Great to see an old tool being used rather than just "collected"
"Tough if you don't like it!" LoL Great video thanks for sharing your love of old tools.
That quote is what made me like and subscribe.
I love your restore videos. I insist you restore every old tool possible.
Wow what a great find. Nice job on the restoration. 🇨🇦
Amazing find. Way to bring it back to life.
Beautiful! It's far better to see antiques returned to use than stuffed and mounted in a static display.
Anyone that doesnt like the way you did this is crazy. Its beautiful!
Congratulation on a proper restoration of this amazing tool! So important not only to preserve it but return its usefulness rather than, just another decretive artifact. Now it will likely have interest to future generations and not be tossed. Bravo!!👏
Both use and ornament! Lovely job!
Very cool. There's nothing like vintage cast iron tools. So beautiful.
Dude! I'm so frickin jealous. This is awesome! I just want to wish you the very best of luck with your velocipede scroll saw.
Thank God! Finally someone who restores things like I would! Doesn’t use a crescent wrench for a hammer, no body filler, and doesn’t give a damn about casting marks! Thank you!
These old tools were meant to be used - not just sat in the corner looking good and collecting dust.
Great work on this restore. Not a single thing I would have done differently given the opportunity.
Thank you for keeping our woodworking heritage alive and working. Beautiful and thanks for keeping that spray paint on the shelf!
It is wonderful that this old classic scroll saw works very well. With your repair it would be used next 200 years again.
GREAT VIDEO THANK YOU. YOU DID A GREAT JOB ON REDOING THIS OLD SAW I AM SO PROUD OF YOU FOR THIS VIDEO AND FOR STEVE GOOD POSTING THIS. THANKS AGAIN
I’m just glad this didn’t end up in a museum and collectors. Tools should always remain with users. Cheers
Great project. I enjoy seeing old tools cleaned up and put back to work.
Hello. This video may be 3 years old, but I just saw it today for the first time. Referred here by Steve Good of the Scrollsaw Workshop. I want to compliment you on this video. It was very enjoyable from beginning to end. The speed-up of the restoration process was at just right speed, and your voice-over was excellent: Enough detail to be interesting and explain what you were doing, and your voice was clear and understandable. (I mention these qualities because so many CZcams videos are clearly lacking in these areas.) In my opinion, restoring an old tool with the intention to use it is equally as satisfying to the viewer as watching someone restore a tool to museum-quality, so good for you for saving it from the landfill ! It would appear I have at least three years of videos to catch up on, so I'd better get started. I don't know what to expect except to say you set the bar high with this one so I am expecting more of the same. I wish you well.
How brilliant were our distant ancestors, I wish I had half of their grit and get up and go
Wow! That was awesome! Imagine the history that saw has went through....
Thank you for preserving our history
That is so cool! I work for a power tool company and spend my days discussing the latest and greatest. It is always fun to take a look back in time.
Wouldn't it be amazing to be able to go back and interview the person who made this. Ask them how long they expected this tool to remain functional and then tell them how long it actually lasted. They'd be amazed to see it in us 150-ish years later.
You know, tools from before the age of mass manufacturing were built for the extreme long haul, and concepts like interchangeability had only just made their way into firearms technology for the Civil War, let alone planned obsolescence. 17th Century and earlier books on woodworking show Joseph and Jesus using tools from the author's era: I think the big surprise would be how niche this sort of tool has become.
Dynamite restoration! Glad it is not just for display but is being used. Many thanks.
Chris, that saw is pretty cool. I have a couple old machines, not as many as I would like. Wood and metal working either or, restoring them make great winter projects.
That is a proper restoration dude. It still shows signs of honest work and a long life. I dislike it when people restore things so they look brand new. I hope you get many years of use from it. Well doe!
I hope you will do more videos with this saw!
Fantastic!! Thank-you for keeping these old tools alive for the next generation.
Great machine! Works fine. Good job 💪
A wonderful hobby machine, it's a pity that they don't produce these now!))))
Beautiful machine! And nice restoration! What better way to honor it to bring it back to working order and not worrying about making it a “show piece”. Cool project!
thanks buddy! I dont have enough time or skill to bring things back to show pieces. Id rather use them any day
Third Coast Craftsman the Dad life is real! Gotta keep a good balance🤠
Great job. The only thing I would have done differently is when I put the small pulley on, I would have looked over at the bench and saw that I forgot to put the belt on.
