no help to the OP's original issue but in my home garage I use black Yoga mats. They are washable Roll up and store easily Comfortable on any surface......I have one in the jeep for off road repairs. And when I get frustrated I can do sun salutations,warrior pose,downward dog........to relax...

I was thinking any cost savings would be offset by the addition of the heat in the garage. I was just amazed at the 2" of foam on the exterior on top of what 2x6 insulated walls covered in osb wrapped in Tyvek........but as cold as it can get up there I undestand. Thanks for sharing!

Great build! I like the whole package with the house and garage. And that driveway is outstanding. I just read through this so I may have missed it but how is house heating bill and draft reduction after adding all the insulation?

Re: Geek's Garage @ 8000ft. Great start! Gonna have to figure out a 4x4 solution for the sprinter or a good plow for the driveway. ��

never driven the track, more a off road guy, but several friends have spoke about it. One of the older gentleman described the corkscrew this way. "The corkscrew is the only way you can drive off a cliff without the sudden stop at the bottom" Have fun at Road Atlanta, Panoz still involved with...

If you are down this way again PM me...........how was your stomach through the corkscrew?

Wow! "thud"

Here is the mill

Here are the tags on both motors.

Thanks for the advice from everyone! It is made in Austria and seems like very good quality. I think I will get it outside and use brake cleaner to get some of the oil/dust gunk film off and then follow up with the WD40 and a fine scotch-brite pad for the surfaces and rust areas. Electrical...

What do I do with slight surface rust in some of the areas?

Thanks for the info. I will check out those forums and Amazon the books. The Lathe is a little dusty and stiff to move the some of the components. What do I use to clean 20 year old dust/oil mix and then what oil should I use after?

Oops here it is

Ok a friend of mine is retired and he and his wife are going sell the house and hit the road for a couple of years. He gave me this old lathe and I have never messed with a lathe or a mill. I need to change the plug for the 220v to the one my air compressor uses and I need to get the cord to...

You just built my dream shop! Nice place. Next time we head up to see friends in Yreka will need to give ya a shout.
