Nice. How does it accommodate the different axle standards?

Homemade design?

I think it's a bit fatshamey. You're not that big.

Will do

That looks really good. Tidy stitching.

Nah, I've lost 5 kgs during lockdown

Any suggestions for a wide, silver, disc, 32h, tubeless, 26" rim?

Bit rich coming from one of the most opinionated guys when it comes to lever placement

Fingers crossed that it's the best of both worlds and not the worst

At least the extraction port on the blade guard is on the rear. Looks like some models have it on the front.
And useful tips, thanks. Once I get a pic or look at the type plate, I'll be much wiser as to what exact model it is. I tried looking at vintage machinery.org, but couldn't find an exact match.

Yeah, the long setup time will be OK, as it will only be doing one or two different tasks. Having had a track saw (the Makita one without a riving knife) jump across my fingers when it grabbed on an oak tabletop made me very aware of how sloppy I'd been with hand placement and safety in general.

Ah, I know it's a radial arm saw. I was just wondering what year/model it is as I might as well spend the time before I get my hands on it finding manuals etc. I'm aware of the pros and cons of it.
This will be set up on a long table for crosscuts and making dado cuts on some products I'm doing, so no silly attempts at ripping or similar.
I have a small compound mitre saw for jobs outside the shop, which will probably do 90% of the work, but I think this will be good for increasing productivity on a few select tasks.

Wanted some kind of circular/chop/mitre saw for my new workshop. This popped up at a very good price. Just need to figure out transport and find out exactly what model it is.

Lovely stuff!

A nice ride and a burrito later...
Frame is now done. Building will commence in the coming week.

He doesn't just weld, he trackstands too!

The Lava Dome for my son is taking shape in the capable hands of @Hulsroy
Bought a Rock Shox SID fork and a pair of Mavic Crossmax for it.

We're now up to 4 Konas in the house. A 2012 Unit and a 2001 Lava Dome for me and a 1997 Muni-Mula and a 1995 Lava Dome for my son.

I'd consider blue Bosch, but that's maybe not as common in the UK? I'm strictly Makita at home, but the Bosch stuff at work is at least as good and prices are roughly comparable. Haven't managed to kill a Bosch tool for years and I spend most of my days with one of their drills in my hand.

I dipped him in sunscreen. UV index is through the roof atm.

Spent a few hours in the sun getting the Muni-Mula closer to rideable. Changed the short flat bars for a pair of Fleegles and played around with saddle height. Short legs and a relatively high BB makes it difficult to sort out a decent position, where he can still reach the ground. Second pic shows the final position with bars rotated up a bit and the P2 fork back in place. Need a derailléur and brake cable, but otherwise good to go.

Your words cut deeper than a knife

Can you do mine too?

I've removed it from the white ones and won't be using it on the Unit
