Chook annex rebuild - Part 1

Buying the materials

Just arrived home from Bunnings with a load of stuff for the chook annex rebuild.

As usual to fit larger stuff in the car I remove the back seat which gives us a nice load space.

Bandsaw 29 - Base with castors

The saw is finally sitting on it's base which I just finished constructing.

Jam session

Jigsaw table – cutting wood gears

A few days ago I blogged about my homemade jigsaw table and since then have been trying it out cutting various things with different shapes etc.


The thought come to mind to give it the ‘ultimate test’ so to speak  - cut some wood gears.

Bandsaw 28 - Excessive vibration

When the saw is running there is a lot of shaking so went looking for the cause(s) of that and discovered there was excessive flexing between the saw base box and the main vertical beam - we need some more bracing.



Added a bracing panel with another one below the top one (out of picture) which fixed a lot of the shaking and vibration.

Milo update

Everything OK at the moment and Luna is keeping a eye on him.
