8” Bandsaw 1 – New project

Decided to build a 8" bandsaw so let's start collecting the bits.

Eight bearings for $10.

Skateboards are a source for bearings, two per wheel gives you eight 608 bearings - 22mm OD/8mm ID

Bought two skateboards from Kmart for $10 each and when I pulled one apart discovered that they have a bloody flange on them! I'll return the other one for a refund and try one of the other stores.

Ozito 350W 5 Speed Bench Drill Press

Off this morning to get this for Mothers Day.

This to replace one of the two bench drills lost in the 2016 shed fire.

Still waiting for the ALDI WorkZone drill press to come around on sale.

Chester is gone. 2006 - 2017 RIP my boy.

Mitre saw purchase

Thanks to Ozito (again) for locating a 305mm Sliding Compound Mitre Saw and putting my name on the last one at Bunnings Notting Hill.

One of the last and this particular model not available anymore – wonder why ?

Workshop – Main workbench

Not able to get out to the workshop till the evening to finish off the main workbench with some leg bracing and a plywood shelf.
