Storage building

So far haven't located any of the D type adjuster wheels. Possibly JB Weld will work? Moved the lighted magnifying glass to the shed. Once get some shelves built in the house will buy another. Main thing used it for is reading cooking directions on packaging. They've lost their minds with the super-mini print now.
 
So far did absolutely nothing today. Quite possible will continue that path. Feel fine. Just don't want to go outside where the "work" is waiting. Really have to clean off that darned wooden shelf so can move the extra shingles over to clear floor space.
 
Reassembled the $20 Delta jobsite saw...well mostly. It had some of the wiring hacked up to bypass the breaker. Problem with these saws is, getting the plastic box back on that covers the wiring and provides strain relief sucks. Unfortunately the wiring uses spade terminals and needs 90* connectors. Ones I have the plastic shell of connector is hard as cast iron. No idea how you'd crimp them. Tried to put cover on with straight spades on switch and that won't work. Did finally get the one adjuster knob/wheel figured-out. The bevel adjuster lever has splines like a motorcycle shifter. Has a spring that engages it so can move the lever in different positions. Unfortunately (that werd has an N I keep forgetting) the splines are worn out. When tightened it just clamps onto the plastic housing slot. Really simple. Or basic. Or junk depending on ur view. If can find a metric long nut could use a wrench to tighten. Details. Wasting time is what I'm doing...

Glued the armature for the other Dewalt. Need to design a way to hold it so can spin it for machining the commutator without losing fingers. Has metal fan on on the end. Be an excellent meat grinder. Can stick one end/bearing in the vise gently...need way to support other end. If had a hole saw could fabricobble something out of 2x4's that would be pretty safe. Still thinking about it. About to go close everything up. Think I'm done.

And nope. Didn't clean off the shelves or move the shingles. Kinda like to get the saws together so easier to move and so have the bench clear. I like having a bench. Need to sort thru the shelf stuff. Bench allows me to lay it out. Maybe organize that junk into good junk/limbo junk/junk.

Most of it is limbo junk. I know it. You know it. Everybody knows it.
 
Knob/wheel has 10mm hex head bolt. The washer/cup under bolt is thin as paper so when tightened the washer deformed and almost entirely covered the bolt head. Finally grabbed it with vise grips and got it out. The knob/wheel goes on the shaft full inch. It'll work fine when tightened properly. But did find different style hand wheel is available if get desperate.

The original saw I bought is junk. Did everything I could to resurrect the armature but no bueano. Lots of sparks and flame again. Good possibility that box of 8 dollar brushes are flints. Make great sparklers! It ran maybe 15 seconds and ramped up to about 18K RPM. She was a screaming! Had no blade on it so maybe needs that weight to keep from running off? IDK.

Will pull motor from 20 dollar saw and see if can get it to fit in the larger one. That's why bought it.
 
Shoved the corpse of the saw in the corner and covered it with a folding bench so could clean the wood shelf off. At some point need to load the transmission parts on truck and sell as junk. It all got drowned and is rusty. Did get some organization accomplished. Think next step is to throw everything out of the loft and sort it. Move some of the spare OSB to make more storage surface. Mainly get everything spread out so one 2x4 failing won't kill me.

Once get loft space sorted stuff several totes up thar! Get all the lumber along the edges/closer to the walls. Guess nothing is going to get painted. Just can't bring myself to do it. At some point take the rest of the limbo junk off porch and decide whether to leave a plastic shelf there or jam it in the shed. Hmmmm? Need storage/stacking place in house. Could take the porch shelves to the bedroom. At some point need to take inversion table, which haven't used in months, to the shed. That would allow access to the closet so could actually use it.

Fried some hamburgers last evening. Made the patties waaay too thick. Made 4 when should have made 6. Have absolutely zero flavor. Cheese, pickles and mustard? Can't taste anything.
 
Need a hanger for the extension cords. Also have a 50 foot hose need to store. Have a metal bracket for the hose, now just need to find a place to put that. Used to be just inside door where now have plastic shelving. Turned the shelving 90* and may put it back way, remount hose bracket. Need to sand that white steel cabinet the drill press is on or make myself throw it away. It's pretty rough. Also need to get new belt for the drill press and see if it actually works. It was another 25 dollar purchase from Marketplace. Had for year or so. Need to decide how to store the carpentry clamps.
