So after a dip in the lacquer bath and some paint the missing part has managed to get back into the head stock. The aftermarket variable speed is on also. http://i777.photobucket.com/albums/yy56/diamondsawdave/P1020681.jpg I sourced a new (used) baldor motor. It sounded nice and quiet when I got it ...

Thanks Nico. It was a nice trip and a nice lunch. I need to get up that way more often. So after throwing in the towel last night. A long day in the studio today. I managed to get it totally torn down. Now looking at all the parts. She was ridden hard and put away wet so to speak. It's got about 8 d...

So I couldn't help myself. Being only day away from finishing the drill press. (waiting for the paint to cure) on the motor. I have the cover to finish and paint and the wiring and its done. So I dug into the walker turner. shortly after I found some issues that I misses When I did the full inspecti...

So as I stated in a much earlier post. I wanted to try to use the forum as a possible full reference on how to rebuild at least one of these drill presses. In the future other things. So there are lots of pictures..... Lots. So I started with the head stock http://i777.photobucket.com/albums/yy56/di...

So finally after a lot of shop cleaning, buying bandsaws, finding sanders and making a bit of work. (Even though I promised I wouldn't make any new work till all the shows travel). I have managed to finish the paint on the drill press. There are a few last things but the meat and potatoes of it are ...

So my quest for a wood/metal bandsaw has been long and arduous. After such a long search I had expanded my CL search area all the way to Boston and Buffalo and even considered driving to the Pennsylvania line if the price was right. For some reason though with my constant travels back and forth to V...

So things have been busy here and I have been doing more paperwork than actually work. So I managed to get out to the studio today to continue work on the press. I decided that I would have some parts sand blasted and called a friend and traded them a case of beer to have the table and the head stoc...

quick update... So the drill press is still sitting in pieces on the floor in the studio. bought paint today very exciting. Looking to spray in the next few days. As for right now. I finally got a bit of breathing room. Just installed new work that I made this week durning the DP tear down and spent...

ready for paint! decided on a paint scheme any suggestions on paint brands?

Thanks Pete, thats what I thought but figured I'd ask anyway... pics to follow later

So yesterday was a crazy busy day with the deinstall of my show and so I got no time in the studio. Actually they studio is a total disaster with all the work back in it on top of the disassembled drill press and other things. I managed to get it some what squared away today and managed to get the b...

Thanks Pete, I slept on the problem last night and ended up reattaching the head stock to the base so as to not be trying to roll around on me. I used a gear puller to drive the quill (quill right?) down far enough so as to remove the bearing and retrieve the pulley from it. The nice thing was that ...

Its a pretty interesting set up. The central pulley system does seem to be adjustable. I plan to keep it and have started the deconstruction of the whole thing earlier today. I have gotten a bit stuck and searched the site looking for a previous rebuild especially because I know crzypete owns about ...

Thanks Pete, don't know why I thought it was a 16". Although posting the photos after last night rather hilarious and mildly epic move from the truck to the studio should have been filmed and posted on youtube. All I have to say is I'm stronger than I look and when missing your hand truck a whe...

So recently I found this delta drill press on the CI not a great price but I managed to talk the man down. Picked it up today. Its quite interesting. Apparently it was in the R&D dept. at General Electric. Seams they had a bit of fun with it converting it to variable speed. Not quite sure what m...

The saw looks better than it did when I came by to pick up the 3 foot bar. I did look in through the window to see it sitting by the door. With the lights off. The grind on the table top is extremely nice. I would have to add it to the list of tool drawing but right now there are 3 that need to be s...

Nico, I hope you do get to make it up to see it in person. Pictures really don't do them justice. I'll talk to pete about it when he gets back. He's out of town till tomorrow I think. Not sure if Cinci is still in business. I know Milicron is but not sure if they are still the same company or of Cin...

Ok junkies, It's been a while that I have meant to post all the pics but it has been kinda crazy trying to get all the work done for the show and handling all the stuff that goes with the spin up for the opening. So I'll keep it short and sweet. Pics , lots of pics. Dave http://i777.photobucket.com/...

Now the real question is when are you going to dye your glue green? I was thinking about this when you switched to that bottle a little while ago and I have a similar experience in a different material. I work quite a bit in plaster (for a while almost exclusively) I would get so mad when I could no...

Hello again, So as I said at the end of my last post of the drawing of crzypete's Tannewitz. The next drawing would be of his jointer. I'll keep the chat to a minimum. here are the pictures. There are a lot so bear with me... Dave http://i777.photobucket.com/albums/yy56/diamondsawdave/Oliver%20Joint...
