Thanks guys!

oh stop it, you're making me blush :lol: Thanks for stopping in!:beer:

Had some time to empty out my other tool bin and tool box to try and fill up the flat file. Nothing ground breaking, but thought yall might like to see. If you recall, the top drawer contains all my carbide inserts and some lathe tooling. The next one down is for end mills and other mill...

Stayed up late last night and got the mill head back together. I was going to start wiring the VFD for it, but I think i'm going to pull the table and saddle off next, get them cleaned up, make sure the oilers are working, and clean/adjust all the gibs. Decided to fire up the DRO and play...

Thanks! Thanks! Yes it was definitely the nastiest thing i've ever been in ;) Thanks Mike! Pretty sure I saw similar racks here at some point, but definitely not an original idea. I like making use of the 12' walls, even though getting that steel tubing up there was fairly tricky. Thanks...

How's it coming man? Pool done before Super Bowl still?

WOW! Beautiful home and property! That view of the mountains off the porch is incredible. Cant wait to see your shop come together, the sketch is exciting! :thumbup:

Supermax got a new pair of shoes And I did remember where everything went! Got the quill cleaned up and put back in along with all the external stuff and power feed mechanism. So far it all seems to work great I started to collect all my carbide and put it in one place. Top drawer of the...

Everyone already said it, but wow that floor, walls, and trim turned out great! very nice garage you've put together there!

I stayed up late the other night after the kids went to bed and got a little work done. I was able to mount my material racks and load them up with the wood and metal that has been laying around since we moved in. I staggered the spacing of the racks to accommodate different length sticks...

Wow, really nice place!

When i get some things cleaned up and put back in place, i'll remember to get a shot of the whole garage. There are a few in this thread that get most of it though. Thanks! yes it is nasty. This Supermax has a cooling fan on the back of the head, so whatever environment it was in was super...

Got some help to prime and paint my material racks We think they look pretty dang rad I also started tearing into the mill head. My good buddy had a great idea to mount a plate to the table with a post in order to stick the head on it. Made for easy removal and brings it down to a level i...

Thats an excellent idea! I will look into that! Thanks for the link to your thread, nice saw you have there. Mine works well for what I do. I'm not ripping 4x4's on it or anything. Thanks for stopping in! Yeah i kind of figured a long pole is the best/easiest solution. I'm getting more...

Thanks and Gig'em! Haha, i thought the same thing! thought for sure that would draw up a little conversation. Guess it'll be a little hidden gem tucked away in the middle of this thread now.