Timothy Ball lol too true my dude
Nicely done. I'm glad to see you didn't take the restoration too far. All that old patina tells 150 years of story's. I like restoring the old Stanly hand planes, and I kick myself for painting one. These old tools look great with just a little clean up, and love. Thanks for sharing.
That thing is AWESOME! Great working in restoring it to working order.
Nice work on this restoration.
Thanks my friend for bringing an old amazing tool back to life. Great job.
Thanks Chris for the Poster and Sticker you're the best
My pleasure bud
I feel like you would do an amazing job building cabinets. Hopefully in the future you can make a video of building cabinets
I restore antiques for a living, some 26 years in the art, and i have no problem with what you have done. Great job.
Awesome, glad to hear it!
Man, if I had room for it, I would have gotten one of those ages ago. Too cool.
I'm in awe because of the sounds it makes. It feels so pleasant compared to power tools sounds.
I watch a lot of makers on CZcams and the quality of your work and unwavering approach to more classic tools is humbling. I love seeing you pull out the traditional hand-tools and just going to town, it's just amazing and this is yet another tool in your arsenal that i look forward to seeing in future projects.
Thanks so much, I really appreciate that and am glad you enjoy my approach! You are going to really like my video next week where I build a really cool jewelry box with majority hand tools
This is the best old tool restoration I've seen so far on CZcams.
I never knew such a saw existed. Great work on it and thanks for sharing.
It's a beautiful scroll saw. I'm so happy for you. I can't wait to see it in your new shop.
I love the slow down of each part of the saw at the end. Awesome
I love to see tools being restored for use rather than to be some sort of display piece.
LOL, you know a product must work well when a woodworker willingly coats his table saw in glue just to demonstrate removing it! Great Content Chris, love the channel!
Nice work love it you did a fantastic job on restoring it
Absolutely beautiful! Definitely something to cherish and pass down to your son.
What an incredibly satisfying restoration to watch, and then to see you use the saw! Love the rhythm of it
I love the "tuff if you don't like it " lol Love your channel keep up the great work.
Thanks man I appreciate that!
Wish I could find some of these old tools!!! Hell, I almost want to build them again. Get people working and get in shape!
You start building those tools, and I'll be your first customer! I love that idea of pedal power on "modern" tools. I'd suggest one modification... Have the pedal components come off the back, so we can make our children work for their meals! LOL!
Well done. I like how you did this resto and it came out great.
Fantastic restoration and great job preserving its history while also ensuring it's much longer use.
This is absolutely the way of restoration that I would have chosen, too. You can still see the age of the saw, you can see that it's designed and made for work.
Looks like it works like a charm. So good that you keep it working instead of putting it into a museum.
Thank you. Totally agree
Pretty cool piece of history to get your hands on. Looks awesome
Fantastic item first one I've ever seen, nice simple restoration. Youll have fun using this one!
Very nicely done really glad to see it is going to get used an not displayed tools were meant to used
Very cool. I wish they still made these. It would be a great way to get more shop time in lockdown by letting me get my workout in at the same time!
Awesome work Chris! 😃👌🏻👍🏻👊🏻
Honey, going in the shop to exercise... nice job.
Great tool. It looks like it works very easily.
OMG dude! That was so fantastic! What a great find and purchase.
Congratulations on having such wonderful tool.
You deserve it man!
Many many decades of use to come!
Nice restoration of a unique tool. I wonder if the gentlemen who put it together the first time all those years ago ever thought that it would still be in use in their great-great grandchildren’s time.
Hi Chris...man, I can't tell you how much I loved this one. Not only 3M is a dream partner (congrats for that!), but the restoration was tasteful, you've managed to keep the soul of the machine while still bringing it back to life. Seeing you tightening those old screws on the top was a bit of a nail biter, I was kind of expecting them to fail, but I'm glad they didn't. Really awesome job, looking forward to see you using it in the upcoming projects! Cheers
Yes! I like this - by bringing this back to life as a working tool, it'll gain a whole other generation of history and patina that only adds to its story. A much more satisfying fate than being some unused show-piece. ALSO - awesome doggo! We need more 'Oots'.
This restoration instantly took me back to my Grandpop’s shop. Such great memories. Thanks for the Rad video!
That looks like a lot of fun! Great job breathing new life into it. It was nostalgic seeing you use the toothpicks. I remember as a boy my dad showing me how to use elmers glue and tooth picks to fill stripped screw holes.
Thanks brother, you can take it for a ride when you come visit!
