Thanks J and Bill! ?Sorry if there were duplicate emails. I had to cut the pics down to just 2 because I kept getting a "too big" error.? Darren

Nice work Darren!
That¡¯s now a good looking saw, and it¡¯s a US built tool.
It will no doubt serve you well! Of all the tools in my shop, my band saw is used more than any. It¡¯s almost always the place I have to start, to cut pieces of stock to build
things.
When you get your lathe, here¡¯s a good project: A power down hydraulic cylinder for your saw.
They make life easier when you cut small parts & pieces, and thin-wall tubing¡.you don¡¯t have to control the down speed manually with one, which saves on not only terrorizing
parts, but blades as well.

Very Nice!

Well, it's finally finished. Tha is to all of your help but special thanks to JV and Bill. With all of y'all's help it looks great, functions smoothly, and was a fun refurb. Time to find a new project. I will be getting an old Wade 8a lathe
soon. Time to put the saw to work cutting some stock to use in the lathe. :)
Note: I'll be finishing up a doc on the parts, pieces, and sources. Once completed,? I'll upload it here. Hopefully it helps someone in the future.?
