Thanks I also like “It’s always sunny in the shop” Especially his lathe.

Who can name some new manual machining channels I haven’t seen? Abom79 used to be great but he’s turned into a travel channel. Fenner was good maybe he still is but I’m a bit soured with him. I still watch mrpete222 but I’m looking to watch some new people. Any suggestions?

I do very little to no wood work, so aluminum or metal more than likely.

Who makes the Best hole saws?

Is that how go-kart sprockets are made? in two pieces? I thought it was decorative at first.

What does it do/what’s the purpose? I mean other than carry cut in half sprockets?

I started this parts washer project.

I understand what you’re doing, I don’t have the ak but... I like making jigs, fixtures, etc. Things like that are challenging to make and rewarding when you’re finished.

After rebuilding my Keyless Albrecht drill chucks I decided to tackle my Jacobs 1/8-3/4 Super Chuck. To remove the outside cover or whatever you call it, it has to be pressed off. I bored out a piece of steel to 2.600 to do the job. This chuck wasn’t as nasty as the Albrecht chucks. I did do...

Yeah that should definitely come off. Looks filthy, like they were using it for clay pottery or cement or something.

I don’t recall, but I have taken some in the past. I guess I’d have to call the doctor and inquire about the meds and their time frames.

LOL I looked up nervous stomach, they are calling it IBS now. I do seem to have some of those same issues. I’m 52, DO NOT SMOKE, and rarely ever drink any caffeine. These issues started about 3.5 years ago I guess. I take fiber regularly and try to eat a salad every day. It’s extremely easy...

This is not meant as a joke, but when I go out to the garage, I almost immediately have to go back in to the house for a number 2. LOL It’s very aggrevating. I’m not sure if it’s the smells, or the anxiousness to get going on something or maybe the exercise from the 75ft. walk from the house...

I’m looking for a supplier that might have some Diaphragm type of material similar to what was used on the old Moore Jig Grinders. Is anyone familiar with this and where I might find it at a cost a non-millionaire could afford?

Thanks. I started working on it a year ago, I was still in school at the time, so I could only work on it a little at a time up until recently since I finished school.

I figured I’d post my final pics. here in the machine work thread instead of the repurpose thread since I have more machine work in it than repurpose probably. It took sawing the steel, then milling it to exact length, drilling and tapping holes, welding, and a little wood work too. It has 5...

I rebuilt my Albrecht drill chuck over the past few days after work. I watched Tom Liptons rebuild video and that got me going on it. I used a piece of lead sheet to break the hood loose, I didn’t have any copper sheet like Tom used. The lead flashing worked great. It was absolutely filthy on...

Today I came home from work and said good riddance to the first machine tool I ever bought. A Smithy Lathe/Mill/Drill. Don’t get me wrong, I learned from it and I also learned I’ll never buy another one and would never recommend that anyone else buy one. It was 20 years old, and everything...

In Indianapolis, the utility companies are only responsible for areas in the front yard If I’m not mistaken. There could be an old cistern and clay tile septic lines in your back yard, I fell in an old cistern in my back yard when I was digging up an old slab with a backhoe, I had to dip...

My nose is pretty sensitive, unless you’re running a wash cycle afterwards to disguise any smell left over from the parts and oil chemicals etc. I’d probably smell it.
