Meadowbrook Mansion – K9 guest
We have a guest staying at Meadowbrook Mansion for a few days, her name is Willow from Botanic Ridge.
14" Bandsaw – V-belt pulley
Setting up a router jig to make the V-groove pulley. The first wheel becomes the upper wheel. After this the pulley is removed and screwed to the second wheel and the process is repeated. The pulley remains on the second wheel which becomes – the lower wheel.
Having mounted the bearing flanges on both wheels and as mentioned in the previous bandsaw post I now need to make a temporary drive pulley or doughnut with a V-groove so I can spin each wheel from the saw motor to true the circumference for run-out with a wood chisel. For this sort of stuff you must have a router mounted in a router table. The ALDI setup is OK for my needs – with modifications.
14” Bandsaw – first wheel second flange
We can now mount the second flange, the clamps here go through onto the one I did this morning.

14” Bandsaw – first wheel first flange
Continuing on from the previous session a week ago, Crikey got side tracked with tech stuff like phones, tablets and the Windows 10 Creator Update…we will continue with mounting the bearing flanges on the bandsaw wheels. Yes…this early stage is a time consuming and critical process that must be done in a particular order.
We are ready to mount the first bearing flange.
Christmas shopping trip
Another shopping round trip – Scoresby, Knox, Stud Park and Springvale. Finally home and pooped out.
Christmas present for a family member and a pizza spatula for the BBQ oven box.
Garden gazebo water barrel feature – continued
With everything removed this is the Japanese water spout, the roots of the water lily had completely filled the inner plastic tub liner and even engulfed the water pump. I had to use secateurs to locate and cut free the water pump – LOL.

Windows 10 Creators Update – subtle changes.
Task bar network icon now has a Wi-Fi dropdown box which is good but even better for me is the Mobile hotspot – to easily connect to my Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro during power outages.
