ooooh! oooh! We wanna see the loco! ;D

Excellent thread, thank you for sharing it with us spectator-types. ;D :bow:

Ha, I like the cartoon look. Marvin doesn't look out-of-place in it. ;D

Amazing... do you ever sleep? Your side projects built from left-over parts look better, and are finished sooner than my single project?!?! :o :bow:

What an interesting-looking boiler... this is great. ;D AAAHH! The suspense! No fair, man. :o

Awesome... this thread is so much fun to watch... :bow:

Aaahhhhhhh.... I love that collet rack! (drool, drool) :bow:

Wow, it sounds better every time I play the video. ;D Great work, again!

:bow: It's really starting to look enginey with a cylinder on it. Looking forward to the other 7 jugs.

Rof} I wondered who'd be the first to say something like that. ;D

Ugh! Sorry to hear about the Pentax. The metal stuff, well, that's all part of the 'fun' of the hobby, ain't it? ;D

I've been looking for a lathe to add to my home 'shop' for a while, and had decided to get one from Harbor Freight, and scavenge tooling over the next few months. After some discussion with my wife about it, she's "talked me into" a Sherline lathe, tooling, and everything I'll need to convert it...

I've done a lot of tilted head work with Bridgeport mills, and several times in the past few years I've used my Sherline the same way.... most recently as a lathe. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6peJqR-vtfU Actually I'll be doing more of that this evening.

Nice to see another Cracker... post photos. :D

GREAT stuff. Thank you for sharing that, I'd like to see more. :D

...but there's no way my wife would have let me have a big lathe in the house. Not all of us have a shop. If it wasn't for Sherline, I'd be making all of my stuff, big OR small, at work. ;D

Awesome sound... it really makes me want to build an IC engine. :bow:

Occasionally I'll get coolant on my Mitutoyo calipers, and the display will go nuts until they dry out. It hasn't caused any permanent damage to any of them, I've always worn the jaws out first.

Ah, I don't even need to play that last one, I've seen it. Actually I've seen it in person, too, a guy at work mistyped a spindle speed command and overcame the chuck clamping pressure. The baseball-sized slug ran around inside the machine long enough for me to look over at him and the rumbling...

Hahaha great post. Welcome to the forums. You're not the only quirky member here, one of 'em is typing this reply. ;D Nice shop, thanks for sharing.
