Latest auction score.
Lates auction score. 18” x 24” grade B surface plate for less than $40. Might need to build a cart/stand for this one. Debating on if I should keep the Starrett 12” x 18” since my shop is on the small size.

First two pieces of the jib crane!
First two pieces of the jib crane! Scored this I beam and trolley off Fakebook Marketplace for a great deal. I’ve been thinking of putting something like this in the workshop to help move chucks, vises, and such on and off the lathe and mill. The older I get, the harder it will be to move these things around. Plus, if I get it built in time, it’ll help with the rehab of the mill.

I’ve been ignoring this pinion seal leak for about 3 years now. I guess I should fix it. LOL! I made a short video of the fix – check the link in my bio.

I took some random clips of the restoration process for this South Bend Lathe.
I took some random clips of the restoration process for this, a 1941 South Bend 13″ lathe. It was in pretty rough shape when I got it, but I took it apart, piece by piece, cleaned it, replaced what was worn or broken when possible, and put it back together. It runs great!

Ice cream run.
I used confusion 360 and my 3D printer to make some holders for my holders.
I used confusion 360 and my 3D printer to make some holders for my holders. 🙂 I needed a way to securely store the tool holders for the quick change tool post I have on my lathe. These worked out nicely.
