1905 36" Crescent band saw. I like seeing old iron resurrected!
@@johngrossbohlin7582 I've got an 18" saw that I haven't even been able to identify the maker so far. Most people that have seen it or pics guess it to be from the 1920's. It's got a somewhat unique rolling base that I've only seen one other machine (a very large disk sander) that had the same style base.
I congratulate you for attempting restoration on such an old band saw. When eating your beef jerky you mentioned that you prefer not to eat unnatural additives. You named off the ingredients for the recipe. But one item, under FDA current policy, which allows the maker to place MSG like compounds into their mix to enhance the taste without having to say that it is MSG under the term "natural flavors." So watch out for that one!
is that a direct drive machine? I keep running across them that have been converted, it's nice to see you restoring it to original, there is nothing better than Oliver machinery.
I don’t think you can actually call it a direct drive since it has the gear box.
@@AndyRawls does the motor connect right to the gearbox? I have seen a bunch of them that have been converted to belt drive I think mainly because they were 3 phase to start with and someone wanted it to be single phase someday I will find the right one
Lol, the size of your "little" saw is the size of my big one! my "big" one is a 1915 crescent 20, little one is a 1940's Beaver 12 inch. exactly the same reasoning as you as well.
Was there a problem with your new Oliver? I understand the love of old tools, but you also made a comment about cutting curves that suggested the newer version wasn’t an option.
The new Oliver was a decent saw but it had some issues. Oliver actually discontinued their bandsaw line. My understanding is that they’re going back to the drawing board to design a newer better model
Your dad has been in the last two videos and no Robert. Is he no longer working there?
Some one asked about Robert in a previous video. I think he left back in October/November to set up on his own.
Stop using a dam hammer! I would've taken photo's & specs of that composite gear. Yet a good job.
Well I guess that a fair hazing! Next time I won’t use the hammer.
@@AndyRawls Yes you needed a hazing! I've been in the Sheet Metal business for over 20yrs. I watch the Machinist make production dies for yrs, I was Set-Up Mechanic, can't use regular hammers, we used dead blow mallets. My old Band-Saw, made by Penn State Industries; its 31yrs old. I made upgrades to it yrs ago, Carter Guides & Better tires, blades last longer. And I didn't use a hammerKeep up the good work!
Are you gonna consider hiring a new shop assistant?
Not anytime soon
Camera focus on the job at hand : No i dont think i will..
and why a 2nd one? 🤔🙄
I kinda explained it at the end of the video. The big saw is setup with a 1” resaw blade which can’t really cut curves so the smaller saw will by curve cutting saw and the big saw for roughing out lumber and resawing
Spoiler alert MSG is a naturally occurring compound
