Thanks Tim! Im looking forward to using it hopefully tonight. ordered disks and belts from Klingspor and they should get here today. I'm not around the shop till this evening. Hopefully i get to use it to crown the bandsaw tires and get it back together this evening also. I was really excited about ...

That is classic. I do like the novelty of it. would have made a great video piece. Why didn't he just freeze it and break it up with a hammer? I'm sure it gets cold enough to just leave it outside for a bit in Rochester right? Its probably less of the chocolate and more of the parafin/additives in l...

So this is where I spent my time for the most part today. Getting the tables back in good shape and functioning. I don't plan a full restore at this time on the sander as I need to be doing other things in the studio like make work and finish the WT bandsaw. Then sander time. That being said I need ...

Today ended up being spent doing other more pressing things. Although this is where I got... So I moved a bit sideways today. The wheels didn't get crowned but that is for the sander post. I decided with my limited time frame today that I would just do some smaller projects and ones mostly sander re...

So I have been on the hunt for a sander for a while. This guy came up on the CL not to far from where I work in Vermont. Called the guy up told him I wanted to take a look at it and was interested. He said I could come take a look at it. He then started to give me a bit of a tale of woe. That his wi...

It's taken me a bit of time to get back to posting on this guy. I got the last of the cracked/broken parts brazed up and then cleaned up. Painted and now am in the final stages of reassembly. There are some things on the to do list but. I think they will go quickly now that I have figured out some s...

Doug why do you ask about chocolate? I don't quite understand that one?

Pete: Where is the Walker Turner going now that the DoAll is taking its place? Nice upgrade too!

paperwork day here. While I'm waiting for a CD to burn I thought I would get the last of these images up so I can finish this post. Lots of pictures. http://i777.photobucket.com/albums/yy56/diamondsawdave/P1020786.jpg http://i777.photobucket.com/albums/yy56/diamondsawdave/P1020787.jpg http://i777.ph...

Looks great Pete! Gotta say when you do a rebuild you always pull out all the stops!

with the rebuilds I have gotten a lot of time in on this guy too. http://i777.photobucket.com/albums/yy56/diamondsawdave/P1020714-1.jpg http://i777.photobucket.com/albums/yy56/diamondsawdave/P1020767.jpg http://i777.photobucket.com/albums/yy56/diamondsawdave/P1020768.jpg http://i777.photobucket.com/...

So along with the drill press. I have been working on the walker turner also. across the board there has been lots to do. As I pointed out I found some broken castings and so after a lot of wire wheel work and some sand blasting I got things to a point where I could spray some paint and start workin...

I've been split many ways lately and finally got in some serious time lately. I've got it pretty much wrapped up other than some wiring issues I am still trying to figure out and the lower rear section of the belt cover that I need to fab up but have decided on a course of action finally. http://i77...

Busy kinda of week. I got a couple of good days in on the drill press. I managed to get the hood welded up and relatively level. All things considered. Got some grinding and sanding in before I had to catch a flight out west. Actually the flight I am on has wireless. Which is really kinda awesome. S...

So as the rebuild goes. went to mount the motor. Found out it didn't line up with the original holes. So cut an aluminum plate. drilled and tapped 4 sets of holes so as to mount the C-frame motor to the plate and the plate to the variable speed mount. Then I started dealing with the issues of the br...

So I have been really, really, really, trying hard not to make work. As at this point of time it is not cost effective. So along with the crazy rebuilds I did get a large piece of paper hung and gave it some time to acclimate to the conditions in the shop. I finally got to work on this guy about 2 w...

Wow got into it right away. I like the idea of the mushroom in the box but someplace more appropriate might be best. Also the shut off for both of the motors I think is a great idea.

Let me rephrase that. YOU need to get that Tanny back together and running. I have enough of my own projects of stupidity. lol

Hey I made the post! lol

Congrat's on the buy Pete. That sander is minty. Also it was a great day with great people. Loved the NOJO shop tour just around the corner. Always good to see Mr. D too!

Now we just need to get that Tanny back together and running. See ya when I get back from Toronto.

While trying to finish frankenpress. I have foolishly started to work on the WT. After a bit of despair yesterday I have found (with a hot cup of coffee) myself in better spirits. The saw is in pretty good condition all things considered. I have decided to braze the broken parts back on. It's been a...
