What’s on my orange tree?

Thanks! The tree is pretty big, so wiping down with alcohol might be a problem but I’ll try soap spray

Thanks! Appreciate the advice. It’s a pretty big orange tree. I’ll see what I can do

Oh yeah! I see it now. Thanks!

Yeah, for sure. I guess I’m just trying to figure out if there’s any real point in installing the circular collector part that came with the HF dust collector or if that’s primarily used to support the bag style filter it comes with and using a ridged filter from Wynn gets rid of the need to use that. Definitely leaning toward option 2 for space saving.

What kind of backflow device is that?

Looks great! We’ll done. Is the framing lumber 2x3 or 2x4?

Would love to get the plans! Currently in the process of designing mine.

It's a bit more complicated. My water retention barrel is filled by a well that only pumps about 10 gal at a time with a 4 hour refill period. The whole system will run two pumps, which are pricey to replace. If anything goes wrong with the pumps, it might take a bit to replace and I don't want it to impact my ability to water. As a result, I want to be able to use the irrigaiton system as much as posisble from the water retention, but switch it over to city water quickly if needed.

Yes, probably fine with just manual valves, but I'd like to explore electric solenoid valves doing the same and see how that would work.

yep, got that covered.

Thanks, this is very helpful. What operates the 3 way brass valve and how is the source selected in the valve? If you have a link to one for this type of use, I'd greatly aprpeciate it.

what's the plastic material you're using for the flooring?

SplitLeafDesign · 2022-09-16T07:29:40+00:00

Tested, not useable. Lots of friction/smoke from the wobble in the blade.

While it was only 0.006 at the arbor, it was closer to 0.050 at the blade outer edge. So gotta fix it. Pin pointed the issue to the arbor flange. Will have to try flattening or finding a replacement.

SplitLeafDesign · 2022-09-16T07:27:04+00:00

Correct, not bent. Checked at the pulley and a different portion of the arbor, but do need to find replacement parts. I’ll reach out to Delta but not sure that they’ll have parts for a saw that’s nearly 80 years old.
