    Delta 890 14" Band Saw

    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.

    Delta 890 14" Band Saw

    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.

    Storage shed layout help

    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

    Storage shed layout help

    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...

    Storage shed layout help

    If I go bigger I need to get a surveyor in, draw up plans, get then reviewed and approved by the building dept and then multiple inspections and pay higher taxes. An if the survey shows anything on the property that is not currently on the original plans then it becomes a big mess. I have gone...

    Storage shed layout help

    In my town I can put up as many 144sq ft sheds as I want without a permit. Anything bigger than 144sq ft requires permits and higher property taxes. I am planning on a new shed to be able to empty some stuff out of my garage to make it more useable. Thinking of either moving my boat, kayaks...

    Delta Rockwell 17-600

    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.

    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.

    Delta Rockwell 17-600

    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...
