Building the Stand for my 1930's Craftsman Bandsaw 

Thanks 👍 I totally agree with you assessment of white oak, it's an amazing wood. I have a friend that trims tree and he cut the tree down at a neighbors house. He then delivered it to a saw mill run by an Amish family and then I dried it in the back yard. That was at lest 15 years ago. The tree was 32 inches at the large end and it took me 6 trips to the saw mill to get half of it home. The other half the tree trimmer kept. A few years ago the tree trimmer asked me if I wanted the white oak and he gave it to me. I probably have 130 bf left. I've done the same with a red oak and poplar. It nice having an abundance but the white oak is the best!

Thanks, it did work well.

Thanks Harold. My objectives changed after I retired. Now its okay to take my time. I'm enjoying the process as much as the end result now.

Thanks, yeah, sometimes I get carried away. Most my work life I was forced to do things fast and economical. Now that I'm retired I like taking my time and getting creative.

​@@WinkysWorkshop know the feeling!!

Thank you very much! Nice comment.

Thanks, I agree, the slots worked well.

Thanks. I needed it small. taller would be nice but sitting and welding works well too.

Thanks so much! It was a lot of fun

Thanks

Thanks 👍 Me too!

You bet. Thanks

Glad you like them! Thanks

Haha... yeah that was "in the moment" inventions. Thanks

Thanks! Dowels will definitely split the wood. The dowel I used are a bit too loose but better than too tight. I should probably drill a bit more shallow like an 1/8" more than half the dowel. That way you force some of the glue around the dowel. In this application it will likely be fine. I agree, TIG heats things up more but I've had the same problems with MIG. The warp I had was only 3/16" maybe. It straightened out near perfect. I have much better success with TIG than MIG which apparently is opposite what most people experience. I love TIG.... for me it's easy to get a fairly good weld. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for the tips! That's a great idea.

Thanks!

Never heard of the cars but yeah, that would be bad. I probably should have done as you suggested with the router. I was worried about getting the all at eht same depth. Thanks

Glad to hear it! The next one is the last.

I feel the same, thanks!

Yes it is.... you will see it in action.

Thanks

Your welcome, thanks!

Thank you very much!

Thanks, this was fun

If I was working in a production environment where time was an issue I'm have a MIG welder. Also, I'm not as steady as I used to be and TIG is much more forgiving. MIG is like trying to paint trim with a 4" brush... ha. My TIG gas is fairly cheap. I think I paid 35 to exchange the tank last time. I used to use AirGas and they were at least double the price. Of course buying the tanks is terribly high from whoever.

@WinkysWorkshop I'm retired now and can't see paying so much for the gas. Here it cost $35 for the really small bottle. 40cu

@@berniejanssen2863 I understand. Mine is a 60 cuft and about that price. It lasts a long time. Usually about 3 month but it depends on what I get into. Flux core on MIG actually welds fairly clean so I might do the same. Especially with s 120 v welder.

Glad you like them! Thanks

Interesting.. you might be right!

Haha... Yeah, thanks!

@@WinkysWorkshop 😁

Thanks 👍

Thank you very much

Yep, you got that right. Mine are a little loose but better than too tight.

That's🙃 kind how I got into metal

Thanks, i think so too.

Ha... yeah the cord is bad. Thanks

Maybe very slightly but not hardly noticeable. I think its humidity and not the ammonia. The cool part is, the fuming is at least 1/16" deep in the wood so you can sand it as needed (also I did not need to).

Here's the one I bought amzn.to/4abiJAM

Sometimes youtube deletes links in comments, let me know if you don't see the other reply with link

Mark the link came through just fine. It looks very much like the one I have that uses filtered compressed air but mine will not work since I wear glasses. Have you used yours with your glasses on? If so I will order one . Thanks @@WinkysWorkshop

@@terrycannon570 Yes it works fine with glasses for me.

Haha... I considered putting a coupe of 4 inch speakers in there.

I actually thought about making that center hold larger and installing 4" speakers - Haha

The shop smith horizontal drill is great but I it takes up too much space for occasional use. The boring machine I made can be stashed away in a corner when I'm not using it.

INCH :o)

@@WinkysWorkshopwhat’s your email I couldn’t find it

Thanks, yeah, you're right about the countersink. Too lazy to move a belt I guess.
