Finally finished putting the saw back together today complete with a new 36'x 48" top for the table. It took nearly as long to make the adjustments to square the saw head and table as it did to put all the mechanicals back together. It's amazing how much sap/rosin, crud, and saw dust can accumulate over 45 years.
After a few test cuts I cleaned up my mess and put away all the tools. Now that the saw is finished I'll move onto the next in a long list of must do's so I can navigate through the shop without stumbling over parts and pieces of current and past projects. Some of the projects that seemed pressing at the time I started them have sat so long I can't even remember why I started them. If the cool windy wet weather stays around for the whole next week as the weather man predicts I should be able to finish those that still seem relevant and discard those that no longer need completion.
