They were steam engine castings. However no web site. No simple plans or finished photos. Guess it's going to be a bit more challenging than expected

What's life without challenges?

Forgive me for asking, but what is it?I have been wanting one of these ever since my local supplier went out of business. The only blades I can get now have to be ordered on line. I picked this up for $150 and it came with a roll of blade stock.

Blade welder for bandsaw blades.
I went to Home Depot this morning and bought 2 pcs. of 4 x 4 x 1/4" plywood, and 6 3/4" x 6" PT pine boards, and a 10' piece of drain pipe. I used about a third of the wood. All the boards and plywood came out of the cull box they have at the store. The total for all came out to be a little over $19, and I finally made a storage rack for all the material that I keep for other projects.
Bought myself a new dust mask. I produce a lot of metal and sawdust fines and need to protect my lungs! I have noticed the dust seems to be bothering me more than in the past so I have become far more diligent about dust collection and avoidance.

Did finally get to look at it, Missing some parts or something besides the instructions. Would have though that more of it would be cast than just that. (all the more now you need stuff to cast more parts for it., more reasons to buy stuff.)

That sounds vaguely erotic.
