I realized that there aren’t any good photos of the complete tools on the site, so here we go.
Drill press. Front. I’ve decided that I need to correct the orientation of the switch. Drill press. Side view Band saw front. Cabinet still needs drawer pulls, a cover for the electrical compartment and a guard for the drive belt. Drill press rear. Work light is a sewing machine light mounted on some pipe fittings. Band saw side – exposed electrical compartment.
Electric compartment. All wires are secured so they don’t get caught in the drive belt.
With a bachelors degree in history, I turn wrenches for a living. I’m most at peace when I hear the wind in the trees or the gurgle of a brook. I’m a believer in the Renaissance Man, as epitomized by DaVinci engineer, artist, soldier, statesman. As Heinlein said, “A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyse a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”
