The Atlantic and Southern Build Thread Continued, Part 2

[Janbouli]

Sorry for your loss Tom , 25 years , I guess you saw it coming.

[Lynnb]

 Nice work on the support, sorry to hear of the saw passing

Tom...

When you paint that ready rod green, put some palm fronds on it and call it a cell tower.

see ya
Bob

Bob,

Good idea but the rod is to tall for a tree in HO scale.

Tom..

My steam powered table saw from 1954 is still out there chugging away.  If it's a belt drive saw unit you should be able to replace the bearings.  They don't make 'em that good any more.

Bob

Bob,

This was just a Sears 10" table top and it served the 25 years cutting layout lumber. Got it on sale for $145.00 so no complaints from me.

Lynn,

Thanks for the compliment on the support. The saw was old but did serve me well for 25+ years. I can't complain.

How about a water tower with a thundercloud looming over the top of it?

Good idea but the rod is to tall for a tree in HO scale.

ACL 1504,
           Were you ever a dam builder in your former life? 
                                                                              Thanx Thom...

I don't think he has but he's always been on the level.   

I don't think he leans to either side actually!

Thom,

No, I'm pretty much a straight up kind of guy. I don't lean either way.

Tom 

I'm not touching that one.....I'll just get into more trouble. 

[GPdemayo]

It appears to be a bit more sturdy.....

Greg,

Appears?

When you did the pull ups didn't all hold up except the small level?

Tom

I've blocked that out.....it never happened. 

[GPdemayo]

I have very sad news to report this evening.

A very close and dear friend on mine passed away this afternoon. The passing wasn't easy as she tried to hold on but the bearings were just to worn out.

As I was cutting some 1X3 cross braces, my 25 year old 10 inch table saw gave up the ghost.

A moment of silence please.

Tom

Oh no!  Say it ain't so!   

I'll be curious to see what you replace it with.  I've been threatening to buy one for years even though I have no place to store one and very little use for one at the moment.   

[Lynnb]

I spend a bit of tome each day going through your build process, that is one massive Helix, On a couple layouts back I had a Nolix that went down at one end of the layout and all the way around the perimeter to a lower masive staging yard. Excellent work.

Lynn,

Thank you for the kind words. Greg DeMayo designed the Ovalix. It started as a Helix but I stretched it by four feet and call it an Ovalix.

It works beautifully and was fun building.

Butty Jim,

Thanks very much my friend. The saw was on it's last leg.
