About 6 months ago I started restoring an old Roll-In Band Saw that had seen better days. I recorded the process and I thought I would share a short video on how I brought the old saw back to life with you. Below is that video.



Nice job man lil tip if you wanna use paint stripper the biggest problem with most stripper even gel is the chemicals start to evaporate and it doesn't work as well.  to stop this you can use stripper paper. if you don't wanna buy it or can't find it .you can use saran wrap or wax paper you just have to test it to see. apply the stripper then cover in paper then you just wait a lil bit this helps it work way better. I've done this plenty on delicate  wood and metal that's been painted over and over then someone decides they want it restored simply peel up a corner and scrape when it's ready the paint will be all wrinkled up and  scrape away with ease  then clean. I've taken of a ton of paint layers successfully this way  Thumbsup
you now have yourself an excellent saw. Good job.
