The shop has acquired a Buck Chuck, 6 inch, 6-jaw chuck that has a back plate for the 1960 South Bend Lathe. I would like to use this on the 1942 South Bend, but that will require a different back plate as the spindle nose threads are different. These aren’t available commercially, so I have no alternative than to make one.

I took a road trip this past week and stopped by to see Kyle at @VanoverMachineAndRepair. Kyle was gracious enough to let me hang out in his shop for a bit over a couple of days and I also got to meet some other local machinists and machine rebuilders. Had a little fun and recorded him trying to get a rush job out the door – in between all the phone calls! 😂

Arccaptain asked me if I would check out this MIG 145P flux core MIG welder for them. I used it to teach one of my best friends what I could about welding with it. I am not a welding instructor, just another idiot on YouTube. Chris got to take this welder, a TIG torch and a welding helmet home, courtesy of Arccaptain.

I have had my eye out for a tool and cutter grinder for some time now. But since I like to keep costs to a minimum, the ones I have seen on Fakebook and places are just more than I want to spend. Plus, I need one that will fit in a small space. I kick myself to this day for passing on a nice Brown and Sharp that was at a local auction. When I saw this one come up, I managed to be the winning bidder. It’s going to sit for a while until I can get to it, but it’s here when I am ready to get it prepped for me to learn how to use it.

During the process of machining the back plate, I would need something to measure the progress of the internal threads, so I thread gauge is necessary and I will also need to make one of those!

My friend Mike has 39″ tires on his Jeep. And they are GREAT for using it off road. However, because the tires are so much wider and bigger, when he turns the wheels all the way to the left or to the right, they rub on the inside of the Jeep’s frame. So we are going to use the opportunity to test out the Bestarc BTC500DP Plasma Cutter that was sent to me by Bestarc to notch out the inside of this frame and then to weld in new plates that will allow his tires to clear.

I came across this 12″ Troyke rotary table at an online auction. But the photos didn’t show what size it was, I was hoping it was a 10″, so I bid on it anyway. Well, it’s a 12″, which is just a bit too big for my mill, and a bit too heavy for me to handle by myself. So I am just going to clean it up and pass it on to its next steward and any profit gained will go back into other shop restoration projects.

The Servo 150 power feed and adapter is pretty cool.

I’ll be getting back to the regular machine shop/Jeep videos this Sunday. But this is just a short video of the mess we had to clean up after a big storm that went through NE Ohio. Power was out for som 800,000 households, 65,000 in my county alone, which is about half the total households. We were blessed that we had power, but we were offline for 5 days – it’s amazing how much we rely on the internet and how much you realize that when it’s unavailable.

This big tree was in our front yard and was damaged in the storm. It took a crew of seven men over 3 hours to safely take this tree down. It was expensive, as much as it would cost to buy a fully refurbished and well tooled South Bend Heavy 10″ Lathe. 😭 It’s a set back, for sure, but feel blessed that the house was unscathed and nobody was hurt.
