    Default Asking for help to assemble H & F bandsaw and table sa.

    I bought these in 2009 but did not have them unpacked unti[ 2 weeks ago, for various reasons.
    One of our grandsons has kindly begun to assemble them for me as I cannot bend or lift anything and must work from my chair.
    I don't know why but he has not done anything on the job for a few days and, being deaf, I cannot ask him the reason.
    He is on school holidays now and I do not like to press him.
    I am wondering if anybody who lives near Thornleigh would be kind enough to call sometime and finish the assembly, if our grandson cannot or will not!
    The machines are: H & F BP-305 12" bandsaw and a ST-13 contractor sawbench.
    I am keen to get into the shed but our boy has gear over most of the floor. I would like to give him a few days more to see if he is coming back to the job.
    Thanks very much, Bill.

    This community has some very generous people.
    Today, Steve and Aaron came, worked for more than 3 hours, through lunch time, and assembled the machines.
    I am very grateful, Bill.

    It was nice to meet Bill and his wife.

    Many thanks to Arron who came at short notice.

    Two pair of hands made quick work of it. (Chinese instructions are wonderful....)

    Christos,

    Ii is actually very easy...read pamphlet (thats's basically what it is). Look at pictures...

    Pick up parts...look at pictures...don't see it in pictures, then pick up another part...scratch what ever you like...

    Have more coffee...if the afternoon.. have more beer...

    Repeat the above process untill all parts are used ... and all coffee/beer has been drunk.

    It is really handy if you have a nice picture of what you are trying to put together or an exploded view,......... before you explode.

    Hope this helps Christos.

    Great effort guys.
    I love reading stories like this one

    Bill, I have the same model H&F bandsaw, so if you strike any model-specific issues, let me know.
    ... Steve
