Thanks everyone for your views and suggestions. Yesterday I printed out the Webster plans and have started compiling a list of materials I need to get started. It will probably take me quite awhile to get much done to post any kind of progress. I seem to always have about 15 projects going at...

I broke down and purchased a new band saw from HF last week and have been using it quite a bit. I went through and did all the adjustments from the 4x6 yahoo group and it seems to work great. Everything I have read says to replace the blade with a good one and ditch the one that came with it...

I think my next machine project will be a I.C. engine. I am debating between the Webster and the PowerHouse. One of my eventual goals is to build the Farm Boy Hit-&-Miss so I was thinking I should make the PowerHouse to get familiar with Jerry E. Howell plans, but I have seen some great write...

Nice recovery! Looks like you are getting along well.

Milotrain it sounds like you have a good potential to help people out and make few extra bucks in the process. Also if you do come up with the info for the metal supply company that would be spectacular. Thanks, Chris.

Did anyone else click on milotrain's profile to see if their location was posted? ;D I wish I could find a place like that close to me.

Welcome Kevin! I grew up just up the road from you in Burlington Kansas. Unfortunately I no longer reside in the great state of Kansas. My family still lives in Burlington as they have for generations so I do make it back that way from time to time. Welcome aboard, Chris.

I am glad you all enjoyed the pictures. Last year when I went it was my first time and I was in such awe that I forgot to take pictures. By the time I remembered there were too many people to try to go back through and take some. So this year I made sure to take lots of pictures. I am just happy...

Here are a lot of pictures from Cabin Fever this Sunday. I couldn't make it on Saturday so all I have is Sunday photos. There are a lot of pictures so I will try to just link my photobucket album. I hope this work and if it does enjoy, Chris...

I couldn't make it there today. Will there be very many exhibitors tomorrow/Sunday? I am planning to drive the 2-3 hours and don't want to get there a 9am to a empty building. Last year I made it there on Saturday and enjoyed myself but this year I have a Saturday class at school and couldn't...

I just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to take pictures and document your progress, Thanks, Chris.

I am not sure of the thickness or size of the Corian that you need, but Home Depot has samples in their kitchen design area here in the states. That is their acrylic counter top that they sell. If you have a big orange box store in your area you might stop in and see.

Hello enginebob, I have no experience with the machine but I did see that one is for sale down by you I believe. I don't know anything about it but here is a link. http://fredericksburg.craigslist.org/tls/1784833819.html

Today I worked on tramming the mill. I think it went ok, it was really hard to get it be the same reading when I would swing the arm side to side. I am not sure but I believe the table is a little lower in the back than it is in the front. Is there a way to go about fixing this? I went ahead and...

;D Those are the little buttons that screw onto the bottom of the vise. I think they are supposed to help keep it square in the track, but I really don't know how to mount the vise yet.

Today I went to work on cleaning up the red stuff. I have a feeling that I will find that red stuff for years to come. I also adjusted the gibs and oiled the flat surfaces with way oil. I also broke in the spindle. While the spindle was breaking in I unpacked some of the boxes of stuff I...

Doubletop, I am ready to get started on something, but I am still a long ways away from making chips but I have made some progress. Here are some pictures of the progress. I ended up moving one of the outlets under the table and put a waterproof cover on it. I also put a waterproof cover on the...

Thank you doubletop for the link I had not found that one yet. I broke down today and bought a cherry picker or some call it a shop crane to help get the mill up there. I may still have to do it in pieces as I am not sure that I will have enough height to clear the table all together. Hopefully...

Thanks doubletop, the mill came in and is sitting in the garage now, it is bigger than I thought it would be. I am doing some mods to make it safer for me and others and hopefully more user friendly. Here a couple of pictures for now.

doubletop and lordedmond thank you for looking out for me, I do appreciate it very much. I am still a little embarrassed about the outlets, I am normally pretty quick to see mistakes like that. doubletop this is the link to my workbench ( http://www.whalenstorage.com/products/workbench.html ) it...
