  2. Lathe Tool Holder

    I didn't have anywhere to store my lathe tools, so I decided to build a carousel that will hold 16 tools. I used a mic stand and some scraps from the scrap bin. An old skateboard wheel allows the holder to spin.
  3. Home built Monster Bandsaw Log Mill First Log Trial cut milestone with a few things we found to fix

    Not really a long posting tonight , I'm exhausted, and I need to get back to the shop and work on something that has to ship soon. But, this was too exciting of a day to not toot my horn a little. The rest of the week, and next week will be so busy, that if I don't do it tonight, I may not get...
  4. Pair of Monster Vises

    Around a year ago I noticed the build of a wooden vise by John Heisz. I found this interesting and made some feeble attempts to create one myself. But I could not get the dimensions right and lost interest all too quickly. Then some weeks ago I discovered the Sketchup plans some kind fellow...
  5. Have parts, build wagon! (The unpainted edition)

    Hello friends, it has surely been awhile. Somehow life just moves forward and sometimes projects have to sit. Here is a sort of part one for this fall/winter season. I am hoping for the painted edition to take life in the spring of 2015 when time and weather provides a little more for doing...

    Hi All, re-tiring bandsaw wheels costs here a fortune, so I was looking for alternative. I found some companies makes urethane tire and was wondering if anybody had good/bad experience with them. any input will be appreciated.

    I bought a used BS on CL with the original rubber tires. They are in decent shape. The bottom tire has a bit of a ridge but I think I can let it ride (pun intended). I've cleaned them and my question is should I crown them ? If so how much?

    My bandsaw started tossing the upper tire and, yesterday, tossed the bottom one. After six or seven years, I guess it was time to replace them. I ordered a set off Amazon and was both looking forward to replacing them and dreading it. I'd read several posts about the complication of installing...

    Hello Everyone, My name is Wes. I am new to the website. I am pretty sure this is on the site somewhere. I have an old delta/homecraft 10" bandsaw. I struggle to keep the blade on the wheels. The bottom wheel doesn't have a tire and the the top tire is dry rotted and almost nonexistent. I...

    Hey all, first post here. I'm in a jam and need some advice. I bought my first bandsaw from a guy off of OfferUp. It's a Tradesman (Craftsman's step-child) 10" three-wheel bandsaw. I was skeptical, but the guy sold it to me for $20 bucks, so how could I refuse. I've used it for several projects...

    My little Rockwell, 14" band saw, model 28-243 needs new tires. I has the original black rubber tires on it. The tires need replacing and are slipping. I want to go to Urethane tires, but I have found them in both .75" wide and 1'' wide. I have read reviews where the .75" wide tires create a...

    I have an old 14" Boice Crane band saw - I'm thinking mid 1950's vintage - that I would really like to use. I replaced the dry rotted rubber tires with some urethane tires a while back. While trying to resaw a 6 inch piece of white oak recently I noticed some flecks of orange material mixed in...

    Hey guys, thanks for all the "welcomes" and ya I will be around from time to time. I just got an old 12 Beaver Band Saw. Welded up a new stand for it tall enough for a guy 6'3". I think I have a problem with the tires though. They are chewed up and out of round. So much so that when I run...

    Ridgid Bandsaw Tire Replacement Having sold my tablesaw to my dad and not having 220 (for my new tablesaw) in my garage yet, I'm at a standstill. Project wise that is. So I figured this would be a good time to tinker around with my bandsaw. I bought it in late November and haven't used it...

    Hey all, I'm currently tuning up a Rockwell 14 bandsaw that I got from CL for $50. (Hoo-rah!) The tires are ok, but do have some depressions in them, and are the original rubber. I figure while I've got the thing in service, so to speak, it might be time to put on some urethane tires. A quick...
