Antique Drag Saw [Restoration] - Part 2

Comments

Erich Keane

Thats awful news about this being the last narrated video. These narrated videos are kind of the only perk on Patreon.

Insane right there in the membrane! Wow. Nice work. Would love to see a video of it cutting through a suitable, non-moving log Here with my unnecessarily prominent adjustable wrench that Canada Post managed to get to the USA in reasonable time (Saskatoon -> Vancouver -> SFO -> OKC ...) looking for things that need tightening.

Peter Laws

I took it to mean that he was going to release these two to the unwashed masses but that going forward, the plebes would only get the silent ones as it was before. HTR can speak for himself, of course. :-) I usually end up watching both versions. And I usually watch the silent ones first. :-)

Nice work! I met a US army general in Alabama recently, and he had a brass accent.

Erich Keane

I didn't realize that the non-supporters were getting narrated videos! I actually only end up watching the narrated ones, the descriptions of everything that is going on and his reasoning of things is fantastic. HTR, please say you'll continue the narrated ones for us :)

Where my facepalm at?

Erich Keane

My one regret here is that i can 'heart' that comment only once!

Master of None

Safety..Safety??? You don't need no freaking Safety. Don't stick your fingers in there if ya don't want to loose them isn't that all the safety you need?

Marshall Horton

Man that was fucking crazy. I love how you just yell louder into your mic instead of turning the levels down when that engine kicked over lol.

This thing is totally ridiculous. All those moving Parts, some of them near the speed control... But great to see it runs and works as it was designed. I wonder, how many men got injured using these machines back in the days. Great work and great choice not to color this whole thing, imho.

I'm still excited! Plus, I'm not going to tone down how very loud this thing is.

Would have watched this in a 10 part video! Well done, that slow motion shot was amazing. My Grandfather was a proper old school, six fingered lumberjack, I can picture him cursing this machine in french, and loving it. Fantastic restoration.

Brian Myers

Man, when you were cutting that thick elm I could almost hear your tools crying for their own rescue.

Bukka

Well this thing certainly explains the lower expected lifespan back in the day.

13:25 DEATH MACHINE!!! Holy crap! Can you imagine something like that made today!?

Stephen Boots

Love it! What an insane machine!

Daniel F. Iyama-Kurtycz

When he flipped the flywheel I got shivers, and wondered if we were going to call him lefty!

Christopher Woolley

Very nice machine of death. This video moves into the top 5 of my favs , I hope you have or keep finding and rescuing these implements of death and beauty

ChuckD

And we appreciate you too HTR... as a mechanic. Not a woodworker.

I really need to up my log game next time I use it for sure.

handtoolrescue

I would have loved to do 10-parts but then it's just a drag saw channel, haha

1:58 - dawg...you gotta shore up that bench. great job

TraumaER

High level of worry cringe when you were fiddling with the speed. Fun watch as always.

louis ross

Don't wear a tie while operating this machine!

Victor Au

That’s scary...😱

Anders Franzen

Excellent video. The most terrifying contraption I ever saw was a rotating log splitter probably from early 1900s at the neighbor farmer's place in the north of Sweden. This thing wouldn't give you a bruise, it would rip your @#$%& arm off... It was a 4-5ft flywheel with axe heads welded on to it...

Bill Nemetz and Yellowdog (Dave)

You really sounded "up" in this video. Like you have a little bounce in your step. Super cool video, thanks for sharing! ATB, Bill

Don H.

When you started sawing I was laughing while simultaneously yelling at my TV begging you to stop before you sawed yourself in half. Thanks for listening to me.
