The K&T has about 5 gallons of coolant and other goop in the coolant sump. I decided to use my shop vac and a bucket for a DIY fluid recovery pump.
New machine day in the shop!
Another New Machine for the Shop!
I bought this machine by accident, sort of. I’ve been fascinated by shapers ever since I saw Adam Booth’s video series on his big shaper. I’ve never owned one, or even seen one operate, but when a good deal is too good to pass up, you don’t pass it up!

Slow.
Slow. And I mean Sloooowweee but steady progress removing 80 years of hardened grease off these motor windings.
These bearings are good, right? LOL!
Took apart the motor to the K&T to clean it and found out how good the bearings are. 🙁
Just over here polishin’ my knobs.
Just over here polishin’ my knobs. 😉 No major progress on the K&T because of some other projects. But I’ve been busy removing a bunch of the hand controls and cleaning them up. The two power feed levers for the knee and saddle were bent and needed straightening. Plus a little paint.
Added 50,000 lumens to the shop.
Added 50,000 lumens to the shop. There were too many shadows. All of this is temporary until I get the ceiling finished and the permanent lighting fixtures installs.
Made a small change to my compressor setup.
Made a small change to my compressor setup. The compressor is in the garage on the other side of this wall from the shop. I ran some black pipe through the wall to give me an air outlet in the shop. I’d like to put in one of those air systems, but it’s not in the budget.
