that fine looking stand you crafted Lee
lots of little things to keep ya busy
a large space to do it in
which I suppose requires it own attentions
altho it is desert so somewhat maintenance free ha

mohs it would be fab'n if I got them slab'n. Maintenance free eh? 500 ft of drip hose plus at least 250 of 1/8 inch and countless drippers all in trenches, after about 150' of 1/2 " pvc, 3 timers. Have to dig one up and run another alongside with timer #4 it now because there's more drippers on that section than the flow capacity of the timer. Probably pulled up 300# of Palmers amaranth and tossed over the fence to the neighbors sheep and goats. Now it's goat head and globe chamomile patrol, noxious crap and it looks like maybe more rain tonight? I'll have to post Elizabeths artistic drain rock swale soon, probably won't be needed for about 10 months but it's pretty cool.

Covington came through with the flange and I was ready to add oil and try a cut, then...
Arbor bearings appear to be gone, so more delay to find bearings and rebuild it. While I'm disassembling I'll probably rebush the feed screw too.
Oh well

Well, that was embarrassing... I took it all apart and replaced arbor and feed screw bearings, fired it up and "screeeeeeeeeee!" The bushing on the idler pulley for the feed belt was dry and making the noise. Oh well, good news is it's totally rebuilt now. OH HAPPY DAY!   All that's left is the door on the cabinet and a little fabricated latch hardware, but it's cuttin rox!!! Now the HP 14/16" saw. Hey Tony catmandewe got a spare one of these?  |

Called the HP Texas # to reach the girl in China who is checking with the warehouse in MA to see if their strap is the same dimensions or close.
Maybe start a HP renewal thread soon. This one will go a lot deeper, probably maybe even a PAINT JOB...

I will verify after work. |

I ordered one from HP, now to see if it fits. I hear the square rail parts fit since their saws are copies to the same dimensions. If not they will take it back as long as I don't try to make it fit.

I got one from them to fix a saw that got damaged in shipping, the dimensions were right but the bolt holes didnt line up so it was a matter of drilling the holes out larger and using a big washer to make it work.
