Traditions like glaucoma prevention medicine, hippie girls (wife says no sharing) and doing only what I feel like, well that's a start. Although I have none I do like tie dye Never tried to get a new decal, I made it. Well I found the original design online and copied it to a stencil and spray painted it on. Can't really see it but under it is written 93 1/2'', the size of the blade, my dad had it in permanant marker but all of that needed to be sanded. it's because I will never remember it later to buy new blades. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Oh Yea I opened in a new tab and enlarged it so I saw that too. Good job with that logo, and a good other half can keep you in line Band saws can just do what everything else can't do! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are very handy, to be honest the band saw scares me more than any of the other tools, it's really easy to make a mistake which can lead to not being able to count to 10 with your hands. I watched a butcher one day, I got a new respect for a band saw, it went through bone like nothing. I always set that blade guard as close to what I am cutting so there is little or no space for an accident. 3 hours ago, RandyH said: painted logo , decal looks pretty good , the duplicates on ebay are smaller 3,5 inches It's panted, the machine we use can make it any size up to 12" wide, or up to 24" if you want to split the design in two pieces and realing when sticking it on, that is 7" only becuse I thought it would fit better inside the rounded top. It's stencil vinyl that sticks, then just mask off the rest and spray. Peel of the stencil when the paint is 75% dry and your done. I could have made a decal but thought the paint would last longer. It's the same way we make heat press designs on shirts just a different material used instead of stencil vinyl and a different vinyl, and another type for like you see designs on cars. It's why I have so many different designs on shirts. When I looked up the Rockwell logo they had 2, one is called red R logo and the other is all black. I liked the black one better because it had a second ring around the outside. . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted July 20, 2021 Moderators Share Posted July 20, 2021 I have made up shirts to play jokes on people. Once we were all sitting around talking about pro speakers and Roy said they are "tools not toys". So I made this shirt and wore it next time we were together without telling him anything, it is on the back of the shirt. You should have seen his face when he noticed, plus I do like the shirt. I have so many I use them as work shirts, I tend to ruin them quickly. 4 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) Looking like plan A for me has fizzled. That's not really bad except for some stressed immediate family dynamics. Plan B will have me 5 miles south of the Blue Ridge Parkway close to VA. Got my fingers crossed; it's 4 acres with a good spring and fast moving creek commencing from it. Evergreens and hardwoods. Got my scout/partner in crime checking it out. Edited July 20, 2021 by JohnJ + ; 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
