    Wanted WTB Ball top Monitor kit

    I saw a real one that had been in the family for 100 years last weekend. Sadly I'm getting "Image is not as expected." :(

    8X12 Lathe in sad shape

    The only thing I might do different is with the bed is electrolysis due to the size. Kiddie pool and an old computer power supply from Good-Will etc. Only because that's a lot of Evaporust unless you do it in patches. Then you really have to stay on top of keeping the section wet.

    Necessary/desired machine tools?

    Sorry if redundant. Yes to both "But (Behold the Underlying Truth) it depends . If you don't know yet what you want to do, start small, make some things, and if you need more, you can get more help figuring it out. Hand tools you purchase to work around will never go to waste regardless of what...

    Gingery metal shaper in cast iron?

    I do not. I purchased the Ultimate 3rd Hand Plans plans, still on my "I'm a gunna." list. They are well done IMHO. For what it's worth, I was just settling into my first house after 7 years of post divorce apartment living so had next to nothing in the way of material. The person who responded...

    Ban on small engines in California

    My experience is that many people in the market act like wolves and will do anything they can get away with. Don't trust them and and don't believe they can simply be wished into not cheating every chance they get. Too many believe "If I can think up a way to make money, it's ethical." Why do I...

    For Sale Selling my dad's shop - Bridgeport, Linley Jig Borer, Southbend Lathe, Craftsman/Atlas Lathe, Deckel Grinder, Meteor Drill Sharpener

    It's very, very hard if you haven't been In business yourself to understand that most things have to be marked up a minimum of 50% to make a profit. So it's insanity to expect to get anywhere near retail selling to someone who has to turn a profit. And anything else is going to take time. How...

    Rudy Kouhoupt Copperhead Steam Roller

    No, my bad, this was a silly loop right back here. I popped into the middle and didn't realize this thread had started in 2014. See flat forehead. Given the lack of plans and the prominent place it had in his home, I suspect he did it as a personal project and any plans were in his personal...

    Linux "Q4OS"

    Everything has a learning curve and when I was in professional development in the US Army we all know the first day, or more, would be a vocabulary lesson. The Infantry and Artillery still can't agree on what "destroyed" means, but my view point is if you aren't close enough for it to shoot back...
