Like your pictures, Aerostar. They seem to show that two heads are better than one....

Great find! I found something similar, with most of what you have, a few years back, and had to drive only 2 hours each way. And the price was so low that I almost felt guilty.😏 BTW, the threading attachment looks silly and is hand-operated, but it works just fine. I used it to make an oddball...

I like all of the chess sets shown. I have a set from Italy, made from what looks like carved bone, with Roman soldiers for the pawns, real castles for the rooks, etc.. When I first got it I showed it to a chess enthusiast, who glanced at it and haughtily remarked that, as it was not a Staunton...

I agree with Bob. Leave it as original as possible; just clean carefully.

USPS only. I once bought an item that the seller shipped by UPS without telling me, and paid almost three times its value before I was through. As for Global Shipping, I do not buy from sellers who use it. It's slow, really expensive (often including "customs" fees that do not apply), and...

I think all we'll need is your name and the e-mail address that goes with your PayPal account, and we'll have both when you write directly to us to get our mailing addresses. We can then pay what you calculate for postage. Many thanks for your kindness.

Hi, I could use 20, if they are available PayPal is good.. Email [email protected] Thanks. Bob.

And if it fits a South Bend, it'll probably fit a Logan, too.

"Aha! An oiler on the cylinder. By all accounts, oil in cylinders kills flame eaters! " My oiler is there just for looks. My cylinder is polished, the piston (all three of them, aluminum, steel, and cast iron) fits just as it should, everything is "go"--except the engine....

Right now it's .002"; hard to get much thinner. I have replaced the bushings with ball bearings, made two or three pistons of different materials, fiddled with the timing, and done a thousand things you have not dreamed of. Still no joy. Next on the list is a graphite piston....

I, too, have a flame-eater. Made it myself. I think it looks all right, and that's good, because it doesn't run at all.😞

Oops! Just read that your lathe is in for repair. Let us know what went wrong. Anyway:: Many motors have a reset button to protect against overheating and power surges. Look for that and press it. My Busy Bee lathe's magnetic switch once gave out. A multimeter helped pinpoint the problem, and...

That's great! I've been collecting pieces for quite a while, too, but just before Christmas I was offered a completed roller that I couldn't refuse. Unfortunately, the Christmas roller was dropped in shipping, but the shipper reimbursed me for the repairs, so all has ended pretty well:

Found one.

These work all right for gentle bends in annealed copper, but they can't handle tight ones, at least in my experience.

"So for those of you who would like to build a Holt, hang in there for awhile. gbritnell" Hanging in....

Like it! If it runs, it's perfect!

I have placed a 1"x2" rectangular magnet on the belt guard of my Logan lathe, and I just lay the chuck key up against it. Quick, convenient, and secure.
