    Thank you both. I have an AC stick welder from the days of yore and used it to repair and modify old machinery at the farm where I used to live. I still think I have enough of the 3/16" and 1/4"...

    I've got the bearings all out of the saw and motor and will be ordering new ones. The guides are the kind with blocks, so I don't have to order bearings for the sides. I looked up an extra set of...

    I used to run into that with old farm machinery too, that it didn't sit up nicely. The tires sound great for that. I found a picture in my collection of moving the saw that shows the spine pretty...

    Tom, I have used urethane on my previous two 18" bandsaws and have been happy with it. I have seen your posts about bandsaw wheel questions but have not weighed in, since my experience has been...

    Thank you for your help. I am confused by the distinction between the microset and jet lock fences. Some things I read said that the microset was an older design, and some the other way around. I...

    The saw is here, after a long and mildly arduous excursion to get it. The ferry rides were very nice. A couple of helpful folks at the National Guard base helped with loading, and loaned me a 9/16"...

    Thanks for the tip, it's very good to know. I'll have 2 1.5" and 2 2" straps, so I should be able to get it secured to the hand truck.

    You can do the sideways cut with a circular saw with a regular blade too, though you can't take that deep of a cut in a single pass. When I was 16 or 17 I saw a carpenter do that to shave a bit off...

    I wonder if you could set up something to blow a small stream of air across the lenses, like some scroll saws and jigsaws have to blow dust off the line of cut? I am imagining a little hose running...

    Good for you. I'm glad you were able to find a solution. NY is one of the more bureaucratic states about a lot of things, so I don't know why they are more lenient about non-motorized boats.

    Here in NY you don't have to register a sailboat that has no motor, regardless of the size. I don't know how many other states are like this, but your old boats would be of interest to someone in a...

    Thank you both for the ideas. I think I should be able to handle this with a hand truck once I remove the table, trunnion and motor. If I understand correctly it should be about 450 pounds at that...

    I have a TracFone plan that costs $200 a year, and mostly works pretty well. Occasionally I lose service, but not too often. I'm out in a very rural area, so that may also be a factor.

    I hear you about things getting more expensive. 2x4x8s at Lowes are $3.58 now up here, so that's still pretty low.

    Yes, I am very lucky to get to live up here for sure. It was a dream for 10 years or so, and then gradually things came together. The guide boats are very interesting, and there are a lot of...

    Maurice, I'm glad to hear that the ferry was nice. I've not been on one before.

    Marc, thanks for the recommendation. I'll look it up.

    Thank you both very much. I'll certainly check the bearings and will be happy to replace them if needed. My current Parks saw has a journal on the main shaft that is damaged from a spun bearing,...

    Robert, thanks. I've been looking for a Delta or Rockwell 28-3xx or a Powermatic 81 or possibly 80, but there are a lot more of the Delta/Rockwell saws around here anyway. I build banjos and...

    I use Stew-Mac #30. It's not cheap and if there's an equally good alternative I'll be happy to switch. I go through about a bottle a year, so it's not too bad. The nozzle does plug, but it's easy...

    I use aluminum plate for bandsaw throat plates and it would also work for a router table insert, I think. It's easy to cut and sand with woodworking tools, and quite durable. You can get pieces on...

    I cut segments for rings of 18 blocks on the bandsaw, using the rip fence to set the length and miter gauge to set the angle. I use a backer stick on the miter gauge to support the back of the strip...
  25. Sometimes it's the simple things that make a big difference
