Holly - bath time

Straight outside after her bath as she always needs to go toilet.

Then hang around as she initially dries off and give her first brush out – one of many.
She’s keen to get back inside to the coolness of the downstairs foyer.

14” Bandsaw – Hinged wheel cover 2

I the last session we made the frame for the lower hinged wheel cover which will also serve as a dust extraction box.

Now we can measure and cut another MDF board which we be the actual front panel of the box.

14” Bandsaw – Hinged wheel cover

With the base box at the back of the lower wheel boarded up with dust panels we can now start making the frame for the front hinged cover.

14” Bandsaw – Motor dust covers 2



From the last session we need to fit one more panel across the top.

14” Bandsaw – Motor dust covers 1

This is the first stage of hopefully a reasonably effective dust extraction setup to which I can attach a workshop vacuum.

I checked behind the wheel and we have room for a dust panel. We need to cut a pulley access slot, the shorter the better. The pulley is towards the right side so also checked that I can slide the panel in on the left side, then up and across to the right.

Facebook – Activity log

Something that has bugged me with the activity log is the ability to go back directly to a specific year AND month. The main reason for this is when I fall behind with updating my WordPress blog to match my Facebook posts it requires to much effort painfully paging down through the activity log to find specific posts. Same for when I go through my photo archives and come across pictures and would like to review the related Facebook posts where they were used – if that makes sense.

14” Bandsaw – Saw stand 3

From the last related session with the stand on the floor (with castors) I could see that it ended up to high and needs to be lowered – say 100-150mm.

Not to worry – I’ll just lower the boards so the top edge is 33mm from the underside of the stand top.

Another new toy for kitties.
