For anyone that has met me, you’ll probably know that I have a pretty happy-go-lucky personality. I enjoy helping others, sometimes to my own detriment. One thing that I’ll always do is try and do things that I know will make me happy. A few weeks back, when I had some time scheduled with our video production team at our new shop, I was deciding on what I wanted to film. I knew something that would make me very happy would be getting the big Cresent bandsaw up and running.
So, that ended up being the marching orders of the day. Wiring a VFD, getting new tires installed, and spending a few hours fiddling with other adjustments. At the end of the day, long after the crew was sick of watching me tinker with the saw, we finally were able to turn it on. And, I have to tell you—I wore the childish grin on my face as a badge of honor. I don’t know if the production crew was more scared of this giant saw running for the first time in 70 years, or the maniac look on my face.
At this point, the video is going through edits, so before long you’ll be able to see it here on PopWood+. Hopefully, you find a fraction of the enjoyment in watching it that I got from firing it up for the first time. Maybe next time, I’ll share the story of how I threw the tires off the saw. Onward. Forward. Cheers.
