    You must have surprised him Dick. He doesn't look happy. Lol.

    They both look like good durable switches. When I was looking for one, neither of those came up. So far, I'm happy with the H/F switches that I have. Even the one that came with my Ex was in a Ex box and it appears to be identical to the H/F.

    I just find it easier to use the foot switch to operate the saw. It allows me to hold the work with both hands. Both of my switches are H/F momentary switches. I would not want a click on - click off switch. As stated above when a blade breaks or the wood jumps I want instant off by lifting my foot. Another thing is if my foot switch wears out, I'm still in business using the saws switch. No down time. You can buy a nice low profile foot switch from Hegner. Not sure of the price but I would not be without a foot switch. If you go back to the first post in this thread I explained how to "fix" these switches.

    1918? That's a good long time without repair. Wow!

    Very nice! Great pattern.

    Yes, but I paid under $20 for each of the 2 I bought.

    I'm almost done with my new stand and it will have a self-contained vac w/muffler and the tiny little cyclone in a 2 lb. coffee cannister. I'm happy to hear how well yours works.

    It's called life. Just remember, there is/was only one perfect person. EVER!

    You got notified that I "reacted" to your question. Not that I answered it. From what I could see, it seems that your "x'ed" areas are meant to be removed. But I'd have to really study the rest of it to know what/where to cut. I don't do that fretwork so someone more knowledgeable than me will give you better advice.

    I read/heard recently that you don't want to center the blade on the wheels. The correct way, I heard is to put the deepest part of the gullet in the center with the teeth a bit closer the outside of the wheel.

    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".
  21. OCtoolguy
    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".
  24. OCtoolguy
    Dave, you are definitely "The Box Man". Another gorgeous creation.
  25. OCtoolguy
    We can't believe anything until we see the pics.
