New Member Introduction

Hello Teresa and welcome.

Sounds like you have a nice setup. What kind of car is it that must come in? Sounds like something much loved.

I have the G0555 as well and just did some resawing of my own. I’ll have to look at the fence you made. I still have to play with mine some.

yah, I’m curious about the “baby” as well :)

Re: fine tuning sounds like it has really made a difference (not only to your woodworking but to your life—wow, a whole day on one task? Boy THAT”S Patience!!!

Hi Bob and Debbie,

I am fortunate to have accumulated a pretty decent shop over the last several years. Nothing special about the car other than it belongs to my roomate and she is VERY particular about it. It is a very nice Toyota Avalon with all the bells and whistles. But nothing classic or anything, but relatively new.

The bandsaw functions as it should now as opposed to the first time I used it without doing all the upfront work. The fine tuning included cleaning it from top to bottom, new blade, table maintenance, wheel alignment, new wheel brush installed, cleaning and resetting the guides, etc. It was probably overkill but now I know that machine inside and out.

Next up is running all those resawed pieces over the jointer, through the planer, and then I’ll test the setup of my new Jet drum sander.

Thanks for the welcome,

TJ

We have a whole lot of wannabes on here. (Like me! :-D )

Then we have some really good woodworking, genius types on here. All types of great woodworking folks on “board” the LumberJocks web site.

I have learned a lot from them I am glad and proud to say.

You always learn from your trials and errors along life’s highway….on here you can learn from somebody else’s errors!

You can find out a lot about tools from people who have tried or used them as well. The good, bad and….well the ugly, etc…

Curiouser and curiouser…we have the same bandsaw and the same car….mines a few years older though. 200K miles and it’s still the most comfortable car I’ve ever driven.

I know what you mean about the satisfaction that comes from a well set up machine. It is great to see those clean, straight cuts after tweaking the machinery.

Thanks, everyone!

Bob, that car is the smoothest ride and an easy drive.

I tackled the planer last night. Cleaned up, blades changed, rollers cleaned. This is the first time I’ve had it apart. It’s always eye-opening to me to actually see how the machines work.

Gona get that jointer next!

Hope everyone has a great weekend.
