You had me at bacon jam :giggle:

I'm sure that by tomorrow the cold and wet EC weather will have moved on into Joburg, and left the EC clear and sunny :ROFLMAO:

The correct bearings for the table saw finally arrived Saturday evening. So today I installed them. I also machined down the drag / slide for the tilt-lock using a small fine file. Now when I lock the tilt-lock it doesn't move at all. I also found that the paste wax was the wrong stuff to use...

Thanks Willie, that's the plan!

The pics... I purposefully didn't attach the motor yet. I know the motor works, and attaching it is easy. But knowing that the bearings on the arbor are shot, I don't want to run it and chace it that they sieze up and destroy the arbor or the housings. I have just ordered the correct...

On Monday (Labor Day) I first cut the grass and did the weed eating and other chores. But at about 1pm Amazon showed up with my bearings! I did the visual "eyecrometer" test, and they failed. :mad: See if you can spot the difference? The outside diameter is the same, but the inside diameter...

That pic of the young lady with the beer gonna get you a ban boet, rather take it down...

Lekker! We has a pork belly slow-roasted in the oven for supper! There is enough left over for at least three more meals :love:

I went ahead and stripped the table saw down to the last nut and bolt. I found a couple of issues, the two bearings that the blade shaft runs on were very dry and rumbly, and the pulley that runs on the v-belt from the electric motor didn't have a woodruff key in it! I tried to use my vernier...

Monday is Labor Day, so we have a long weekend! But the weather is kak, raining / drizzling on and off. So no mowing the lawn until that clears up, not that I am complaining. As of late I have felt like my mojo has gone. No energy, and no interest in doing things in my shed. But Saturday...

Ooh! :eek: Looks like when the hurricanes come over us here. Stay dry boet!

Thanks for all the birthday wishes guys & girls! It was a good day for me. I took the day off work. This morning I had booked a massage for my back which was amazing, the lady got into all the nots and aches and I felt so much better when I left. The Mrs. Zog and I went to the Outback...

So this storm is currently sitting right over Cuba, just dumping tons of rain. It will slowly move North over the very hot waters of the Gulf of Mexico and develop into a tropical storm. Storm Debby will then turn right and lash Florida with a bunch of rain and some high gusts of wind. We will...

Whereabouts?

Hannes I am sorry that things aren't working out between you and the missus. But I am also really glad that you guys are able to separate amicably for the sake of the kids. I foresee a lovely little "plot" out there in the bush, that you will develop and make liveable and comfortable. A place...

Now that would make a brilliant mini camper van!

My thought too...

So yesterday this happened... Before After We got an arborist in to trim the big old Sweet Maple tree. It was just getting too big, and it is starting to drop branches in the storms. Problem is, there was a very big, very heavy branch that was going to fall directly onto my workshop...

I would use the RTV. Sparingly as you described. 👍

I thought about fiberglass... Might still give it a try.
