Nice clean job. Good attention to detail. What's the size? Gord

Looks awesome, nicely done! Gord

Hi babzog, I've got the same lathe. For what I paid for it I am very happy with it. There is lots of information out there on how to run a lathe. Answering your specific question in regards to the speed of the carriage...the speed is dependant on the gearing. When you purchase the Craftex...

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I placed an order this morning. I admit I was very nervous about using UPS, I have had nothing but bad experiences with them. After reading the positive information OnlineMetal has to say when it comes to shipping, I am willing to give it a chance. I let you...

Thanks MeentSS02 and Jason. I'll put a small order in and see how they do shipping it across the border. I appreciate the input. Gord

Has anyone here had any experience dealing with OnlineMetals.com? It's hard to find good pricing in Alberta Canada for locally available, small quantity, stainless steel. I deal with Metal Supermarket, and they have what I want, however their pricing is outrageous. Doing a price comparison...

I like the set up. It's clean, organized, and has very useable space. Nice place! Gord

Nicely done! Clean and functional, I like it. Gord

Never have seen one but awesome idea. Depending on the class of hitch and the load requirements I think is completely possible. The tailgate would not necessarily need to be opened. Depending on the hydraulics and pivots used the picker side can pivot and store in the bed. Get the welder out and...

The multiplier is geared. For a example a 2:1 torque multiplier would require you to set your torque wrench to 150 ft/lbs in order to reach the required 300 ft/lbs of torque. Gord

Depneds on the type of work you do and the extend of your tool coleection. I own a set of crowfoots and use them very seldom. However I also own a set of short, standard, and long wrench sets along with flex sockets, universal joint sockets and wobble extensions. I will always use anything other...

My hat is off to you Robert. Thanks for posting the panel fabrication. Quite often brains will take you further then the equipment. Gord

I have a 24 x 36 garage that had to meet the same requirements as yours. I needed to house 2 daily driver cars, the yard equipment, and accomadate a workshop. With some careful planning it was completely possible. I found the key to success is all in the planning. Trying to make a shop work by...

That welding shot is awesome! Gord

Looks fantastic! Can't wait to see the finished pics. Gord

I purchased a Hypertherm Powermax 45 about a year ago. The unit has served me very well, the performance is fantastic. I cut up to 1/2" steel on a regular basis plus use it extensively for 18 gauge sheet metal. I did a fair bit of research before the purchase. I spent time on CNCZone and found...

I agree with everyone else. I've got one and love it.

I agree with Jack, sometimes the labor factor is not worth the effort. If I have no projects on the go I would build the tire racks. I have to ask myself wether I want to spend my time building racks or completeing other projects. The amount of metal and paint on those racks are not $123.00...

I built a couple benches framed out of 2 x 2 square steel. I had a local fabrication shop bend the steel tops for me. I then sheeted the steel frame with 3/4" G1S plywood. I wanted casters on them so I could move them into the middle of the shop in case I needed more room for the projects. I...
