    Up dated picture of Rehab of Delta Unisaw.

    Here it is in all of it resplendent glory so far.

    I still need to do a lot of work.

    Looking good Bart. I'm not sure about the blood red accents though...
    Please help support the Creek.

    Hi Bruce

    Actually the color is safety red & it has a little orange in it.


    I'll be covering the hole where the switch was because I'll mount the switch on the bottom side of the fence guide rail on the left side of the saw. This will allow for standing on the left to guide wide material through the saw & still be able to turn the saw on & off. I'll make a system on the saw that will allow me to shut it off most anywhere along the front of the saw.

    You post was good for a laugh though.

    I agree with Bruce, the saw is sweet, but the red - ouch...

    Looks great Bart and you've come a long way with it.

    Those colors almost look like Craftsman colors

    You know, Bart...you could continue that red up in some little flames or something...

    Seriously, nice job. This is a wonderful project and will give you a great saw to work with.

    Bart -

    Looks like you are making good progress.

    With all that grey and red - are you an Ohio State fan or something?

    Regards,
    Ted

    Sorry Ted I've never been interested in any kind of sports. You might call me a spoil sport I think it a big waste of time & money. Now something like The New Yankee Workshop or American Wood Shop or Woodwright Shop if I'm going to watch someone do something on TV nows thats good sports.

    Well Guys Jim Becker asked for red & I tried to please so I guess you can blame him HE He He .

    Thanks for all the great comments.

    I have done so much with so little for so long I am now qualified to do anything with nothing......

    P.S. If you are interested in plans for any project that I post, just put some money in an envelope and mail it to me and I will keep it.

    Some of the sail powered warships of days gone by, used to have their decks painted red. It got the men accustomed to the sight of blood during battle.
