Yet another project... Power (Arhh arhh) Hack Saw.

Yep, yep...sounds like a neat find. We're looking for the before and after pics now.

You should get a lot of lookers for that $44.75 price. Heck, I might even give it a go. Let me know if you will go lower than that. KIDDING!!! Looking forward to pictures. Larry

And here I forgot to take before pictures! Doh! Didn't think at the time of making a thread on it. But I took some 'today' pictures. And will take some 'after' pictures.

And Larry, I got at least $55 into it now, so will probably have to see about adjusting the Ad price. Let's see, what is $44.75 in 2021 dollars? I just looked... $900.00!!!

I hate it when that happens. Looking very good and can't wait to see the finished product. Larry

Almost got it put together today. Needed to drill a new hole for the drive gear into the new shaft... and that was a tedious setup. But I also applied a few of my typical While I'm At It™ additions. The red areas are lube points. I also had to order a new oil drip cup for the main saw arm. Shoot, that was $12 by itself. This thing is costing me a fortune!

It looks absolutely gorgeous
(looks around for a place to put it, so the wife won't notice.... Nah not a chance)

Roger, does this saw come with the motor??? The ad you showed for $44.75 says without a motor. If yours has the motor then you can charge a lot more without me suing you for false advertising. YOU know I am kidding. The work you are doing with this is just another reminder of not only your abilities but your attention to detail. Beautiful work. Larry

I think it would cost more to ship it to you than it would be to buy it. HA. No worries.

That was beautiful work as always Roger.
there definitely seems to be some money and fun in antique tools if you know what you?re looking at. Have you seen any of these? https://www.jimbodetools.com/collections/whats-new

i found that a few of the hand tools I have from my grandfather are becoming antiques now. I have several of those in the second website in my toolbox.

this could easily become yet one more hobby...

this could easily become yet one more hobby...

Considering my job for years was to build and repair equipment and tools... It's always been a hobby when outside of work. Now it is my work. Not highly profitable yet, but no doubt once I have my shop setup the way I want it I'll be able to crank things out faster. Getting there.

Milling machine now done and I did a full maintenance this weekend on my lathe I can better fix the things needing fixing. I need to get some tooling before I can do much, but making my list now for that.

Those are cool sites too Don. I joined the tool restoration group on FB as well. I have so many collectible tools. Each will get restored and sold at some point, assuming of course I don't decide to use them.
