At the moment no, nothing over the tiles to protect them. Most of the tiles are 1/4" or better ceramic and can take quite a beating but not all. The specific problem is that if something spilled on...

The tiles were tricky to work with. Different sizes and thicknesses. Tried to balance the color across the top so as to not create one one hot spot. Also decided on doing an arts and crafts style...

I haven't posted in a long while but I Just delivered my first commissioned heirloom piece of furniture. My client was thrilled with the results and I couldn't be happier with the outcome and her...

I posted this a while back but these are the two designs I made for my two vintage Delta / Rockwell Band Saws. Neither is very pretty but they do work and other than the 4" interface made out of...

Per a prior comment: It will take as long as you have time to put into it! a truer statement ever said! Mine took about 1 year. Now I only got to work on parts of it for a few days every month or...

I have a few of them and modified them slightly to make them work. You need to nip a small triangular section out of the corners of the casework where the gate seats, one on each side of the gate so...

Or you can do like I did. I bought a bandsaw that needed a bunch of TLC to bring it back into working condition. Built a base, put new switch and wires and had to replace the upper wheel due to...

Timber wolf every once in a while has a problem with their brazing alignment. Usually with the larger 1/2" to 3/4" blades. It results in a distinctive vibration and movement in the blade on the...

This is what I did with my wife's art studio in the basement. I used both troffer fixtures and installed some basic shop lights hanging between the joists. I set it up this way so that light could be...

North of the beam on the west wall would work. Air flow should move South to North given that location (essentially clockwise). I hung my unit from the ceiling but I've seen others where it is...

Hi David,
The general rule is to put it about 2/3 down the long end of the shop. Given your layout it looks like the best place to put it would be on the West side about 1/3 up from the door entry...

These other methods are great ways to do it as well. Hopefully I won't ever have to change it out cause mine is as close to permanent as one gets. I didn't really consider the option for future...

Hi Rich
Yes, that was the instructions from the flooring people glue only the bottom of the transition to the floor. Creates a clean joint at the tile and allows the floating floor to float. The...

Very nice!!! Love the color and the lines!

I did exactly what you are asking about with my floating floor. My tile had a nice clean edge to it and the transition wasn't all that much so instead of a "T" I used a shaped transition that butted...

You don't list where you are located but Craigslist is your best bet for local stuff. You would need to be patient and wait for stuff to show up but you can get some really good deals there, but you...

John, thanks for the kind comments. We're pretty close to the DF source here so it tends to be pretty wet. That being said we also have some pretty good material. Not sure of your selection locally...

I build my Roubo from reclaimed DF cutoffs from a mill that had been left outside for a while. Probably a bit worse for the wear than what you can get at the BORG. I'd do as others stated get the...

I made this one. Pretty basic and needed something a bit smaller to fit my shop. 5' long 18" wide. Still need to put a couple of things on it to help with 4'x8' sheet breakdown. I think I got this...

I've rehabbed 2 Old Rockwell/Delta bandsaws. Paid a bit more than you but not much. eBay is your best bet as long as you are not in a hurry. Thats where I've gotten most of my missing parts. Parts...

Congrats!!! I've rebuilt 2 of these a bit older but pretty much the same machine. Each were at different stages of needing repair. parts are generally available if you are patient and can dig through...

my solution a while back. Had to build a full base and used mobile base from Woodcraft that let you build to size. Works well and easy to do. Mortised in the pieces to my base to keep the profile...

Love it! the proportions look great from the pic and the old iron base works well with the top you chose. I think this one will be copied by a lot of us :)

Great job!!!
Randy...

This is the link on this forum to what I did. Not sure how to make it show so use the Link Version #2 of these 2 solutions works the best. Very similar to what others have posted. Far Far better than...

I'm with the others. Way over priced for that saw. I picked up 2 older Delta/Rockwell 14" bandsaws (1947 and a 1965) for about $120 each. I put about another $100 into refurbishing each of them....
