8” Bandsaw - Revised the tension bridge support.

This one is from pine and fills the whole centre section, not only across but front to back as well - it's like a cross.











As posted...the previous one was a FAIL.

Now I can have another go at trimming those packers for the jigsaw table.

Table saw – Mini crosscut sled

During construction of the bandsaw (and other stuff around the workshop) I had need to cut small parts, to small and to dangerous for the big 12" sliding mitre saw, so I just made a small crosscut sled for the table saw.

The base and tracks are laminate flooring with front & back from pine.

Today I got some new wheels

For the desk chair.

The original castors don’t roll smoothly any more, not helped by being clogged up with dog hair which is to hard to remove. Just get a new set.

Router lift - Rod to short (part 4)

Router lift for ALDI Workzone router table - not able to get to the workshop till late this afternoon but still managed to do something - get the scissor jack working !

We must be up to Version 3.0 and now the 3/8" threaded rod length it to short.

New battery for the Kia Pregio van

I'll put it in tomorrow morning and see how she starts,

Another new toy for kitties.
