Electric I am upgrading to an ac electric system with a lithium battery. A future project this year or next is to build a solar system that can run a few essentials and charge the cart. Then I can power my cart and never have to pay for energy 😁.

Current state of my golf cart I have been working on tearing it down to restore and make it a farm car to last the next 30+ years. It has been fun so far.

I started a new YouTube channel for learning #rustlang https://youtube.com/@GoRust-bf8bi it is a weekly livestream on Mondays where I journey through learning rust. It has

Been fun the last 3 weeks. If anyone is interested check it out.

I am curious where I’ll be in learning at the end of the year.

Thanks. I have since found a problem with it that requires a tweak. lol

Thanks been busy so I just kind of forget lol.

Hello 👋 been a while since I have been on here. I need to get back on here more.

I finally finished making my magnetic bandsaw fence. Yay for 3d printers.

In my journey of getting this grizzly bandsaw back up and going. I needed a fence, so I decided to see about making a magnetic fence. It worked out great.

Both magnets have 180lbs of downard force each. They are securly fastned to the powertec extruded aluminum.

I did some test cutting tonight for my YouTube video and it worked great. I can't wait to finish up the bandsaw table, and put the bandsaw to work. I have some christmas presents to make.

I have a new video up where I tweak my new $100 dust collector and I teat the CFM to know what performance it actually gets. This is a start to more videos as I build out this dust collector.

Worked on the heater in the camper and every time I work on the camper I wonder how these things stay together. They are so cheaply and terribly made. I got the heater working at least.

In the picture you can see the water line in the back laying over the top of the heater. I feel like this is a bad idea if something goes wrong with the heater.

I was able to get a harbor freight dust collector for $100 on Facebook marketplace. Here is step one of the modifications I am going to do.

I don’t have time to do a lot at one time so I am going to do a series of videos where I make changes and test effectiveness.

First step is to switch to a single port instead of a Y.

I will also say 3D Printing has changed how I look at projects and customizations.

Stay tuned.

I am excited to see how things look when I am done using it.

I published a new YouTube video on my recent workbench build. It will be a great workbench moving forward.

Thanks. No, about halfway through I was really wishing I had one. It was a semi spur of the moment thing before it starts raining all next week. I knew it was going to suck, but needed to get it done before I couldn’t.

The last few days the rain has gone north and south of us. Leaving is high and dry. We need some dang rain. Lol

So I abused the crap out of my greenworks electric chainsaw and cut a part of a cedar tree into some thick slabs to make some Christmas presents.

This cedar tree was cutdown over 7 years ago, and I finally decided to get it slabbed. I don’t have an Alaskan mill or anything. I just used some brain power time and got the slabs.

Flat is not a thing with these so there is going to be a lot of work on the bandsaw, jointer and planer.

My ultimate goal is to turn these into jewelry boxes for my daughters made from wood from the house they were born and grew up in.

Now I need get a moisture meter, and make sure they are dry enough.

I finally got the 18” bandsaw running well enough to use. With the new blade guides, and new guard holder in place I was able to tune the guide and give some test cuts.

Something isn’t quite right with the bandsaw, but it is an 18” and works well enough for now. With as cheap as I got it and the work to restore it will last for a while. However it will need to be replaced someday, hopefully a while away.

Now to make a fence for some resawing. The 3D printer should come in handy for that.

I 3d printed a part for my bandsaw. I have had a bandsaw I have been trying to get back up and running for a couple of years now. My biggest hiccup is the guard holder.

I bought a whole new bandsaw blade guide since the one on my used bandsaw was crumbling due to bad metal. Well, I have had a number of problems, but the last one was the blade guard. It wasn't built right, and I wans't sure what to do about it.

Well I finally thought about it and this piece isn't critical to be metal. Just sturdy and the right size.

So I took the one I had re-designed it and 3d printed a replacement, and it fixed my issue perfectly. I am so glad it fixed it the first time too.

Now I can finish getting the bandsaw going agin and using it.

Thank you. It was a lot of fun and is going to help me do many more projects in the future.

Thank you! Much appreciated
