Shop is really getting set up

Came home after church and started working on the bandsaw. Got is all set up and in position and then turned it on. Nothing, bummer. Did I wire something wrong. Meter probes aren't long enough to read inside the socket so I unscrew it from the wall and take a reading. Nope, not me, I have 240. So I remember that this bandsaw has lots of interlocks. I open and close doors and step on the brake several times. Whala, POWER. It was missing one of the leveling set screws. Don't know where that went. I grabbed a bolt of roughly the same size and turned it down to the thread pitch size (yea my metal lathe is working also). Rethreaded it metric and installed. Leveled the bandsaw.
So then I get excited and start moving some of the rest of equipment where i think it might work. Plug them in and clean them up and they all work. Then I had to re-assemble the Jointer and align those granite beds. Took a while but it's up and running.
Man things are moving along. Still have a huge amount of things to unpack. Have to fix the bottom of my router table. guess the feet got damaged in the move. Have to build a work cabinet for the miter saw to get it up to the proper height and raise one of the cabinets I'm going to use as infeed and outfeed tables. Then the miter saw will be ready.
Hopefully I will be able to get the bearings for my table saw tomorrow and get it up and running..
I fired up the lathe and had what at first sounded like a ticking. I checked the pulleys and spindle lock and all were in position. Turns out it was more of once per revolution squeek that went away when the belt warmed up. I guess the belt had a set in it.
Hopefully I can start planning the dust collection in the next few days and maybe make some headway on that.
