I bought a Eastwood tig200. I got it because I always wanted to learn TIG and wanted to be able to weld aluminum. I like it. Pretty basic I guess but it will run off 110 or 220 and has the option of running pedal or switch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've thought about this some to and hate the way I'm doing it now.. carry a lot of small parts for three different system we service.. I'm getting by with one of those plastic three drawer organizers for now but it's not efficient. I'll be watching to see what you end up with[emoji12]. This is...

One of my buddy's did some mods to a HF tubing bender, turned some new dies for it and has built several motorcycle frames with it.. I've seen several how to's on modifying them.. Sent from my iPhone6s using Tapatalk

[emoji106] those are great little saws!

its a 50x30 shop. the stud spacing is 3'. its already insulated :thumbup: this part of MS is pretty much farm country so it was probably built for farming equipment. I'd like to sheet the walls at least 8' up to protect the insulation.

Spent most the day yesterday with my 7yr old nephew (next door neighbors now[emoji106]) cleaning up , boxing up the POs junk and replacing it with my junk[emoji12] anyways here's a pic of the progress.. Still have a long way to go but at least I have a clear spot to work on some long neglected...

Well I said I'd never live in Mississippi, but a job change and an unexpected opportunity finds me buying a place in Noxubee county... With a shop the place needs a lot of cleaning up (especially in the shop) The PO moved across the country a few years ago and has been renting the house out. So...

Thanks for the response.. From what I've read (practical machinist forum and others) hand scraping is a legitimate way to "flatten" the bed of a lathe, providing an appropriate level of skill of course. Dunno.. Whatever the case I'm not going to be doing ultra precision work anyway. I think I'll...

Runs fine. Everything seems to turn free.. It's sat for probably 5 years.. Before that it had been recently gone over "by an old machinist and trued up with a file" that's about all I know about it..

I know it's impossible to give a price on an old piece of machinery without looking at it your self. But could anybody give me a ballpark figure what this lathe might be worth?

Get a Stihl.. Br600 is a super nice blower,but bigger than most people need... For a saw, if you don't use it that much and don't need a very big saw check out a ms250. I believe they've just been replaced with the ms251c which is basically the same saw with an ez-start feature. They're our...

I've been writing on mine with regular dry-erase marker.. Seems to work well, but if I leave something on there for a couple weeks it's a little harder to erase..

Found these while browsing eBay.. $82 shipped, which probably isn't a super deal but cheaper than new which is good when you're as tight as I am right now [emoji16] and in good condition!
