Redone Walker Turner bandsaw

[boxxmaker]

This is a bandsaw that I picked up In Tampa for 200 bucks.I raised it from an 8" resaw capacity to about 13" The riser I made is not the prettiest,but when you don't have access to a welder or torch,ya just grab a hammer an start pounding.That is 1/4" x 4" solid steel an that stuff don't bend easy.Eveything on it was in great shape,except I had to replace the tires.It weighs a ton(I think)

nice job! I went to an auction today and got a 14" rockwell to tide me over till i can find parts to redo the WT my brother-in-law will let me have. I still want to re-do it but now i can put it on the back burner and take my time.....which means it will probably take years!

Good job! Looks like it was a satisfying project. Don't know if it's my computer, bu I couldn't enlarge the thumbnails.
