ok
This is awesome Chris! Great job!
Thanks my friend!
So jelley! I want!!
😄👍🏻
So old-school! Love it.
Thanks!
Oh yeah! Saturday morning chop with Chris. Thanks!
We all need a little distraction right now!
This is awesome. Unsolicited suggestion: bike parts. Specifically from the rear axle assembly of a 10 speed. Possibly use the chain drive so you can change gears to adjust speed of cut but definitely use the coast feature so the wheel will turn without you pumping the treadle. This way you can make precise cuts without it swaying or moving or even you moving unduly. Just pump it up to speed, coast, and cut. If you leave it as is it'll STILL be wonderful, though.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Awesome job. Loved the video and watched it with my soon-to-be seven year old daughter.
She pointed out though that you put your assistant out of a job with that foot pedal. I guess everyone is laying people off during quarantine...
😂😂😂
Hahaha!
Love it!
Thanks!
Amazing Chris, i love this project ❤️
Thanks!
was a band saw, now is a super band saw. exelente
👍🏻😄
Thanks for sharing that, fun things!
Thanks!
Hej Chris, You did a fine job to make this saw work! Transmissions working good as well!, enjoy the vid's
THANKS!
Always a good treat when one of your videos comes out
Thanks. I have many coming soon!
Great job Chris, thanks for sharing. Fred
You bet!
It's like that thing was made for you. Very satisfying
For sure!
The strength of inertia ! Well done !
Absolutely
Lot of work but you cracked it and its a very gren band saw to use in these troubled times, well done Chris.
Thanks!
Awesome man!!! You are an inspiration!!!! I love your videos and can’t wait to see this thing in action in more videos!!
Thanks!
I have to keep telling myself that I don't have space for something like this. You have me thinking of heading to a local flea market this weekend.
Good luck!
that was pretty awesome Chris!!!
Thanks!
Great build, big heavy perimeter weighted wheel really did it justice.
No doubt!
Its so awesome to see someone so dedicated to giving new life to old technology with as much excitement as you have. Very humbling to watch your videos thanks. Ive been tinkering around with steam engines and designing some shop equipment to be powered by steam. Its either going to be an awesome success or a spectacular failure. I dont see many people still working with steam in a shop setting. Its like that era of human advancement has been forgotten. Thanks again
Wow! Good luck with your project!!
I like how you rescued treadle parts from a table when most people go the other way. Good video cool project!
Thanks!
Very inspirational.
A true 1800 's Carpenter
Thank you!
Like a boss 👍 I'm French and I work in the sawmill, I love your videos
Merci! I used to live in Geneva and spent a lot of time in Blois, France. You have a beautiful country!
This is fantastic!!!
Thanks
Старые станки это супер. Лайк1
ok

😄👍🏻
Superb! What a great project!
Thank you!
Muito bom mesmo criatura um grande abraço e parabéns mais um inscrito
Obrigado e bem-vindo ao meu canal!
@@ChopWithChris valeu e sucesso pra vc abraços
With a flea market and junk yard that you have makes you one very lucky fellow!
No doubt!
Love it Chris. Great work.
Thank you!
@@ChopWithChris You're welcome.
That is fantastic. I love older machinery. I remember hand cranking an old shearing machine for the shepherd on the farm where i grew up to flatten the backs of the tups/rams ready for the farm shows. Love what your do.
That sounds like fun! or was it not very fun?
@@ChopWithChris i miss being on the farm and loved all the old machines and the physical work. Happiest days of my life till i moved out at 17.
I remember the same on my Grandpa’s farm
Brilliant!
Thanks!
Hey Chris, this is awesome! I liked it so much I’m going to ‘attempt’ to make one of my own so I’ve watched these two vids about a hundred times to keep myself right 😂. Really love the channel! Sending best wishes from Scotland.
Thanks and good luck!!
My man, excellent job and video!
Thanks!
Truly incredible! Making your own tools is becoming a slippery slow haha. Soon you will be buying a farm with a river and making a giant bandsaw mill powered by the river to mill your own trees all in your own hand-built workshop!
That’s on my bucket list!!
Chop essa máquina é magnífica!!!!
Obrigado!
This is amazing ! Ive always wanted to make a foot pedalled lathe. Yours is beautiful.
Thanks!
that is really cool. Not the ideal tool but it gets the job done. Perfect for those power outage storm days in the shop!
No doubt!
When you said it works o see your face so happy 😊
YES!!
@@ChopWithChris sal
SUWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!! Had a big grin the whole time.
I have a Silver No. 1 post drill waiting for a little TLC (its in really nice shape already) and to get my hand tool shop space built.
Cool! Good luck!
I love the honesty in your videos mate!! Really interesting and learn something new EVERY TIME! Please keep them coming🙂🙂👍
Thanks! More to come!
Super wheels very nice! I like fantastic! Tanks very match!
You are most welcome! 😄
I was looking up sewing machines... this is so awesome.
Thanks! I also used a sewing machine base to make a foot powered reciprocating saw.
Excelent!!!!! 👏👏👏👏
:). Thanks
Que projeto maravilhoso, parabéns ganhou um inscrito parabéns,,🇧🇷
Obrigado!
Fantástico.
Excelente.
Parabéns.
Obrigado
Fantastic !!!
Thanks!
Excelente adaptación.
👍🏻💪
Awesome!
Thank you!
