Today's Mini Woodshop Maintenance

We had a great turnout today! @sneezix @Johnvaughn @AlexSchoedler and I spent a hard 2 hours cleaning, performing some much needed maintenance and TLC to our equipment.

This is a great opportunity for anyone who wants to learn how perform maintenance, learn to do repairs, and gain volunteer hours.

Here’s a few things we got done today:

  1. All cast irons was cleaned and waxed!
  2. Both table saws got a deep clean including the blades.
  3. Both band saws got a complete tune up and are running great!
  4. All Shop Vac’s got deep cleaned–including the filters!
  5. Sanding table got a deep clean including the filters!
  6. Jointer’s rollers were adjusted for smooth operation.
  7. General shop sweeping and cleaning.

Here’s a few pictures of our brave crew…Please give them huge thank you when you see them. We were dusty, sweaty, and tired out by the end.
