- Hello!
Yes, it’s been a while hasn’t it?
You’d have thought that with three months of lockdown production at Things Towers would have been off the chart... but you’d be wrong 🤣. Sorry about that... but to the order of business.
I’ve had this lump or iron and aluminium knocking about in my workshop since last summer. As part of The Quest for Space, it’s time to get this thing running and out the way (oh, and a useful addition to the workshop as well)
Thanks to Oli for going to get this tools for me.

Thanks to Tim for supplying the switch and the lower guide bearing - the astute viewer will notice it doesn’t have a lower guide bearing... apparently it’s on the way - and electrical assistance.

Go and follow all these fine folks.
No music in this one. I’m trying something new.
Don’t forget to like and subscribe if you like this video. Hopefully there will be more videos coming along sooner rather than another two month wait.

Extremely satisfying! Always love when one of your videos pops up in my feed
😁 Thank you TJ. I try to get one out at least every three months...
Lovely machine, my kind of restoration 👍👍
Thanks Sparky! Just enough to get it going, although I still need to replace the oil bushings, so they'll get done when they arrive.
Phil do you mean you will replace them with updated bearing's?
No bearings on this, just oil filled bronze bushes which are a little sloppy, so they need pulling out and new ones pressed in. Top ones are a fairly standard size but the bottom ones I’m sending to a friend who’s going to machine them down to the right size.
Ok, thanks Phil 👍
Lovely video. Just the right amount of work to bring it back to life. Looking at your workshop you are where I want to be in a couple of years ( I see many of the same tools!). Though I’m restricted by my 8x10’ shed that also has all the gardening stuff it.
Looks like that throat guard took one for the team.
Nice job.
I was going to fill it with milliput and paint it, but it's part of the machines history, so I left it (not becuase thats more work and I wanted this thing finished and out the way... not at all) 😉
Enjoyed this Phil! Great work, pleased you didn’t polish the living hell out of it! Nice little band saw!
Powerful wiping action!
Try Tuff Saws on 07896 058499 or 01443 819261, lovely Welsh guy, he cut any blade/tooth/length configuration you need for your newest acquisition!
I don’t have the tools to do a proper full respray and factory restoration so this was the plan really. Just enough to get it going sweet.
Thankfully the guy that sold it had two brand new Tuffsaws blades ready to go, so it’s got a new blade and a fresh spare ready to. Yeah, it’s a neat little thing and runs pretty well considering it’s 75 years old, or there abouts. 👍👍
Nice job Phil good to see a bit of kit get back working 👍 the saw is great too 😉
You done it justice. 👍
John Made it Thank you very much.
So crazy we put out such similar videos on the same day, working on such similar machines! Watching yours was like watching an alternate universe version of my video lol! Great job dude you got a new subscriber!!
Thanks for watching 😁 I’ve literally just been watching your video...
Nice (not a) restoration! 🤔😄👍🏻
Thank you very much 👍
Hi, thanks for the video.
What is its modell number? I'd like to find out the type/size of the (wheel-) bearings...
Thanks in advance.
AB
I don’t know the model number other than it’s a 10” machine. There aren’t any bearings - they’re 1/2 x 5/8th oil filled bronze bushings.
@@PhilMakesThings thanks Phil.
If everything goes well i'll pick up one (saw) later today! 🤞
Cheers
Finally i did not pick up the one i mentioned...
Been disappointed a bit...so i stick to my good ol' Whitehead friend...
Great video where did you get the tires I'm looking for a set thanks
Thank you! Oooo. They’re Charnwood branded but if I recall I ordered them from Yandles (they’re an odd size these days but Charnwood still make them). Thanks for watching 👍
Looks like a nice DiRestoration :)