When I saw you starting in on that old saw I thought uh oh this is going to be one of those let's "restore" this lovely old tool by removing all it's history and patina and ruin it type deals. But no, just the opposite. It's like the spirit of the original builder was somehow passed down to you. Wonderful stuff.
Thanks! This was an amazing project!
I wish I had one of those parts bins!!!! They’ve gotten crazy expensive of late!
No doubt!
Awesome!!
💪👍🏻
yeah sick
No doubt!
Very cool,let me think about how most of these machines operated back in the day
Thanks.
Awesome mate. 👌
Thanks!
Very neat!
Thanks!
Hola me gusta tu trabajo admiro tu trabajo
Gracias!
просто красавчек🖒🖒🖒
Спасибо!
Muito bom, parabéns!
Obrigado
Wonderful! I wish to find an antique one myself
Good luck!
@@ChopWithChris Thank you ^_^ Here where I live, I need more then luck! Maybe I'll try using the 'bicycle peaces' idea. Here I saw good comments about it.
👍🏻
Its amazing!!!
Thanks!
I think it awesome!!!
Thanks!
Brilliant presentation with the use of fast forwards and normal speeds to capture every detail. Change the size of the flywheel to suit the thicknesa of the timber priceless. This guy puts shaky hand held phone captured videos in the rubbish bin where they belong. When there is an Oscar for You Tube Videos This is number one on the list.
Wow! Thanks. I take a lot of pride on my videos
Gets the job done 👍
💪😄
Genial, herramientas sin necesidad de electricidad
Gracias!
I'd have been tempted to get one of those mahoosive gears to use as the flywheel.
***hour later the saw finally stops***
Super cheap way to do it. Great idea!
Good job, bro!
Thanks!
Nice saw
Thanks!
Safety advice! On this really cool flywheel, you might want to consider adding wood, glass, or plastic inserts inside the open spaces in each wheel. Those gears and the flywheel move very fast and with a lot of force. It's a very good idea to prevent yourself (and everyone else) from breaking their fingers by accidentally putting them between those spinning bars.
Stay safe!
Great idea!
@@ChopWithChris I'm just happy to pass along some advice I got myself. Stay safe out there. This is a really exciting restoration.
Nice transformation. Would love to shop at flywheel store. What a goldmine.
No doubt!
Oh wow friend this is good
Thanks!
Cool!
:)
What a cool bit of kit, great job. Loved the drill too. Best of all is no music so you can hear all the shop sounds 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@ChopWithChris I did thank you.
Nice repower :-) that heavier flywheel definitely made a difference
Thanks. I love it!
Bravo !!
💪👍🏻
O resultado foi excelente!!!
Mas eu prefiro uma eletrica!!!
Parabéns, linda maquina!!!
👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Obrigado!
How cool done well shaggy
Thanks!
You are so creative and do a super good job as a 'craftsman', you have my respect and recognition. It's one of my favorite channels. Best regards from Germany.
Danke!
Amaysing, good boy .
Thanks!
Good work Done 👍
Thanks
Wondefull job!!!
Thanks!
Obrigado
Hell of a lot better than the hand wheel without any flywheel😉
For sure!
Красавчик 👍👍👍
Спасибо!
too cool ,
Thanks.
Your cool in my book
Thanks!
Nice!
👍🏻
Una maravilla 😊de Díez
👍🏻😄
Sympathetic yet pragmatic restoration very nicely done . New sub here...........Cheers
Thanks and welcome!
I've watched this twice now and am amazed and how clever you are in not only putting this back to functional use but also increasing the RPMs with the gear changes. With respects to the gear changes...how do you determine that the teeth on two separate gears will mate up, is it trial and error or is it obvious once looking at them? thansk...
It was a lucky find for 3 gears that matched up.

Спасибо!
Very well done and great video. :)
You may want to add a couple of T-slots and a fence too.
(the T-slot will be very helpful if you need to use a circle-cutting-jig).
There are so many advantages in having human-powered tools, including ...
Less noise, works if there's a power outage, does not add to the electricity bill and gives good workout.
-Plus an electrical powered bandsaw is much more dangerous than a human-powered one, because if you have an accident, the human-powered one stops, whereas the other one doesn't.
Your video makes me think I might even be able to build a bandsaw from scratch.
Wow! Thanks for the suggestions and good luck if you build one!
nice work
Thanks!
Amazing job, Chris. Alive and improved band saw. Please, do you know the year it was made? Enjoy your machine and thanks for sharing.
Thanks. There were no markings on it so no idea the year.
@@ChopWithChris I did a quick search on Google and I found a foot powered bandsaw similar of yours. It was a 1892 Marston's bandsaw. The basic difference between them is Marston's is all made out iron or steel. So, I think yours is older, because it has some wooden parts. You have a treasure. www.woodcraft.com/blog_entries/antique-tool-market-crescent-muscle-machine
This is amazing! I need one of these. And I need that pillar drill too. How can I find this stuff? More must have been built. Can I build it out of wood?
The band saw was custom made by some woodworking before 1900 likely. The post drills can be found at farm auctions, eBay, and Craigslist. Good luck!!
I,m brasileiro,,,,Very good i,s machine
Obrigado!
Are you going to glue up the table and flatten it?
I should
You'll have legs like Usain Bolt if you use that saw all summer. Nice job.
Just one side though so I may walk in circles.
@@ChopWithChris lol
love the tripling of the speed! are the gears from an old lathe?
Thanks. I collected the gears at flea markets and antique shops over the years.
