So Christ Hatchet, Andrew Pitonyak, and Steven Newman all got together today (Saturday, 1/21/17) and poked around Steve's shop. As some of you know, especially if you hang out on the hand tool forum, Steve recently rearranged his shop and is building a nice chest to hold tools. As usual, I learned a lot with Steve and I ended up with a nice new to me saw that Steve spruced up. I should have taken pictures of his shop, but I did not.
We landed at Chris's shop, and saw his table saw that is near the end of its life....
352338
A few items of note. See that old school drill press on the left. That thing is a beast. Also, those thick planks sitting on thet able saw and also on the floor on the left will be Chris's new work bench, understanding that he already has a nice work bench, but this one will be nicer. That "stool" on the right is used as a saw bench.
Well, back to that failing table saw.... That craftsman table saw has seen about 20 years of hard use and has a few issues, so it must be replaced.
Based on this, I said something to my wife like "hey honey, can I borrow your car", while neglecting to add, "because I want to put 500 pounds of dusty metal table saw in the back. Well, we saw a whole bunch of really nice old iron, probably should have taken pictures of that, but all I got was this, one Delta table saw in the back of the wife's car.
352339
Did I mention that this saw is very heavy? We obviously took it apart to get it into the car. This is the base sitting in Chris's shop.
352340
This is the top of the saw
352341
I will let Chris and/or Steve to provide more details, such as the model number of this three horse power three phase saw (I see a phase convert in Steve's future). I will , however, provide a picture of Steve and Chris looking at a few of of Chris' hand planes.
352342
As usual, I learned much, had a great time, and we consumed a huge quantity of Mexican food. I would provide more details, but I am just trying to put a few pictures up for the others to build on....
Any others in the area want to get in our next escapade?
