December 4, 20178 yr Not a whole lot got done yesterday, nothing today. That ..Monday Thing. Last night, got creative ( dangerous, I know..)and decided to try and rehab that junky saw.... Where all the bolt holes were...I cut that off, about 2" worth, then had to grind the edge to match the handle I found. And dig up a few extra bolts. Medallion is just an old Warranted Superior....Saw did make a kerf rip cut in that pine block....makes a nice display stand? Plate will never shine up, too much "patina" going on....had things all nice and lovely...until I noticed the handle a bit closer... Bummer. I MIGHT have a spare handle...that doesn't have a crack in it. Saw is now a 24" long, 8ppi Panel saw that seems to be sharp enough. Ok, The Boss cleaned the top of the fridge off...found this strange item... The lid is actually white, with blue letters. Not sure IF the place is still there, or that phone number still works....Inside? Being from Cleveland......weird tools. A Ratchet Socketool. Not sure if everything is there....never know. Sockets are a hex drive. Usable lumber? There is a square of maple under that Poplar. ( planes are "extras") The long Poplar board is just over 3'.. By 8-1/2" wide. Maybe 1/2" thick? Might see what I can cobble up out of this mess. maybe when Tuesday arrives, I can get a bit of shoptime, doing something besides tool rehabs.
December 4, 20178 yr Steve, I USED A GOOD HANDLE LIKE AT'UN & ATTACHED A LONG PIECE OF 1/4'' PLY THEN ATTACHED A 4'X1'' HEEL UNDER HANDLE, GLUED PIECE OF SAND PAPER OUT AT END OF PLY. HEEL IS BOUT 1/4 PROUD OF PLY. ENTIRE MESS IS MY PUSH STICK. SURE THE HEEL HAS TO BE SAWED / CUT SO THE PLY SITS DOWN IN IT W/GLUE. THAT HANDLE PLACES MY HAND WELL ABOVE THE SAW BLADE. GOTTA GO SUPPER'S GITTIN COLD. Cya
