Hi again Andy,

Thanks for sharing that. 

One little "tip".  Look closely at the aluminum extrusions.  At first glance they seem symmetrical.  Look closer, and you'll find they are not.  One of the four long channels has an imbedded "line"/groove running down its length.  The instructions will tell you which way to face that side of the extrusion - depending upon which piece of it you are installing.  I don't know why it it there, or if it is all that "important" - but the directions point it out.

Let's show our wives - that in spite of the "ol wives tale" that "Men don't read instructions" - we sometimes do. 

Again - enjoy your Mill!

Mac

Hi Mac,

Thanks for the welcome. I live a bit north of Baltimore, Maryland in a town called Forest Hill.

Hello Andy,

On behalf of all the LOM Group members, "Welcome".

I didn't see any hint of where you are living.  If you will share that with us, you may find that there is a LOM Group member living within a reasonable drive from you.  That could prove to be invaluable to you - more so that just "discussions" here.

Looking forward to hearing about your efforts to correctly assemble and use your LOM. 

Please share photos with us when you get the chance.

Mac

Hello Everyone:

 

My name is Andy and I'm a new member to the group. My first woodworking project was making a replica of a $3,000 pine TV armoire my wife wanted for our first Christmas. As a young couple, it may have been $1 million. I made if for about $200 (don't tell her that!)., including the slide door hardware It was strong enough to house a 32 inch Sony TV, which I think weighed 450 lbs. :). We still have it today. From there I built our living room side tables and coffee table from cherry, raised panel waynes cotting (MDF) for the dining room, a window seat (birch ply and maple face), and a library/cabinet/TV entertaiment center for my basement out of poor man's cherry (poplar). In 2003, I built my oldest daughter's "big girl bed" and drawer set out of maple. I bought the Legacy 800 soon after hoping to make more creative pieces. But, as life has it, my wife and I decided to make more babies instead, so I never opend the boxes for the Legacy 800. Every year, life kept the boxes closed...unitil yesterday. My wife wants a new kitchen island. I want to make hope chests for my three teenage girls, and I want my ten year old son to learn how to build things. 

After opening up the parts box of the 800, I noticed this would be quite a project to set up. I searched for assembly directions, and couldn't find them (or they disintegrated after 15 years). 

I found this group and hoped I could get (1)Assembly instructions for the 800 or similar mill (2) experienced help with an older legacy model (3)share my work with like minded people.

Thanks for reading my intro. I look forward to participating in this group.

Andy

Hello New Members,

 

This is a reminder that until you post a message, your messages must be approved by either an owner or moderators of this group to be posted.  Google sends an automated message to the people that are responsible for approving messages, but please be aware it can be a very long delay.  

 

Getting off the moderated list is easy as posting a message introducing yourself.  Asking a question related to the equipment or posting a photo is always good for getting instant approval.  I still believe this is a family friendly place so please don't be shy.  

 

As of today, there are 63 members that have joined since 2010 that have never posted a message.  I sure would like to hear from them either here in this thread, or feel free to send me a note off the list so I can update your status. 

 

-Tim
