More than a capable machine ... it's a work of ART. One comment I have from my experience in fabricating and painting is my conversion from Rattle-Cans to and Air Brush. I can't begin to express the advantages of using an Air Brush, and also that converting "myself" to using it was absolutely painless. Having infinite control is one thing, but a major feature is that I can paint at my leisure rather than the timing limitations imposed by the type of propellant in the rattle-can. I talked with an Air Brush artist for advice on the equipment to buy. She advised me that for my use, just purchase a Harbor Freight quality system (Air Brush, compressor, etc.), but more important is the complete disassembly and cleaning of the Air Brush (the paint gun) after each use, which takes very little time and keeps the paint quality high. I now have three Air Brushes so I can switch to different colors on the fly. The conversion is not expensive, in fact if you discount the initial equipment purchase, it saves a ton of money since buying paint in containers is significantly cheaper than rattle-cans. One further item, try to buy the large capacity Air Brush reservoir to cut down on reloading time.
An air brush and paint gun are quite different. I use a HVLP gun for larger jobs. From my experience, what I know as an Air brush is very low volume. Good for artistic stuff like feathering.
@@WinkysWorkshopThat's what I thought initially. My perspective was it's for artists. The lady I visited showed me quite the opposite can be true. It's all in the gun you use. True you're not going to paint a car with it, but for machines like this project they can work fine. I really like mine. It's like the difference between a stick welder and a TIG.
I like it! The old timey music was a perfect ending to the video. Took me back 60 years in going by Subecks machine works in my old home town. The huge stable door would be open in the summer, a long rope stretched across the open door so you wouldn’t get in the way. But I remember it like it was yesterday, thanks for the trip down memory lane 😁
I really like the way you designed and made this project. Roller bearing guides are a big improvement over the cheaper Craftsman parts and should serve you well.
Fantastic job. Glad I watched this as I am just making a router circle cutting jig (the type where a round base plate rotates between 3 bearings on a sub base) and am not completely happy with the bearings being held eccentric by being clamped to an undersized bolt, using a nut and washer. Now I got to figure out how to use some eccentric bearing holders like yours. Thanks.
That was a lot of work on the guides, they turned out great. Don't do anything with the trunnion for a while, something will dawn on you, maybe a notch in the trunnion with the table tilted. How often would you want to take it off anyway? What kind of shafting were you able to get?
Winky, I was watching one of your videos awhile back and you mentioned that you used a product that retained gib adjusting screws, I believe it was a paste. I have tried to find that video so I could order some of that product. Would be so kind to provide me with what the name of that product is? Thanks
I think they might call this “Steam Punk”. Great job as usual. Maybe Art-deco on Steroids!!, yea that’s a better description. First Class job. Thanks for bringing us along.
2 little things about that great job. First you listened to me and put something perfect between the baseball blades, you put a cylinder with 2 screws, perfect, perfect, Another thing, I don't see the larger bearing at the top, it could push the belt out. Danger. Danger.

Sound interesting, I'll take a look at them @@richardgreen7811
Hi Mark. Stellar work. The saw looks so beautiful. Well done. 👏👏👍😀
Thank you so much 😀
I like it too Mark. Another Craftsman saw Restored by a great Craftsman. KO-KO
Haha... thanks. 😊
Very nice! I love the mechanical look of the exposed belt drive.
I do too, thanks!
Very good progress. As you said, a LOT of work to make the lower guide, but it will be worth it, so much better than a piece of wood.
Dave.
I totally agree, thanks
Oh I love it! That looks so much ‘of its time’ and yet practical for your intended purpose. Great job! Thanks Mark. Les in UK 🇬🇧
Thanks Les!
As usual a work of engineering art!! Nice job Mark, looks so nice.
Many thanks!

Sounds like good memories! Thanks!
Nice work all around. Very pleasing to the eye as well.👍
Thanks, flat belts look great I think
I really like the way you designed and made this project. Roller bearing guides are a big improvement over the cheaper Craftsman parts and should serve you well.
Thank you very much! I think so too
Hello Winky, looking really good, thanks for sharing another video with us all, much appreciated, cheers from me. 😷👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Me!
So fun to see the progress! That stand is going to be beautiful! I can't wait for next week's episode.
Thanks
Very nice, it's like a old movie projector, looking forward to the stand build.
True, thanks
Really looking good Mark, and nice design on the blade guide system.
That base is going to be awesome 👍👍
Thanks 👍 So far it is working well.
Hello Mark,
Nicely done. An enjoyable video, thank you.
Take care.
Paul,,
Thanks Paul!
Looks good great project. Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.
Thanks, will do!
As always, great production!
Much appreciated! Thanks Dan
Great job on the bearing carrier. It may have been a lot of work but it came out awesome. 👏
Thanks
Most excellent, love the flat belts
Cheers
Many thanks!
Good idea to make a blade guide. That will work much better.
For sure! thanks

Cool... yeah eccentrics are very handy and usually easy to make
Very good, it looks like it came from the factory like that.
Thanks, hopefully it holds up well.
Another nice build from winky’s workshop
I love these old machines, thanks!
Thank you for another amazing video.
Thanks you for watching!
Very pretty saw.... 👍👍👍
Hello Don, yeah, probably a little extreme but it was fun.
Great job looks nice.
Thanks 👍
excellent job as usual. Form & function.
Thank you very much!
Very nice Mark!
Glad you liked it! Thanks
Good video,Mark.Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
It looks perfect!
Thank You!
Nice work as always. :)
Thanks
Now, I'm really looking forward to the "Art Deco" stand.
Thanks, me too

I agree, I never take the table off so not a big deal. Thanks.
Your saw sure sounds funny! (:
Funny... yep, thanks
I like the lower blade guide. Nice work. As far as fit? I will take luck any day!
Thanks!
Looks amazing! How about a metal blade and a sample cut in the next video? Thanks Winky.
I have two more videos finished, I was waiting on the blades but it does get tested. A few glitches but in the end it works perfect.
Great job. It gives me inspiration to do that to my Delta one day.
Big question, how does it cut?
I'm two videos ahead so I can say, fantastic. But watch the next two, I made a couple changes

That was a long time ago! Vibra tite VC-3 amzn.to/45cXLQ2

Great Maschine!
Thanks!
Nice Job,👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Nice work Mr Winky 👴🏻👍
Thank you!
It's beautiful without a belt guard !
Agree... I might put a guard on it for the operator side anyway.
I like it too!
Thanks
I have found that primer, including the self etching works better with just a mist coat and no more.
I still use it sometimes but not the self etching. I use the gray automotive primer because it fills.
Geniales Projekt!!!👍👍👍
Ha,, thanks

Steampunk works well too. Thanks

Another thing, I don't see the larger bearing at the top, it could push the belt out. Danger. Danger.
The upper is guided by hardened pins sliding on the blade (original).
I might just have to convert one of my wood saws over to metal. 🤔
Finish watching these videos, I ran into a snag - it works well now but I had to make changes.
