I had to do a little unexpected traveling. More about that when I am less pooped.<\/p>\n<p>I want to announce that I got the mobile base for my giant Powermatic 66 saw finished. It was a pain, but I did it. I don&#8217;t just mean putting the frame together and adding wheels, which I already bragged about. Now I have the brakes and levelers on.<\/p>\n<p>If you buy one of these things, do yourself a huge favor and find a way to hoist your saw and lower it into the base. It has a whole bunch of bolts that go into nuts which are on the inside of the frame, against the saw. It&#8217;s not easy getting them all installed and tightened. And when you get to the levelers, you will find that some of the holes you used for the structural bolts are really leveler holes (they don&#8217;t point this out in the instructions), so you have to take these bolts out with your saw sitting in the frame, and then you have to put the levelers in.<\/p>\n<p>It is not fun.<\/p>\n<p>Later this week, the planer will arrive. After that, I will have nearly no excuse for not building something. So you know what that means.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll have to start working really hard on a new excuse.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been reading Doug Stowe&#8217;s Basic Box Making book. I am becoming a fan of this guy, the way teenage girls used to be fans of the Beatles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Help me Park This Thing Sorry about the hiatus yesterday.
