Now the technical phase of this project........
My favorite ....."Pattern Making".......
I had to design the bottom enclosure for the Moak and make it with keeping the original design aspect in mind. I changed a few things but there was a reasoning behind that. When I got this band saw.... after restoring it there were a few things that were not write, tin for the top-and it had bond on it so thats getting replaced, had to straighten the rim- was slightly askew- not any more. The bottom enclosure was basically jury rigged to get it to look pretty and functional...it's all getting replaced. The original dust chute that was made was not designed correctly and i could not go to a 45 degree angle because of this.. I had to remove it every time i wanted a 45. Not that it was a pain, more so a nuisance ....
Anyhow,
I am off to the plasma cutters Wednesday with my DFX cad drawing for the plasma cutter. it is all getting 1/8" steel plate for all the individual parts for the enclosure and the upper door panel...
Interesting project....
the other 3 will be a LOT easier.... no fabrication required......hopefully.......
Ok....Here we Go!!!!

Still enjoying the pictures a lot! I know how much trouble this level of documentation is and it is appreciated.
Of all the laws Brandolini's may be the most universally true.
Deep thought for the day:
Your bandsaw weighs more when you leave the spring compressed instead of relieving the tension.
Welding is all completed for the enclosure, just have to weld the 3 hinges on (with pins-) . I took some snappers of the CNC plasma cutter.... man, i would LOVE to have one of these..., the things I could do......
I'll be back on the enclosure for the finishing phase this week...
Here we go........
