Worked fine for me til the hose leaked on my vac tester, darn near tore that saw all down again spraying all suspect places with soapy water, no leak could be found until suds sliding down the hose started bubbling. Darn hose, came off my 1964 Chev truck, was a vacuum hose or windshield washer fluid hose, should have lasted much longer.....LOL

God the last time I used the mity vac that happened to me. Couldn't find the leak on the saw anywhere. And man was it leaking air. LOL accidentally squirted some soapy water on the hose and it had a large crack. Cut it shorter and it worked great. No air leak on the Saw hahaha
 
Gawd I hate when stuff like that happens!!!! That ranks right up there with doing woodworking......my usual problem occurs when I have to do something nearly impossible and I focus so much on that part, which I ace, then find I've something totally stupid or had inchitis and cut the whole thing an inch short, rendering the impossible work just firewood. It's something I might fire a helper for doing.......or at least brow beat for years....

Years ago my friend Mikey and I were building several very intricate staircases in the shop......Mikey was working on a curved piece of cherry base moulding.....roughed it out on the bandsaw, hand planed to fit the base skirtboard perfect.....made a jig to keep it square going through the moulder.....and had set up a router table with a straight bit to make the top parallel to the perfectly fit bottom......it came out beautiful...about 4 feet long....standard base mould to fit base the mould at the top and bottom of stairs . He was standing the admiring his finished work......fondling and inspecting....suddenly he fumbled the piece.....it fell right onto the still running router bit turning 28,000 rpm...the piece exploded in chips and was launched across the shop into a cement wall........all I could say was....."Well you know how to do it now"........that was in the old shop....the piece still sits on top of the TimeSaver in the new shop.......Mikey thinks I keep it to embarrass him......not so......I keep it to remind us all that losing track of what your doing, even for an instant can be catastrophic........luckily it was only wood...not body parts....

It's crazy how fast something can happen eh? Id take work or equipment getting damaged and not people anyday too. Sometimes it's miraculous that someone didn't get hurt in some things I've seen LOL
 
It's junk , I run over it with the truck , and used it as ballast in a saltwater boat ....
LOL


It's not in bad shape , polly run 5 hours in the last 8 years , I'll dig it out and get some pics this weekend , might even find a nice Sandvik or Windsor bar to go with , I figure it should be worth a hunret Merican at least , it does run :)
 
You'll have to do wait till tomorrow , just a 630 I think, nuthin special , I can get a Sharpie and write XPEE or WestCoast Supah Dupah on it if you want ?

No that's awright.......you'd probably try and turn it into an OH630 anyway.....
 
They've got a new ferry service up from Portland to Yarmouth , when I heard the ticket price I knew Robin would be driving LOL

I heard that as well, knew right away this setup won`t attract many tourists, slow trip and spendy. No commercial trucks allowed so that spells another year running a ferry in the ,red!
