Rutgers
Well-known member
First and most importantly, at the tender age of just under four months old Sara "Rubber Ducky" Rutgers said her first word today. Quack Quack (Ok Two words). I couldn't be happier, and there are a lot of people that I've gotta go collect money from tomorrow. When it comes to ducks, never bet against Ol' Rutgers!
Second, a friend has had some interest in one of my decoys and asked if I was interested in a swap. I asked him what he had in mind and he said " a big heavy band saw tall as I am" and sight unseen I told him I'd do it. Today I brought him his decoy and took my first look at the saw. Looks to be from around the end of the war maybe (?) Delta Milwaukee 14 inch saw and REAL heavy. The paint is in rough shape but the saw is in good mechanical shape. I see that a rise van be added, and I saw on a tool restoration thread on a woodworker's forum that a guy got one that had a riser in it, so there must be one out there available. Looks like a lot of guys restore them. As of this morning I'd never given thought to restoring an old machine (not seriously anyhow) due to space mainly but the thought of cleaning this guy up is possessing me!
Anyhow, just wanted to share.
