Holiday work

Time off and getting a lot done. Whole week to bring projects up to speed.


New hardware for trailer assembly, local supplier provided Grade 9 hardware to replace the old stuff . Not going to be stranded down old washboard and dirt roads with a broken bolt. $20 got it all.
  

Assembling everything before final paint





Repaint necessary after everything is fit together


Done and all straight



New fenders mounted


Rack mounts bolted in place and will allow removal of racks.


Got some work done on the jointer. Bearings pressed on cutterhead, table blasted clean ready for final assembly and paint


New tapered sheaves, no more keys. Will be perfectly smooth turning around 4000 rpm.


Motor sheave new and matched to cutterhead to provide correct rpm


1hp Leeson motor will provide lots of power
