What is on my bench?

 

Bit of a mess...now that this is done..

 

Turned out great Bandit. I suppose it's full already or soon will be.

This afternoon I started the restoration of a 1930ish 14" Heston & Anderson Bandsaw. I'm not sure how much restoration vs just getting it running I'm going to do. It needs tires and a drive belt. This will give me enough time to figure out whether I want to convert it to 110V or make the big jump to a 220V circuit in the barn

Looks pretty complete - great find!

Put the finish on another order of beer cases.

Sweet!  Might be able to rewire the motor for 110V. 

The motor can be rewired, but while I'm at the crossroads of 110 & 220, with a delay I want to think long-term (220) vs the cheapest quickest way (110)

Have a pile of parts..

And..more on the way...tomorrow..

Currently?

Was doing lay outs, to see how much I need to trim off..

Hmmmm, about that much...

Tuesday Morning..."What's on MY bench top?"

Should change that to  "Where's MY bench top?"

I finished that laminated stand for my DIL

 

 Then I started working on a couple of boxes for this weekend.

("I know waiting until the last minute, 'But it just two hardwood boxes, couples of hours at most' ") 

That's when the drive belt on the planer shredded, the new one(S) will be here Thursday.

Pieces are all cut and jointed

"What's on my Workbench?"

 

Hmmm.

.

Seems something landed on it's top...takes up half the bench top..

Better check your plans again. Looks to me you built it upside down.

It's for his underwear so he's good.

hey, green side up, and nice looking, a new art type maybe, lol

thanks for sharing, 

shop work here has been slow, lotsa other things going on, but am closing in on getting started back in shop again, gonna re do some of the dust collecting system, and move some stuff around shop, always re organizing trying to gain some space, shoulda built it bigger

Well...in that case..

I will sit it back on the floor...

Certainly is a nice piece, well done!

It's a beauty.

Most Excellent Bandit!

I really appreciate all the pictures and descriptions during this build-a-long.
