Band saw number 2

My personal projects always tend to get pushed aside and gather dust for some months. I've been meaning to finish up a band saw restore, but i halted at crowning the tires. My last band saw's tires where tedious and harry, so I've been avoiding the task. But at the time of my discouragement i lacked a disk sander, what a difference the right tool can make.



With the tires crowned and some new bearings my 14" Walker Turner from 1948 is finally done.



Best friends!

  2. the disc sander actually came from Boeing in Seattle, i did some poaching. Its a 24" Max, you should see it sharpen a pencil! I can't complain Kelowna has provided my table saw, shaper, and Walker turner band saw.
