    It would cool to make a little plaque for the saw in memory of Ron. He seemed like quite a guy. And what a nice family too!

    TEFLON pads (then throw them away, they'll be toast on concrete. Don't raise your toy to any point it's unstable.

    After that thought, I quit watching when there was no one steadying the damn thing. The top is leverage.

    Okay, back again. Figured the video wouldn't have been made it you didn't luck out.

    GLOVES…… Bandsaw blades are sharp snakes that can and do bite.

    Maybe some break-in time on the new equipment?

    YIKES! This Mustie adventure ticks all the "At-risk behavior" check boxes on the accident report. The thing is heavier than a VW, isn't it? What did they do anyway, install that equipment, then build the house over it? The trusty Mustie forklift sure came in handy. Such a treasure-trove of equipment from that shop… may the gentleman who used it and cared for it rest in peace.

    Used to cut round pieces out of graphite 14” the saw ran very fast and was scary to run ! Cut myself in the knuckle once got to close trimming a piece ! The saw took 3 mins to stop after turning it off .

    Mustie and Brian you guys are wonderful people. Thanks for helping our family find a home for some amazing machines. We learned a lot from you throughout this process. The previous owner to these machines was my humble father-in-law, Ron. He was a lifelong car guy, built formula racers (and raced them) in his youth, worked as a mechanical engineer developing some truly interesting devices through his career. Some of those machines belonged to his father (an auto mechanic), and he still had tools from his grandfather (a machinist). Ron would be working in that shop every weekend, and loved the Lamborghini Diablo kit car project. He also got very interested in restoring old machines later in his life as a hobby. He'd always stop anything to lend a hand to a friend or neighbor, no matter how minor the task,. Ron believed in finding simple ways to solve complex problems, and our family is so proud of him. It's great to see these machines continue to live on in a place like Mustie1's workshop! Thanks to all the Youtubers and their thoughtful comments, it was very moving to imagine the other people from this culture that Ron loved so much.