It looks like a ton of fun👍😁
Thanks for sharing it!
Wow cool find! Thank you for showing how you brought this machine back to life! Great job!
What a treasure!! A couple of thoughts. A wire brush to remove surface rust, then "season" it like cast iron cookware. Once seasoned, then the BLO sealer. And for the wood, I once heard (for BLO finishing): one coat per day for a week, one coat a week for a month, one coat a month for a year, and then one coat annually. You didn't show it, but, hope you greased the axles and pivot points. For the leather belt, I think I'd've done a saddle soap cleaning prior to a liquid leather conditioner (like Bick 4) and then the beeswax based finish. Amazing to've found the belt still in serviceable condition!
I love that you restore this to use. Awesome stuff Chris!
Wow. That saw is in great shape. I'm so envious. Nice restoration, and a great tool to have in your shop.
Talk about bringing a tear to my eye! I had a saw identical to this when I was a kid (60's). My dad let it go with the property when he sold it around 1969. I have spent hundreds of hours making stuff on it. Now when i see one I just weep. It was my favorite tool. Thanks for restoring this beauty. Congrats on your lucky find!
Sorry to hear you weren’t able to keep it.
Mate that is bloody brilliant!
Now the thing I am waiting on is for Chris to use this as a pattern and design and build one out of wood and bicycle parts and sell the plans
hip hip hooray, brother. 100%wonderful.
Quel magnifique outil ! Bravo (de France) pour cette rénovation extraordinaire ! ! !
I can only imagine how satisfying this must be. Excellent work! I cant wait to find one for myself someday.
Excellent video! I firmly believe that tools have souls and that they deserve to be used, regardless of their age, to produce what they were intended to produce. To rebuild and to use a tool like this scroll saw is to honor its spirit and give it continued life. Thank you so much for sharing this process. Take care and stay well.
Great buy Chris, now you can get your quarantine cardio in too. Love it!
Beautiful piece!
Nice work!
Good to see Utz back!
:)
Many thanks
Wow! what a cool saw. I would love to own one of these.
Such a fascinating machine! Love this video. Thanks for making it!
Really cool mate. Absolutely stoked watching you restore that piece of history.
Very cool, I like how you filled holes with epoxy and toothpicks good idea, now you can get a work out while working
Great video, nice to see how you restored a nice piece of history! Keep going!!
Eine wunderschöne Maschine und von Dir ganz toll restauriert. Die Säge wäre sicher ein Hingucker in jedem Tischlermuseum.
A beautiful machine and very well restored by you. The saw would certainly be an eye-catcher in every carpenter's museum.
Useful video, Chris! Great idea! I like the restoration you did.
I think you did a really good job restoring the scroll saw, I do scroll saw work myself and I'm subscribed to Steve goods newsletter and the newsletter he sent out this morning mentioned you restoring this saw, you may know who Steve goods is but he is one of the best scrollers out there and he also makes patterns
What a beautiful tool!
Congrats on winning that auction and the great restauration! :-)
That is so beautiful. I live to see and hear things like that. Glad it's being put to good use just like it was meant to be.
What a magnificent machine
Don't apologize for restoring old tools your way. You bought it, it's yours. If someone doesn't like it then they should have out bid you. It's my personal belief that a tool was made to be used no matter how old it is. (safety concerns excepted) I've been enjoying your videos since I found them. Keep up the good work.
Brilliant work brother. She looks like she cuts well. Also, (not my place to say), but recognizing 3M as a sponsor was done in an extremely tasteful way. Was useful, relevant, and of value to us as viewers. Well done brother.
Thanks bud. I appreciate the kind words.
@@ThirdCoastCraftsman Always brother. Midwesterners stick together!
Great job. Work great. Have the top half of one branded Trump
This is the most satisfying video I’ve watched. I’m the biggest fan of old tools. They were definitely made to last forever with proper care…that’s why they were so beautiful to look at. Definitely something to be proud of! Great job bringing that old girl back to life. 👍🏻👍🏻
Amazing restoration! Gotta love bringing old tools back to life. In your video about making breadboard ends, you mentioned that your 3/8" hand drill auger bit made holes that were too sloppy to use. I have an extra 3/8" Russell Jennings bit that is basically brand new if you're interested, I'd send it to you. Thanks for taking the time to record and share your work!
Love it! I’m jealous and want one!!!
I love this! I’m in the process of restoring for use a treadle sewing machine. Thanks for posting your work.
