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.

Continued on adding the four ‘legs’ that are not really legs but rather corner supports.

At this stage with the heavy saw mostly completed and still sitting on the low table it’s time to make a sturdy stand with castors so I can move it around.

Found some timber at the back of the workshop that used to a potting bench. There’s enough there to get started and although a bit weathered will be fine with a clean-up.

Replacement battery for Betty

Betty is our Garmin nuvi 2597LMT GPS that we bought off our older daughter a few years ago. The battery has been showing signs of dying so got a replacement one off eBay for less than $15 dollars. Battery arrived weeks ago and been sitting on the balcony computer desk and when I finally got around to doing the job could not find the bloody thing.

Tiny TORX screws... do I have bits that small?
