The motor lives on to spin another 75 years. I replaced both bearings and the start capacitor. Once I cleaned out the centrifugal switch she spun to life on her own. Phase one complete.

I picked up a Delta Band Saw off Facebook Marketplace a couple days ago for 80 bucks. From the old catalogs it seems I paid less than the 1943 price with the options it has, like the belt guard, stand and motor. The serial number, 22-1069, dates to 1943. It has an open stand, which I believe...

My son and I both use these. The best over the glasses I have found thus far. We use them both in the shop and at the range.

End result. 10x17 harbor freight portable garage 2x6 PT framed floor 3/4 PT plywood deck Larger storage space, no permit needed, no property tax increase. Cost was about 550.00. Cheaper than a framed shed. When the cover needs replacing I will just by another for under 200 bucks. If it last...

I can't pour a slab, that is considered permanent and I would get taxed on it. I can only do framed on piers, pavers or gravel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

my largest kayak is almost 14' long. I am not sure about a height restriction but I don't want a 20' tall shed in my back yard. Wifey might get a little upset at that one. Lol Yes. The only way around the 144sq ft rule would be to put up one of those "temporary" canvas style garages. Then...

Thanks Dave and Packard

Used it for the first time yesterday. Man, what a difference from that little piece of **** I had before. This one is so smooth and so quiet. I drilled a 3/8" hole through the 3 1/2" side of 6 2x4s for a project for my RV.

Finally finished!. Only 1 minor issue. The top cover seems to be about 1/4" too far forward. See below. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tom, Thank you for the JB Weld suggestion. I did get the remaining parts painted over the weekend. I hope to get the press finished this week.

After some cold rain and snow, fun filled weekends, work and family errands I had some time today to continue on this project. The final step is in progress. I stripped the hood and all its hardware this morning. It is hanging in the garage after a coat of primer. I have something to do...
