My shop burned to the ground in December last year and took with it pretty much everything I had. I've been looking at mills and lathes and there sure seems to be a lot available out there in the used market. I found the mill I wanted and have already paid for it but the same guy has several...

I have gone through 10 gals so far and it looks like I'll need to get 5 more before it's over. I ran out with a 20X20 spot that I didn't have enough for. I thought this stuff would be slippery but even when it's wet you have very good traction on the surface.

What product did you use?

I just found some of the details on this product I used. "Surface Shine EX is a VOC compliant, high-gloss, non-yellowing acrylic polymer engineered as a cure and seal specifically for exterior surfaces such as exposed aggregate, natural stone, brick, quarry tile, terrazzo, and other concrete...

I never have been one that has to have everything looking like it was made for a king or a queen, I'm to practical for that. I've seen machine shop floors that have been painted or coated and they do look nice but my main objective is to mainly keep down the cement dust that you never can stop...

I finally got my floor poured and my new building is starting to go up. It was a near perfect day when they poured the floor. It was around 65* and The winds were light and vairable. My plans called for #3 and #4 rebar in the footings but didn't call for wire mesh to be added. I used #4 and #5...

Thanks!

Looks good to me but I'm still a little cornfused with a couple of things. In your 1'st pic is that three different pieces or did you turn down that 3X3 and if so how much? Also I'm not real sure what you meant in that 5th line in # 738. Also how did you attach the tool post to that piece of...

Keyblazer, I've been looking at this for a few minutes and can't get my head wrapped around this radius turning thing a ma jig you got there. Would you mind sharing a little bit more about how you made it and how it attaches to the lathe. I like it and probably would make an attempt at making...

A couple more...... I can't believe I don't have a pic of my Craftsman, I'll have to look around and see if I can find one

Okay I guess it's time for me to chime in. I have a couple drill presses, a Craftsman and a delta that I don't think are really old but this bad boy is from back in the early 50's. It's a 21" Bickford Super Service that found it's way home to my shop. I had to build a RPC to be able to run it...

Thanks BillK I got both of the docs and they were miles ahead of anything I had. That was very kind of you to do that, thanks again!!

PM is on the way.........Thanks

Yeah I get you there with problems with turned rotors. Most if not all problems with rotors that end up giving trouble can be traced back to the person running the machine. Sloppy setup, not checking to see if there is enough meat left on the drum or rotor before you start and making sure you...

Yeah, that's the way it is in this new world we live in, people don't fix anything anymore they just throw it away and buy new stuff. I can understand some of it because now with labor and the cost of equipment it almost cost as much to turn them as it does to replace them on most cars and...

Mine is a 204 I think. Everything I have pulled off the internet even the one I bought off e-bay is not very clear at all. You can hardly read most of it and the one I have doesn't mention a word about how to use the thing. If you could do that for me it would be great. Thanks!!

Great!! I mean being busy that is it seems everybody is busy now days. That looks almost like mine except I changed my wiring around and did away with the light switch where it was. I wanted to hook up mine to a welder plug so I had to add a couple of circuit breakers for the motor and light...

Pics would be great, thanks. I have seen several pics on the net with the drum cutter mounted on the power feed side. I don't know if it was setup that way to use or just the way it was stored away. But the rotation of the spindle as you mentioned makes sense I hadn't thought about that. If you...

Thanks about the tip about Goodson. There was a bunch of tooling that was in buckets but as with most stuff that has been just sitting in a back corner somewhere it was pretty rusted. I'm going to try and clean it all up when I get time to get back on it. I have three arbors, one great big one...

There was this guy standing in his over loaded garage the week before last and stared at this big hunk of junk that his father left him several years before. He didn't know if it even worked as it was all rusted and banged up looking. He didn't want to part with it but his wife pretty much made...
