Nice legs! Can we learn a more about how you made them, and how they mount with those splayed angles?

That’s a seriously big Lazy Susan! That said, I’m very fond of eating at an even bigger one, although it’s been a decade or two. It’s part of a huge round table in the former basement kitchen of Miss Mary Bobo’s boarding house in tiny Lynchburg, Tennessee, which is now owned and operated by the Jack...

Yes, and please share the rest of the build as well!

The oil ports on my motor have these yellow plastic plugs to seal them when not being used. PXL_20240327_003646944.jpg As for the bearing type, lubrication, and oil port orientations, see this old thread from 2013 for more color. JPG's motor was just like mine. Unfortunately, I didn't take any photo...

Motor label.JPG Note that the motor model number is exactly the same on both labels. Yet glarson's label declares that THIS MOT...

Google “planer knife sharpening machine”, look at the images, and you’ll se a lot of blade/knife clamps that look similar to that assembly. The knobs on yours look a lot like the ones on this Makita.

The saw guard is from a radial arm saw. The protuberance is a mount for an anti-kickback pawl, which is a dead giveaway. I’m not sure about the brand. The thing just to the left of the saw guard, sitting on the miter-gauge bar, looks like a jigsaw attachment, likely for a radial arm saw as well. Giv...

How cool is that! ???

Almost make me want to be two YO again.
