    Keith's series is the best restoration I've seen on YouTube.
  • @Shawn_speed
    Kieth is a true American hero. It’s such a pleasure seeing him acknowledged, specifically with that plaque Jimmy put on.
  • I highly recommend that those who have not watched Keith's videos on this restoration do so. Very thorough job.
  • @TexDrinkwater
    After watching all of Keith's restoration videos, it's great to see this mammoth bandsaw in its new home!
  • @aserta
    Between his own work and life, projects and everything, Keith laboured on this machine with his usual flair. Probably one of the best bandsaw restorations on YouTube to date. This is a very good bandsaw.
  • @hosshoffer7579
    I always find it incredible that the old engineers had an eye for design. That huge machine still looks graceful.
  • @arosenberger87
    Keith did an absolutely fabulous job restoring this. I've been watching him for years and this project was great to watch. Thank you for stepping up and saving this machine.

  • @RRINTHESHOP
    Keith did a wonderful job on the restore. Clarke does very nice casting work. You will love this saw.
  • @claygrigsby1280
    I watched every episode that he did on your restoration……. Exceptional work from Keith…….. His channel is how I found your channel and I binge watch both everyday…….. You both are exceptional artists and craftsmen!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • @DarbyJGeorge
    Thanks for keeping a great old piece of history alive!
  • @IsZomg
    I've been following Keith's restoration since 2021 and its great to finally see this machine in action! What a BEAST!
  • Thank you Jimmy for stepping up to save the Band Saw from the scrappers, and a huge Thank You to Keith for his expertise and skills in making a great restoration.
  • @FutopiaAD
    That groan when you put on the belt, and then that heartbeat “thump” of the belt when you fired it up. It was like a great beast waking from a long slumber
  • @knoest100
    The smile on your face is priceless when you cut for the first time 🫸🫷
  • @Paul-FrancisB
    Hooray 🎉 finally getting to see the "Jimmy Diresta bandsaw" in its new home. It will be strange seeing it without hearing Keith giving it it's proper introduction 😁
  • Was a pleasure to watch Keith restore this saw. Very sweet to see it complete in your shop. 😀😀😀
  • @hughbrian1118
    Visited Keith's shop in 2022. This saw was in primer and parts then. So cool to see it running in your shop now.
  • @schmails
    I love Keith’s channel. Been watching this build for years. Glad it’s finally in your shop Jimmy. Health and Happiness. ❤
  • @Ijs3677
    I have been following this restoration since it began and it’s so cool to see it finally at Jimmy’s and he is so happy - just like a big kid
