I am trying something new with this post. I am experimenting with posting larger pictures. So if you all are unable to see these please let me know. With the old girl starting to get near completion and time to kill waiting for the switch to show up. I decided to clean up the sanding platform...

I didn't feel much like posting last night after I came in from the garage, so I am going to post last nights progress this morning while I drink my coffee before I go back out there. I had a few things on the agenda for last night. I wanted to flip the saw around on the mobile base. When I...

I have recently started a thread documenting my table saw resto mod. For me and my tools I think "resto mod" is the way to go. I like the price, look, use of quality materials, solid construction, and easy maintenance of vintage tools. I however dislike sacrificing some safety features and the...

Got more work done tonight. I finally finished up both mounts. It was allot of drilling and tapping, but I am glad I went that route as it is way more ridged than I thought it would be. Does anyone else use their crimps to cut small hardware? wire cutters by Rat Finkelton, on Flickr It...

Woo hoo this thread has gotten 1,000 views!! Thanks to everyone checking out my work. Progress has been kind of slow recently. I have been distracted by other things and haven't gotten much garage time. I have gotten a little work done. This post will be a little more explanation of my last...

Well welcome to the party twinrider :beer:. Thanks for the encouragement. Its cool to hear from all the guys who have these saws. I never realized there were as many of them out there as there are. This post is more or less just a quick update as I have not really had allot of time to work on...

I find it really depends on what I am working on, how bad the rust or tarnish is, and what my finished goal for the clean up is. When I first started doing this I wanted everything to be pretty and perfect. Since then my tastes have changed a little and so have my practices. Here is a condensed...

Its funny you mention that, I was looking at 3M's panel adhesive. That adhesive is temp dependent for curing so I was worried that it wouldn't fully cure with the cooler temps seems like 70 F is the recommended curing temp with cure time decreasing as temp rises. It is also like $70 for the...

Thank you for the offer. I do not usually use blade guards. I find they get in my way more often than not. If you come across any other parts you may have for this saw though keep me in mind :bounce:. There are a couple other bits and pieces I wouldn't mind having.

Bang up job on the drill I would love to have that in my shop.

The second half of my day today was spent on the fence. I initially started out with the thought that I would try to freshen up the old fence. From there I would see how precise I could get it and how well it would hold that precision. I thought that would help me to decide if I wanted to stick...

I haven't really posted anything this week. I have been pretty sick so after work I just didn't feel like doing anything but resting. The free time gave me a lot of thinking time. Earlier in the week I had thought about scraping my custom fence idea in favor of tracking down a set of stock...

Thanks guys glad to hear yall are enjoying. I was wondering if maybe no one was reading. Ragtop excellent job picking up on that. I did just post a wanted add over there for some extension wings. I have kind of changed my plans a little and would like to at least try to get the original fence...

80% of my hand tools are SK. I am in

I had to run errands this morning, but this afternoon I was able to get a quite a bit of work done on the saw. So tonight's post will be broken up into two, because I have more pics than I can put in one post I started out where I left off last night with the reassembly of the sander. I got...

Tonight focus turned to the disc sanding unit. Going into it the sander spun really hard, I am hoping I can free that up a bit. I had originally thought that the rubber puck that drives the sander was spinning free from the shaft. I was a bit worried that I was going to have to get creative with...

Tonight I played around with the riving knife setup one last time just to make sure I was happy with everything. Once I was I pulled it all back apart and re assembled it with the new bearings. I had one little hiccup with the new bearings though. The bearing on the side closest to the blade...

That's awesome. I have seen a few Yates for sale around here too, most everything I see is exactly what you described a big beast. I want to bring them all home. I saw a fun planer here not to long ago that I wanted to drag home so bad. Maybe someday I will have a shop big enough :drool...

Once everything was together and I was comfortable with the arbor mount. I took everything over to the saw and mounted it all to the table top. on table by Rat Finkelton, on Flickr Then I mounted the table to the cabinet mocked up by Rat Finkelton, on Flickr table installed by Rat...
