got the woodworking machinery placed and set up. Used digital level to make sure tables were level to .02,
wiped all the exposed machined or chromed steel down with some all purpose oil as a barrier against moisture and corrosion.
Which this garage has plenty of. Turned them all on, no unusual noises or vibration, then cleaned up the mess and put away all the tools.
most of assembly was with a compact Bosch cordless driver running an adapter and then a nut socket, the same size of which was thankfully the same
though out several items.
Main work table is height adjustable so I can make changes there if needed. Wanted to stand more upright so higher work surfaces work better for me.
The chair looks nice but has no back support so I'll continue to use the plastic chairs. 12.99 at True Value on sale.
First time I twisted on hose into one of the two vacuum ports on the table sander,
the thin plastic case at the end of the long belt cracked with a SNAP.
You have to be kidding me...
Hard to see but thin white line in photo from top of port to left of plastic. Nice three inch crack but the whole thing is intact.
This will make for an interesting gluing project, might need to see if I can get that plastic piece off the machine as dripping glue inside
a power sander can't end well.
This is a very heavy sander but they skimped on plastic it seems for the belt guard. Of course, I did torque/bend it a little. Not much.
Not enough for snapping sounds...
There should have been more reinforcing plastic near the outlet, build some strength into the "structure" but clearly someone was trying to make this
as thin as possible. Follow the money.
Drill press has dual axis laser and is simply a decent quality Wen drill. I don't need a CNC guided fabricator to drill a hole in cedar boards for bird feeders...
So this will do nicely.
My goal is to build bird feeders and bird houses for all my extended family this Christmas.
I'd better get a move on.
But not tonight...
back hurts, good thing I'm seeing a Rothman surgeon tomorrow for a consult.
Maybe if I get a bird feeder up here, I'll get some bird pictures too.
