- Hey everyone, my name is Matt.
Welcome back to my workshop,
setup, vlog, thingy-ma-bobber.
This time we're starting somewhere else
at a different shop.
So a viewer named Al
got this thing for me.
It is a big bandsaw,
which we'll take a look at
in a second.
If you have been following
Steve Summers channel,
it's one of the channels
I follow for machining,
he's been redoing his shop space thing,
like he had a wall fall out
and he's been fixing that.
He has a buddy named Al
I have the same buddy,
who's also named Al.
(laughing)
So we're going to be
loading this thing up today.
I'm going to try and bring it
over to the warehouse space
and have it, have somewhere to go.
So the, a little bit of
backstory on this thing.
So Al is a kind of into auctions.
And yeah, there's been an auction listing
that was for a pair of bandsaws.
You only need one, and
that was two years ago,
so he said, "Matt, I
got this bandsaw for you
and I will keep it here until
you have somewhere to put it."
That was two years ago, I
finally have somewhere to put it.
I really don't have a use for it yet,
but at least we can
get it out of his space
so he has a little more
room for other stuff.
So, it is a 36 inch diameter bandsaw,
so it's got 36 inch wheels on it,
and an interesting thing with this style
is it has the bottom wheel set
up to go down into the floor,
so the table height isn't quite as high.
So the full height on
thing is, eight foot ten,
top to bottom.
We'll take a closer look at it in second.
We're gonna try and get the
thing down onto my trailer.
(forklift beeping)
I can't get close enough with the truck,
So we're gonna try and
get this thing outta here.
The issue is this lip
on the concrete here.
Well it's off the ground.
- [Al] Am I high enough?
- [Matt] Yeah, you got like, four inches.
- [Al] Pretty much on target?
- [Matt] You can come
this way, like, a hair.
Yeah, you're pretty good,
just come straight on in.
- [Al] We're good?
- [Matt] Yeah.
- [Al] Tell me when I'm high enough.
- [Matt] Like another inch, okay.
Yeah, that's plenty.
Okay, you're just getting
over the deck right now.
My paint!
(laughing)
- [Al] Sorry!
- [Matt] My trailer!
- [Al] Ahhh!
- [Matt] You're gonna dent my trailer!
(both laughing)
- [Al] I'm so sorry.
(Matt laughing)
I bought some paint stripper from Steve,
so I'll just get some
for you and I'll just
strip it down and paint it up for ya.
- [Matt] Oh perfect, thank you.
- [Al] You're welcome.
- All right, saw is all
loaded up and ready to go.
We're going to take a very leisurely drive
over to the warehouse.
Okay, here we are back at the warehouse,
a very long and not
eventful drive across town.
This needs to go in this door.
So we're going to be lifted
this thing onto the dock floor,
I'm going inside and then
moving it from there.
So this is a little, I'll be
honest, this is very top heavy,
so as this thing is moving,
I'll be strapping it
to the forklift because I'm
more worried about it falling
forward than anything else.
So, a lot of very gradual and
slow moves are ahead of me.
I think I'm going to leave a chain
until I get the forks underneath it.
Just so I don't knock it over by accident.
(laughing)
Oh boy.
Still getting used to
driving the forklift,
but having those adjustable forks is nice,
through the pallets on, pick it up
and bring it closer towards
the edge of the trailer.
Also now I can go ahead and unchain it.
(forklift beeping)
(forklift beeping)
Okay, I got it strapped in,
let's try and take this thing off of here.
(forklift beeping)
(metal shaking)
(forklift beeping)
(forklift beeping)
(forklift beeping)
Okay, the best place for
this thing is on the ground.
That was uh, I mean, it was pretty stable,
but it's kind of scary with
something still top heavy,
possibly, you know, tipping it over.
So let's take a quick, roll around here.
So let's, again, 36 inch diameter wheels.
So the blade here, you
can see it comes down here
and goes, like I said, up
here and goes down here.
So you got 36 inches between here.
This looks like it's the Resaw,
probably like two feet,
maybe 18 inches or something.
The motor on here,
I'm not, I can't see the tag,
it's covered by this guard thing.
So I'll pull it off at some
point and take a look at it,
but it looks like a 10 horsepower motor.
It's about the same size physically
as the one on my bandsaw mill.
That's a saw, it'll be
here for a little while.
I would like to clean it up
and see how it goes from there.
I don't know when I'm going to do that,
but at least it's here
and it's out of Al's way.
So thanks again, Al.
I appreciate the storage
of the saw for two years.
And because I forgot Tannewitz
is the brand name on there.
Pretty big.
Also, in case everyone's wondering about
why there's a bunch of like,
White Sox stickers on there.
This saw came from Chicago
or it lived in Chicago at
some point in its life.
So, it's got some stickers.
Anyway, while I was
getting this thing in here,
the next load of chair parts showed up.
So this is another hundred and,
think it was 150 chairs, 160 chairs,
so almost all the rest of
the pre-orders are here.
So if you order a number
three or number four,
or number five,
chances are, it's going
to be shipping very soon.
It's September 3rd today,
and I'll be shipping these on Saturday,
Will be shipping day, so,
that's this stuff.
So a little different,
picking up a bandsaw today
and not necessarily getting
the warehouse totally set up,
but, getting there.
Next time, the next little vlog thing,
I'm going to get the shipping
area prepped for chair kits.
So I'm thinking this
little line here will be
the packing line.
So working from left to right,
so when we get over here with the boxes,
they're in the aisle ready to
go down to the loading bay.
So I have a bunch of
shelving that's set up
for all of the packing
materials and all that.
There's some tables to bring in,
so we have somewhere to work.
And then, we'll start
packing those things.
So again, a big thank you everyone
for following along with this,
watching this kind of come
together and all that stuff.
It's, it's nice.
So thank you everybody
for all the support,
all of the warm wishes
as I build this thing.
(laughing)
this business thing.
So next time we'll do
some more set up stuff
and get the chair kits ready to go.
So thank you as always for watching,
I greatly appreciate it.
For any questions or comments
about the warehouse space,
anything back home,
anything on the sawmill,
or anything back in the shop,
please feel free to leave a comment.
As always I'd be happy
to answer any questions
you might have and until next time.
Half a worker.
