"It will need new roller covers before I can run it."
I have never had much luck with roller covers but I have had good luck using Gorilla tape on the roller contact surface of the barrels. Cheap way to go and easy to replace.......MrP

At first I thought you were building the house to last generations. Guess I was wrong, it is to last FOREVER. I am really enjoying watching this build...............MrP

I use an air cylinder to feed my saw. When I got the saw it was set up to use water to power the feed. I did not like that so I rebuilt it to use air. It only had a 1.25" cylinder on it but after doing some figuring I built a 2" cylinder. Parts for cylinder--2" copper pipe, end caps, 3/8" rod, washers,3/8"nuts, piston cup seals www.mcmaster.com/#ring-seals/=lztfh4Piston Cup Seal 2" OD, 1/2" Height, 3/8" ID Cut the 2" copper pipe to length to give the right distance for the push. The rod will be longer. One end of the rod has to be threaded for the piston cup seals. Washers hold the piston cup seal in place. I have small holes in the other end of the rod to capture the push bar on the bottom of the carriage, with hairpin clips. I soldered a strap on one cap so I could bolt it to the saw. The other cap gets a hole for the rod. The hole can be a little larger because that end has to be vented anyway. For control you need an air regulator and a couple of valves. The piston has to be tapped for an air fitting. The second valve is for venting when you pull the carriage back. I use 5-15 PSI for cutting. I like it because an easy cutting rock can be cut very quick.............MrP

Low skilled truckers!!!!
HELEN why don't you kiss my A$$ My Dad was a trucker all his life! He made a great living and was dammed proud of it.
It is sickening reading your stupid diatribe. You are always putting down the working person and praising the low life lazy non worker.
I realize you are not bright enough to figure it out yourself but almost everything you use is brought to you by one of those "low skilled truckers"...............MrP

I mark the spot I want to drill with this. www.amazon.com/Pentel-Permanent-M....31772052&sr=8-1I drill with these. www.kingsleynorth.com/skshop/product.php?id=46570&catID=1030I use this in the water. They used to sell it by the quart. Looks like it is by the Gal now. www.kingsleynorth.com/skshop/product.php?id=87802&catID=112I use a handheld Dermal to drill with. I have a 4" X 6" 1" deep dish. I have a thick piece of Obsidian on the bottom that I lay the cab on, this helps for blowouts. Not all cabs are flat so it isn't perfect but does work well on most of them. I have drilled thousands of holes and found that the Lubri - Kool is a must. Also using the Obsidian helps with sharpening the drill bit. A lot of times when the bit doesn't want to drill just put it on the Obsidian, with a light touch, and it will drill again......sometimes. As far as how many cabs can be drilled with a bit, it depends on the material, but even some that usually drill easy most of the time may give you a problem the next time and visa a versa. I have drilled as many as 50 cabs, of all different types, with 1 bit and have also used 4 bits for 1 hole. Most of the time it is 10 - 20 cabs with a bit. Sure wish the holes could be drilled in seconds instead of minutes..............MrP Read more: forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/index.cgi?action=userrecentposts&user=mrp#ixzz2LlHNZNCE

O-rings do not last. The correct belts for the VT will last a year or more. O-rings a week or two. Not worth the trouble no matter the cost...................MrP
