We came to the realization that great weather is not worth all of the stuff that is wrong.

Excellent frame of mind Les. Nothing to worry about. Just live.

Our closest friends moved to Norman, Ok. We went to visit them last October. Thanks but no thanks. We are heading to Tennessee because we have quite a few friends who have moved there over the last few years. Everything we hear about their experiences is leading us in that direction. I heard many years ago about a family who moved to Bristol and absolutely loved it. Then our neighbors retired about 5 years ago and moved there and bought an old home on 11 acres. They now have a small farm with all the animals. That's not for us. We just want to settle down in a real house with a garage and a little ground to park our RV on. I'll build a shop and everything will be wonderful. Until it's not! Lol.

Very nice Denny. -
That cheap drill press is about to get pricey. I hope they give you a break on the repair. Probably not.

This will be our last adventure. We are very long in the tooth but can't stand it here in California any longer. It's just out of control. And living is so much cheaper in other places. We'll never have to pay rent again. We can buy a nice home on property for what our mobile home is worth here. Crazy!

Eastern Tennessee. Around the Knoxville area.

I haven't gone that far yet Rolf. All of a sudden, my mind has had to switch gears. We have decided to buy a motorhome and we are looking at relocating so I'm in a different mode now.

I want to believe. Believe me. I want to believe. But without pics, as Les always says, "it didn't happen".
-
I barely have room for what I have Doug. No room for a second bandsaw. Or the budget. But, things might be changing. We are thinking hard about moving to Knoxville area. If that happens it will open up many possibilities. Fingers crossed!

Beautiful work Jim.

It's ok to have more than 1 "Box Man".
-
Dave, you are definitely "The Box Man". Another gorgeous creation.
-
We can't believe anything until we see the pics.
-
And I thought that stuff only happened to me. Ha!
-
And a good share of them hang out here.

Look up you serial number on Bushton's site. They have a pretty good listing of them in the manuals section. If you post a picture of your saw, we can determine what you should look for. The number one thing is the motor. If it has a Fasco motor, you may have problems with it down the road. The style of lower blade clamp is another thing. Also, check at the rear where the tensioning is done, look at the "V" notch in the upper arm. See if it has any undue wear. There should also be a nylon washer between the tensioning knob and the "V" wedge that goes into the notch of the upper arm. In the front of saw, it should have a tension lever and upper clamp piece. Make sure that is lubricated well. You can download a manual for it if you didn't get one. Best of luck with your new toy.

Sure is a beautiful setting. You are living the "charmed life".

Deleted. I got you mixed up with Foxfold. Sorry.

I've got a similar drill guide by General but it is pretty sloppy. I'd go with the one Les has if accuracy is primary.

I did run across a video that deals with the darkening a bit. Here's the link.

Dick, when I took the marquetry class, one of the things that he included in the kit I bought was a small hand turned countersink. It's a very small one. Might even have been a Dremel bit. Anyway, my point is, after drilling, we used that countersink to do just what you said. It creates a divot that really help to get the blade through the hole.

This subject brings to mind a question regarding the changing shades of padauk. I have been told that it will grow ever darker if exposed to much light. Is there any kind of UV protector that can be used on wood to stop this from happening?
-
Travis can probably figure out a way. Right Travis?

After all the talk regarding bandsaws recently, I thought I'd ask a question in a new topic. I have a Delta 28-206 band saw and I'm thinking about adding the 6" riser block to it. I found this one from Woodstock and I was wondering if anybody on SSV has ever bought/installed one of them on a Delta saw. I think the only real difference in any of the blocks offered by different suppliers is the pin/pin hole locations. I don't see that it would be too difficult to redrill the holes but I thought I'd ask here first. The price is far better than buying the Delta unit. Thanks for any and all advice.
