nice job Clayton i really like that frame to

wow that did turn out great were did ya get that slab from? nice work Vector

we cooked out tonight, didnt get a chance to work on my table saw any but will see maybe tomorrow

well i wanted to build it like this at first but couldnt find any 2" square tubing at any of my normal haunts so i had to add the angle along the whole way for strength since i could only find 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" 1/16 walled tubing . so i'm having to reconsider my options i welded down a 3/4" inner id piece of pipe for height adjustments but i'm having a tough time coming up with a good way for the tilt. i've used up all but 2 feet of the 40' of angle iron i started with. i still need at leas 12 more feet to finish the hand wheels. i ended up not being able to work on the tablesaw today maybe later tomorrow. old Henry(the ford 8n tractor) of my sisters broke an arm so i ended up having to get the stuff to repair it

great job linda thanks for sharing i really like the balloon

today was a productive day i finished up the frame 36" tall x 36" deep x 30" wide . mounted the pillow blocks and got to thinking about the best thing to use for the shaft. i picked up a 3/4" rod then i was going to have the threads turned down to 5/8" but most 12" blades use 1" arbors cost wise i cant afford to get 1" bearing which use the 205 pillow blocks (i have 204's for the 3/4" bearings) and 1" shafting then replacing the pulley for 1" shafting and i'm not going to use a bushing those are dangerous very very dangerous!!!!! so i'm going to use the 10" blade for now later on i might set it up with the 12" blade. i also got the motor mounted and found out that its not what i thought it was its only a 1/2 horse motor rather then 1 1/2 horse (always wondered about why that jointer seemed to be lacking in power) it was sold to me as 1 1/2 hp mastercraft jointer. but i never did look at the tag till today so i'm on the search for a different motor too. still working on the design for the tilt and the blade height part.Every time i think i come up with something i think will work! i put it together and find its just to sloppy. so while the wife is having her sale tomorrow i'm going to the scrap yard to see what i can find i need to start thinking about a top i need something strong yet smooth i wanted to use a piece of half inch steel but just dont have the milling equipment to cut the insert. the last table saw i built used a laminated wood top of walnut and hard maple and it did not hold up very well. wife dont need the cam so i'm hijacking it(by force if need be lol ) and get some updated pics

yeah i got all the angle broke down and then part of arbor assembly welded together. so not to bad still need to make the tilt assembly and the height pin. welded the the top part of the frame together today but the wife had the cam so i was unable to get pics heres the pics of the unfinished arbor assembly still need to reinforce the motor mount and add the pillow blocks yet was going to try and get that done tomorrow

I took the day off today because my brother, his wife and new baby where passing thru town on there way home from Texas. so i cooked lunch and just had a great time meeting baby Rowen and just catching up. Got alot pictures! lol my wife and sister just went nuts taking over 300 pics between the the 2 of them. After my brother left i took the kids into Quincy to have a look at Grave Digger. oh that was Fun!! 3 boys and 2 girls and just me to watch them. the boys where all over that monster truck and here i am trying to get the girls out of my truck. i'm sure it was a funny sight. my daughter who is 5 told me there aint no horses here DAD! you said there was a thousand of them. and i pointed at the truck sure there is there just all inside! course she just shot me a look of disbeleif and said she wasnt interested in getting out to find them LOL but the boys had fun! When we got back i was milling around waiting on the wife to decide what she wanted to do the boys took off and went fishing and the girls went about there way doing what girls do so i finial decided it was time to start working on my table saw. i gathered all the pieces i've been collecting over last few months. 40' of angle iron some 3/4" pillow blocks , 3/4" rod and other misc. parts. drug the welder and cut off saw out and cut the angle down for the arbor and trunnion assembly and spent about 2 hours building it. then cut up the supports for the cabinet of the saw. awile back i was moving the rest of my tools from storage to my sisters place where i'm storing them in kinda of a cramped place. but as i was moving my jointer some how it broke the strap that was holding it and it fell of the trailer wasnt a pretty sight but i wasnt to busted up over it but it sure was. so i salvaged what i could off it, alot of pot metal and few other pieces, it was powered by a 1 1/2 hp motor so i figure i'd use to power the saw. i got acouple pics of the assembly i'll post later. too late now but over all it was great day

its funny story actually i tackled this as my very first scroll saw project my wife had bought an issue of creative wood working and crafts and asked if i knew how to do i said sure why well i think my mom would like it so thats pretty much how my scrolling started i'd always wanted a scroll saw anyway. no its not mine travis i forget who the author is but i've been meaning to do some like it just havent found the time even thou i'm unemployed right now i keep getting people calling for me to do something thanks to everyone else for the nice comments btw it took me 18 hours to scroll it out

that was cut on a 16" wilton with spiral blades thanks for the comments guys

here is the largest cutting i've done so far 23" tall 1/2" birch ply took forever to cut

man that was a great find! good job

thanks Fran it was alot fun taking that from "trunk" to finished project

wow woodworking legend Sam Maloof passed away on March 21, 2009 at age 93 wikipedia article heres a interesting 13 part series of vids on Sam Maloof

i bought the dewalt back in nov of last year. i love the saw compared to other saws i've used but i do have one dislike and thats how the table is mounted it leaves a bit of movement in the saw but really doesnt effect cutting unless using the tilt feature.

I have a Limited amount of Spalted Maple Crotch 5pcs total 24" Length x various widths from 4" to 10" x 3/4" Thick s2s air dried would like to have $3.50/ board foot + shipping pictures to come soon the highly figured pieces like used on realFez's project are uncommon i do have another piece i would like to sell for $15.00 plus shipping size is 8 1/2" x 10" x 1/2" s2s air dried i also have some curly maple off cuts bunch of odd ball sizes some with spalting 7/8" flat sawn Honey locust very good color i think the 14' long x 12" wide would like to have $5.50/ft air dried pictures upon request if you would like some just send me an e-mail at blame582@gmail.com

Awesome job Vector i'd like to do some more pyro work but all my stuff is packed away and i havent had much time lately but will get back to it one of these days

Thanks guys i thought the piece of wood was the perfect fit. i started cutting the walnut for the frame and it just didnt look right to me. so i turned around part of the shorter sides of the frame and thou, Wow! that looks really good, so i then cut the base from a thicker piece of stock and planed it down cut a 15deg 1/2" dado for the plaque to sit in. was a fun project. i've put 2 coats of poly on it so far, waiting for it to dry so i can sand it and apply the 3rd coat.
