Today was supposed to be about making more beehive components. Made a hearty and tasty breakfast so I wouldn’t have to stop for lunch, planning instead to work through the day.
Went down into the shop. Set up the table saw to make the first series of cuts. Fired up the vacuum system, hit the switch on the saw.
The roar of the vacuum system did not get drowned out by the whirr of the saw because there wasn’t any whirr.
Since vacuum and saw get their power from the same place, it just had to be the switch on the saw.
It wasn’t.
Bad outlet.
Goosenargh (nonsensical word inserted to protect the tender eyes of the easily offended who may read this)
Off to Tractor Supply, closest place that might have outlets and boxes. They have outlets, no boxes.
Goosenargh!
Off to 84 Lumber. They have outlets AND boxes! Got a double box and 2 outlets and the appropriate cover.
Spent the rest of the morning removing old single outlet box, stretching wires so I had room to make connections without having to deal with too-short house wiring, and installing my shiny newly purchased double outlet box.
Left the 15 amp breaker for this circuit instead of upgrading it to a 20 amp in the circuit breaker box because I’m not sure what is downstream of the new double outlet and I don’t want the house wiring to do the toaster element thing when I’m not here.
Still, I made an inner cover, a telescoping cover, and primed the undersides of the 3 screened bottom board hive stands I designed.
I would normally make a run of the same item, but I am teaching myself to set the saw up to make different cuts so making different items means more time spent on setting it up.
Very good post! We will be linking to this particularly great article on our website. Keep up the good writing.
It’s really a nice and useful piece of info. I’m glad that you shared this useful information with us. Please keep us up to date like this. Thank you for sharing.
Excellent read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing a little research on that. And he just bought me lunch since I found it for him smile Thus let me rephrase that: Thank you for lunch!
My spouse and i have been very ecstatic Jordan managed to complete his researching by way of the precious recommendations he had using your web site. It is now and again perplexing to just find yourself freely giving key points which usually many people might have been selling. We know we now have the blog owner to give thanks to for this. The type of explanations you have made, the simple website menu, the relationships you will assist to instill – it’s most overwhelming, and it’s facilitating our son and the family believe that the concept is entertaining, which is especially pressing. Thanks for all!
