Lathe Hack and old school tool use.

Let me see, cat vs coyote, I bet the coyote had a tasty if a bit furry meal.

I can see that cat now, whiskers twitching, thinking "I got my teeth in it, did I bite off more than I can chew?"

The table of the tablesaw is now clean and has a coat of car polish to prevent re-rusting just in case moisture gets too high. I have to clean out the grooves for the miter which will take a piece of fine sand paper and a small wire brush. Next order of business is to clean the trunions, carriage, and arbor. The bearings are in excellent shape, much better than my old saw. I decided to do something about that so I ordered a pair of new bearings which will be put on the old tablesaw tomorrow.

As for worth with his bee powered flying wood lathe, I suspect he will give up on the idea of putting bees in those boxes in a hurry. In fact, a couple of drawers would make them into excellent storage space for lathe tools. If he puts 4 wheels under them, the lathe will be portable.

"He who has a library and a garden wants for nothing." -Cicero

He who has a woman truly wants for nothing. He has the best incentive in the world to spend time in his library and his garden. If he also has a workshop, he might just be the happiest man on earth.
