I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

It is a 14" saw. The blade that is on it is a 12". It was built by a company called Construction Equipment Co. from Waterloo, Iowa. It is my understanding that they went out of business in 1967. Unfortunately, they left no records. It has a serial number. The company made a lot of hoist, concrete mixers and pumps. I can date the motor from 1941 until 1957. The colors are as close as I can get. I color matched from small pieces that had a little paint left on them. I also have a sales brochure that shows the saw in it. They also made a smaller version and a larger 20" version that had a 16hp, four cylinder motor. This one is rated at 8.4 hp @ 3600 rpm. The saw weighs around 750 lbs.(not exactly portable). Wisconsin could not supply parts, so I went to ebay and found almost everything. I had to purchase a replacement carburetor since it did not have one with it. The arbor is 1 1/8". The top is black paint. It had a fence and miter gauge which I do not have. The guard was an option. The miter gauge bolted to the top. When the foot pedal was pushed the blade came up and cut the wood. It was a fun project. Next project will be a early 1900's Crescent bandsaw.

Here's one, from Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House (1949). Presumably, temporary power to job sites wasn't a common thing back then, but it predates me, so I can't speak from experience. But the carpenters are sawing by hand during the framing segments in the movie. My arm gets tired just watching them.

VERY WELL done! Museum quality!
Enjoyed seeing the restore and especially of the Wisconsin engine
