Whew! Just made it through everything and WOW! Love it! The shop is incredible, and I love the barn-doors you built for it. The equipment is great too, I can't wait to see more of that cool little mill you picked up and what you tear into next. That Rockwell belt grinder caught my eye from the...

Sorry to hear about your landlord, but glad to hear there's a silver lining! Can't wait to see shots of the new set-up! Sent from my B15 using Tapatalk

Haha living in Canada I just thought that was how wheel wells look. Never seen a car that was more than a year old that looked any different.[emoji14] Still loving this thread. The spiral ducting looks so awesome! Sent from my B15 using Tapatalk

I love this post, and that first picture is awesome. Sent from my B15 using Tapatalk

I love those conduit fittings. Everything is looking awesome!

Thought you other lathe junkies might want to see the thread I have about fixing up mine. It's on another site, I might make one here at some point too, not sure. http://canadianhobbymetalworkers.com/threads/rockwell-11-lathe.176/#post-1787

Oh, I know. Parts are next to impossible to find. Luckily I'm a machinist, and 3 of my neighbors are/were machinists for the University Chemistry and Physics departments. I can pretty much make anything I might need or get it made by someone I know. Otherwise I never would have bought this...

Oh man, I'm so glad I found this thread!! I recently bought the same machine, but the very base-model (no accessories, threaded spindle, etc.) I've been tearing into it slowly but surely. Cleaning it up in sub-assemblies (I don't want to take it down to nuts and bolts until I can ensure that it...

We have centimeters, decameters (no one uses those ones) and meters too. We're ca-raaaaaazy! [emoji14] Sent from my B15 using Tapatalk

That's 80.3" if anyone was wondering. [emoji14] The press is looking great, Jlowe!! Sent from my B15 using Tapatalk

You could make a second version where the bottom is cradled like the neck, but in the bottom of the cradle you have a T that allows a finger to come off, bend-up, and act as a stop so the bottle won't slide out. That's a really nice piece! That's Farmer's Market Fodder for sure. :P How much...

PM sent, thanks again! To be honest, I work in a very boring shop right now. We cut threads and repair threads for oilfield and coring work. We're a glorified tap and die set. :P Hoping to some day either be able to make a go of it doing general metal-fab on my own, or get into one of the...

Wow, just read through this whole thread (at work, shh! The machine is still running) yesterday and this morning. What a transformation!! We're in a recession in my province right now, it's definitely tough. I'm a machinist and I think our trade has been hit worst of all, I'm lucky just to...

Hey guys, sorry if this should be in General Parking, but since it pertains to DIYers and fixing things I figured I'd stick it here. I just read this article and thought I should share it. Fixing electronics isn't something I normally do since my knowledge of all things sparky is next to none...

I was going to say the same as astroracer. Use anti-spatter spray as well, of course. I almost always TIG weld, so for me that would be a thing of beauty. Congratulations, you sure do ****! Sent from my B15 using Tapatalk

That certainly looks right, 2oolhound. Thanks a lot for the input guys.

I should clarify: this is at an auction that is happening tomorrow, and this crappy picture is all they have of it. They listed it as an "industrial milling machine" (which is hilarious) so I really don't have anything to go off of.

Anyone know what make this little ****** would be, and possibly what it would be worth? Thanks!

Interesting fix. Thanks for sharing it! Haha thanks, Fretters. I will. Sent from my B15 using Tapatalk

Mind showing more pictures of that gear repair? Not quite sure what you're end goal is there. Do you use the posts to weld/braze on a new chunk of steel then file it to shape, or have access to a horizontal mill? I recently picked up my first Lathe. A Rockwell 11". I'm super excited, but I'm...
