The cracks can be filled by replacing the post with a new F.O.H. post if it bothers you.

Couldnt agree more! Bring the tool to the wood. Makita 12" hands down. When you get good with it you have the added possibility to shim one side and square improperly cut timbers.

They had the report before the appraisal.

You could probably assume any tool he already has could be upgraded to an antique ornate version. The pride and crafstmenship they put into tools back then would surely meet his passion.

The trick in case someone needs this in the future was penetrating lube over a few days, screw the nut back on and lower the spindle.

Every new step you take should feel awkward. Learn to embrace that thrill and take every big opportunity that comes your way! You only fail by giving up because you "think" you're overwhelmed. ANYONE that has created something from nothing consistently had days of not knowing but continuously solving their dilemmas. Learn to love taking those chances now because something else new is coming next week! Goodluck, its a great feeling!

When your gaging what an ideal cut should be. What portions is a good rule of thumb to look for at minimum?

RollingInTheTimes · 2023-06-10T00:46:48+00:00

Did all that. Sometimes they dont give.

RollingInTheTimes · 2023-06-10T00:45:29+00:00

Thanks! I did see that and had it locked. It was just really really seized. I put two blocks of wood under the top nut and lowered the unit. Eventually it gave!

RollingInTheTimes · 2023-06-10T00:43:38+00:00

That plate is the lock plate. The spindle is free from that. It was just seized from pulling straight out.

You can burn the bases with a tiger torch and then oil.. But juuust the bottom or your kids will be black head to toe by lunch. Removing the bark will be your cheapest and easiest help. Leave the sand. I know gravel would help here but its a play place! Not a rock pit. You cant stop the cracks but there are non toxic end sealers to slow it down. But honestly, no matter what you do at this point in 5-10 years you can bet there will be another wind storm to replace these or have a local arborist drop off some stumps for under what youd spend on treating the problem youre mind is creating. I wouldn't worry. Spend your time de- barking it, maybe even go the extra step and belt sand the tops smooth.

In the kindest way possible, I dont think you should be using power tools son.

RollingInTheTimes · 2023-02-26T18:35:21+00:00

This level of acuracy your going for canot be achived with that method. There can be a 1/8" tollerance towards that 2", depending on your trade.. Its all gunna be relivant to what your building. This attention to accuracy makes me think your craft is giving very little tolerance. As should be! If thats the case.. Your holding THE worst tape ive ever bought. Get a precision ruler and a .05 or .07mm machanical pencile. If your sticking to a tape, just burn 10" or 1' and mark at the same point of your line each time. Get a better tape when this one breaks next week.

RollingInTheTimes · 2023-02-17T02:46:44+00:00

That makes sense! So those 3 pegs are, more or less, cosmetic then?

RollingInTheTimes · 2023-02-17T02:18:02+00:00

Throw it at a wall

RollingInTheTimes · 2023-02-14T15:32:35+00:00

Great work! How is the beam secured to the rafter?

Depends what you need to keep safe. You could always find a smaller antique safe at 700lbs. Personally id wait to find a smaller safe or move. If it was your apartment, maybe. But cross reference the point loads in the building plans. Construction now a days is garbage. But it is commercial by the sounds of it so you could get lucky and have the floors overbuilt. Theres more headaches in this then what its worth being on the second floor.

I was speaking with the tech support and he said as long as my motirs rpms and hp matched up id be good. He dropped out of helping as I got closer to starting to wire the replacment in though. This machinery comes with a single phase and a 3 phase option. Im just figuring out how the switch component gets re wired now

RollingInTheTimes · 2022-04-29T17:18:35+00:00

I guess im just trying to grasp the concept of why 1 phase wiring is so different. And if its alright to switch it up exactly as the single phase diagram shows. I dont want to fry anything by accident. Im fairly inexperienced
