New Member from Syracuse NY
« on: January 23, 2017, 05:15:08 PM »
Howdy Gents,
I am a new member from Central New York; retired, but active in vintage motorcycle restoration, auto repair, and home projects. 25 years ago I built my own house from a crude storage building.
I've been collecting a variety of tools my whole life, having been turned onto them by my grandfather who was a Franklin car dealer here in Syracuse. I have collected some vintage wrenches, hammers, power tools,  and various unusual items.
I'm proud to own a restored Walker Turner table saw. Hopefully I will be successful attaching photos, below.  Since taking the pics of the W-T saw, I finished the wiring and mounted the motor in a manner that allows for variable tension on the belt.  I built the wheeled stand, and the saw is perfectly functional.
I'm looking forward to being active at this forum.

Yay!  I finally got one of my friends to register!  Hi Jeff.  The W-T saw is a work of mechanical art.  It is a beauty.

Yup, have a nicely repainted one, thanks   :grin:

altho I must admit I have remembered to use it only half the time.

I live dangerously, it appears.  I'm also an avid motorcyclist.
