Darcy,
Sorry just seeing this now.
I have kinda been head down buried in my day to day.
Things are now slowing down for me. I have plans to drag this ,aching into my home shop next weekend. Well at least the base and sliding table. I’ll need to recruit man power to get the cast iron table in as it has to be lifted up on its side to get it through my shop door.
Anyhow just today I was actually going through all the parts I have at home and generally fully re assembled taking a tally of the short list of items I still need to tend to. Oddly enough the riving knife and nut or block that attach it to the arbor I do not have.
Honestly I never use a riving knife but I would like to get this saw fully back to its original condition.
Are you suggesting maybe you are also looking for one to use as a pattern to have one made. If so and you do find one put me on the list to have one made.
Significant “and really really good” changes are about to come to my life. More to be revealed in the next couple months. I hope to have this saw fully assembled and up and running by the first of the year.
I have much logistical work to do to make this happen. Assembly will probably be the easy part “not tuning” but general assembly.
First on the list will be making room in my crammed shop.
The fun begins best weekend when o bring her home.
