Tales from the shop

...Or the loafing shed since it was originally an animal shelter.

Finally got the band saw working without it throwing the blade (and rolling 50 yards). Had to get longer axle bolts and nylon locknuts.

Now I need to get real steel bearings for the back part of the blade because it's already eating at the Chinesium plastic rollers. H/D has what I can use in stock- finally.

It's moving faster than the wheels make it look.


And when you warp the threads on a nut from welding to a bolt, and don't have a thread chaser- you use abrasives.
