    Same generic Taiwanese metal lathe as the one I'm restoring! Subscribed! How are you liking the granite-topped lathe stand?

    Congratulations on the camera! Its name can be translated as "Hobbyist-2" :) Auto-translate tool strikes again: "jet thrust bracket" is most likely a trailing arm mount.

    I sometimes translate the auto translation back to Russian for fun. General note: whenever Vladimir refers to cooking in the context of auto repair, it's because the verbs "to cook" and "to weld" are written the same in Russian. Cheers!

    Finnish 2-car garage build, by-the-book

    What a packing effort and what a move! 2 questions if you don't mind: how did your mini schnauzer handle the flight and what are you going to do without the tools and the garage? Thanks!

    Below 265 SQ/FT Tiny Tokyo Shop

    Just got back from the Mitutoyo museum virtual tour. It's done so well, I was kind of expecting to be able to click the green button on the model railroad and see the train go. I love the wealth of cultural and technical knowledge and details shared in this thread!

    Vladimir's dad is carrying the so-called "perhaps-bag". It collapses to the point of fitting in one's pocket. Grocery stores in USSR were super eco-friendly and didn't give out plastic shopping bags, so it was useful to carry one around. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_bag

    Re: From losing everything to being cash-poor and shop-rich in "only" five years! I knew that one day you would dig into that 9x20 lathe! Are you by chance documenting the progress in a different thread somewhere?

    I think the idea is that when leaving one says good bye to the car parked in the garage as if it were a person.

    My garage from italy

    Alex, I got inspired by your hammer rack to build one of my own. The small hammer in the front is USAG.
