Workshop Tour – Feb 2018

Spent some time over the last few days cleaning up and reorganising the workshop.  The motivation for doing this is to find a parking spot for the latest nearly completed project – the 14” bandsaw!

This is the big Ozito 12” sliding mitre saw. I was lucky to get one of the last as they don’t make 12” anymore. Thanks to Ozito (again) for tracking one down and getting one to the Bunnings Scoresby store for me to pick-up!

Cookie with my coffee

Came inside from doing stuff outside for a coffee break – and a cookie.

My personal tin of Jacobsens Bakery Denmark cookies.

14” Bandsaw – Dust extraction 2

Noticed this morning that the lower wheel cover which also serves for dust extraction is not closing flush at the bottom.

Would not have thought that the middle 3mm MDF panel is the culprit. We need to recess the bottom edge of the cover.

14” Bandsaw – Dust extraction

With the lower wheel cover done we can start thinking about dust extraction.

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.
