Bandsaw 2 – Collecting the bits

Lower wheel drive belt.

Bought a V-belt from Supercheap Auto for $12 - to drive the lower wheel.

Bandsaw 1 - New project 14" bandsaw

With spring approaching already started venturing out to the workshop and while tidying up and reorganizing things I stubbed my toes on a heavy metal object lying on the floor of the garage/workshop – ouch.

Oh yeah that’s the Bianco 800W water pump that has a stuffed controller, it’s been replaced with a 1100W Gardenline pump from ALDI for $99.

No way I would throw it out of course as there’s nothing wrong with the actual motor. I could use that to power something – what about a bandsaw !!!

COLLECTING THE PARTS

THE MOTOR

Chooks heading for home!

Look what's coming!

Just called the chooks back into their run.

Gear wheels

Earlier in the year I made a jigsaw table and after some test cutting was surprised how well it worked in particular cutting - wood gear wheels.



The saw did a good job cutting the gear wheel teeth.

Holly is back home!

She will have to be confined downstairs for quite a while.

Dusty out for some grass

Holly update

K9 update - Holly is recovering after her knee surgery and will be staying overnight at the Boronia Animal Hospital. ET spoke to vet surgeon pre/post op and everything is OK – phew!

Four weeks recovery period and of course no stair climbing so I will have to keep her company downstairs.
