I made a mess!
I feel cheated. This is not a sandwich.

A little before and after of a Famco 13R 4 ton arbor press I recently bought at auction for a song. Power washed it, stripped the paint, new rattle can paint job and a little paint pen for the lettering. If I subtract for how much I sold my Chinese import 2 ton press, I’m into this for about $40.

My first try at machining a splined shaft. This is a test piece in Delrin before committing to some of the limited amount of 1045. Going to be a fun project to complete. Hopefully a YouTube video on making this will drop Sunday. 🤞🏻
Best seats in the house!

The model number plate off a circa 1940s Craftsman drill press I am restoring needs to be replaced. Model 103.0303. @kingtutley, is this anything you stock that’s not a special run? It’s not worth it to me to have a custom one-off made.
Found a restoration project for you

I will never rake or bag another leaf again. We started mulching leaves a few years ago. Last time we bagged, we packed 71 of them damn yard waste bags. Never again.

Just finished watching HBO’s “Fastest Woman on Earth” that chronicles the time that Jessi Combs broke the women’s land speed record at 512.7 MPH, that also led to her death. I met Jessi twice, briefly, both in Moab, UT. The first time was at an autograph session at the Warn booth at Easter Jeep Safari in 2018 – I still have the poster she signed. I need to frame that some day. Our last encounter was the following year, at EJS once again, and was completely random. I was walking down the main street in Moab and saw her near her Ultra 4 car in front of a hotel. I approached her, cautiously 🙂, to say “hello.” I must admit, I was a bit star struck and wasn’t even sure what to say! But she graciously took 5 minutes of her day to chat with me about the car and what she was up to. And even posed for the photo here. She was the real deal in every way. The documentary shares a lot about her efforts to break the record, but also delved into her family background and some parts of her personal life – what there was of it. They even show the video from the GoPro that was placed over her left shoulder during the run that took her life. It wasn’t graphic, thank goodness, but sure made it real. Had she survived, is there any doubt she would have gone even faster? The film is worth the watch.
