Just my .02 but I’d use something with less distinctive grain. The table top should be the main focus. 

gonna give it a shot of sapale, and i have some figured walnut, see whut happens, 

i had this to accomplish today, 

fabbed the frame work to add the 4ft table saw extention on, just need the adjustable feet to show up so i can weld tabs on the 1.5x1.5 tube steel for end support, and then drill some h oles, i have a sheet of 5/8 melamine to use for table top, was gonna laminate something, but gonna go the fast and easy direction, can always add it later, 

happy hump day

 Your quite welcome Bandit.

I believe the dual spokeshave is a Seymour & Smith.

Kudos to you Bob. . Very nice gesture paying forward on your part especially to someone who will recondition and use.

This is more of a "Headed to my Workbench"

 

I just scored an old Walker-Turner 14" bandsaw and a 10" Walker-Turner cabinet saw at a price that made a close inspection unnecessary.

I know they both work but the upper part of the trunion on the bandsaw table is split down the middle. It's Cast Iron and I believe I have a professional that can fix it. My question is, can I just epoxy it together? If it does fail I always have the option of doing it right.

IMO, I'd skip trying the epoxy fix. While epoxy (lab metal) has improved significantly over the years, I don't think this is the place. If it doesn't hold, just that much more to clean/ grind away.

I'd seek out someone (fab shop or old school welding shop) that can either TIG weld or even old school DC arc weld. Braze might work too but not my preference for most CI repairs.

 

In a previous life, many years ago, repaired lots of cast including engine blocks using a special alloy nickel rod, old Lincoln AC welder. Mostly cold welds, but sometimes preheated too.

 

Just my .02 which includes tax.

 

BTW, Sweet score on both. Of course pictures will give more credibility

Thanks, never played a welder in any lifetime and few occasions to need one

 

It's looking like a week or two before I can get them home, also need to get some beauty shots of my Craftsman to make room for the two new saws

Will give you time to line up some strong help. You're gonna' need it for these two. Walker-Turner moves is not for the weak of back.

ditto on skipping the epoxy, go for the real fix, a good welder can do it, there is a sort of art for cast iron, but can be done.

am looking forward to pics of the new to you shop toys, i had a blast rehabbing the uni saw i picked up, in fact made an offer on another one earlier today to maybe rehab, waiting to hear from the seller. 

good luck, 

happy friday

I've got a small lathe that sits bored in my garage shop area.  Perhaps spending a little zen time with it would make it feel a bit better and me too!   Don't need a rolling pin, but could make a couple replacement handles for some old worn tools. In college shop our introductory lathe project was to make handles for some lathe tool blanks. Mine was made from some walnut, and was still in use when I came back to teach there a few years after graduation. A parting tool that got used frequently and resharpened so often we eventually tossed it out. Kind of wish I'd kept it for the handle and found a new parting tool blank to put in it.  

4D

Bench WAS just a drying Rack.

As a lot of handles got a coat of varnish last night

Even the old eggbeater I use as a Pilot Hole Drill..

 

Needed to clear this mess away, and make another mess...as in "Test Drives"

No.1

I was finally able to get this one working like it should..

No. 2?

This 67 has the round sole..I did price a flat sole for it...ouch almost $40?

 

#3?

I used just the curved sole part,,,almost round? #4?

Brace is a No. 104 with the EC Stearns tenon cutter onboard...

Depth stop needed to be moved..

And that is how far I can go  ..

Had the brace set aside, as it needed a clean up..

It has a scale to set the diameter of the round tenon/dowel...set at 1/2"....

 

That tenon cutter is pretty cool!
