SB: you definitely get to see some sky with your job don't you? is flying in winter a LOT MORE CHALLENGING with weather and landing and take off conditions or after 40 years of flying maybe it's just a job?

I bet you have to get a FLU SHOT every year don't you or how do you seem to not get sick? I haven't had a Flu shot ever that I know of and it seemed like in my 50's I got sick around new years every year most likely from one of the kids bringing home a bug for Christmas.

speaking of Christmas it's been a joy following your adventures this year so hope you and your family have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and here's to 2019 being even more fun at the LONE BEECH GARAGE.

cheers

DrivesItFar,

Merry Christmas to you & yours as well!

Flying in the winter... Each season has its challenges. I suppose early fall is usually the most benign ...but, yes, winter - when you have to de-ice the airplane or when the runway has snow falling on it - is particularly "fun". Fortunately I haven't had to deal with that on this trip. I'm in San Francisco at the moment and we'll leave for JFK this afternoon. It is supposed to be raining when we get there but it looks like the temperatures should be well above freezing.

40 years of flying... actually just 38 years. Ha!
I think experience is helpful since I've encountered several landmines during that time. However, there always seems to be something new to deal with - this trip has been interesting in that regard - although it tends to be the non-flying events that really makes me scratch my head.

I've never gotten a flu shot... I suppose I should do that one of these days.

Well I'm over half way through this trip and I'm REALLY looking forward to getting back to the Lone Beech Garage this weekend!

Best regards,

Scott

SB: if you've made it to your age without a FLU SHOT might I suggest you remain shot free. there is always a downside to taking pills or shots so the more you can feed your body naturally the better. just stay in your bubble and if you are about people with colds/flu just make sure to wash regularly and try to keep from touching them and or stuff they touch or use.

I'm just getting over a cold and while it wasn't fun I'm 63 and the only pills I take are Advil gels every now and then for REALLY SORE muscles and occasionally when i'm eating bad or sick and have a headache.

I don't want to end up like my old relatives that took 20 pills a day where one pill was taking care of a side effect of another pill and so on.

hope you arrived home safely and it's amazing all the places you've seen and visited just doing your job.

also in case you need some storage FLAT FILES are becoming somewhat reasonable if you might have time to look for some. here's my Army green LYON ones that would really look nice in Lone BEECH's corners.

Those are nice looking cabinets!

You put the jinx on me... arrived back in the Peach State on Friday evening and was feeling the symptoms of an Upper Respiratory Infection and by Saturday evening there was no doubt. Called my doc - via his answering service - on Sunday and got some antibiotics. Hated to bother the guy over the weekend but his office was going to be closed until tomorrow for the holidays. If I had waited that long for medical intervention it would have been really ugly.

I didn't even go to the Christmas Eve service last night. I felt OK but I didn't want to ruin the service for those around me with my constant harrumphing.

Merry Christmas!

Christmas Day!

As a family we will exchange gifts next weekend. That gives me time to recover from this unpleasant URI (Upper Respiratory Infection) that I have come down with.

Still, I'm OK to do a bit of low-level shop work... I just cough a lot.






On Saturday I attended an Estate Sale as it was entering its final hour. I didn't see much of interest ...and then I came across these two small squirrel cage fans. It was interesting that they were completely self contained; a power cord and on/off switch for each unit. I'm wondering if they were originally a part of a fire place heat exchanger of some sort.

I caught the eye of one of the gentlemen working the sale. Holding the fans up I asked if I could plug them in. "They work!", was his reply.

I sat one down and asked - while holding the remaining fan - if I could check how much air it moved and he answered in the affirmative. I plugged in it in and turned the switch. The fan blew a decent amount of air.

Now the Boss Lady showed up and enthusiastically told me I should buy the two fans. I responded in an indifferent and puzzled tone that I didn't know what I'd do with them. "How much?", I asked.

"$5 for the pair", she replied.

I reached for a 5 spot from my wallet and thought to myself, "I guess I'll figure out SOMETHING to do with them."

When I got home I plugged them both in but only one worked.

Perfect ...glad I only paid $5.






Today I thought I'd see if I could figure out what the problem was with the unresponsive fan. I assumed the problem was electrical and was wanting to get at the motor but couldn't get the latches holding the motor cover off. I decided to try removing the squirrel cage cover to see if that gave me access to anything. When I got the fan cover off I discovered the squirrel cage was not wanting to spin. I worked it back and forth a bit and then it started spinning freely. I plugged it in and the fan worked.

I still don't know what I'm going to do with them. Ha!






Evapo-Rust is my new toy. I've been using it to de-rust a few small objects. Today I decided to see how it would work on some of my Powermatic 1150 Drill Press parts.

Item 1 (Depth Adjustment Rod) & Item 2 (Lock Screw) were removed from the Drill Press and dropped into the Evapo-Rust Bucket.

We'll check back on them late tomorrow. Hopefully this will move the refurbishing of the Drill Press forward a bit.






The LYON Table's last day of painting was marred by a windy day causing the drop "cloth" (paper) to blow up and smear the fresh paint.

Today I took the two drawers done on the last paint day and touched them up with a brush. These pictures are before and after of the worst touchup area. There were a few other places that needed some love as well.

I hope to work on the other two drawers tomorrow and perhaps a couple of places on the drawer housings. That should take care of the painting and then I hope to move the LYON Table to its new location and start using it as a work surface.

Checked on the Powermatic Drill Press items I dropped into the EvapoRust bucket last night...






Before & after: What a transformation!






I decided to give the EvapoRust another test. I removed the corroded compound handle from the 1956 Delta Rockwell 11-inch metal lathe and placed it in the bucket of solution. We'll check back on that tomorrow night.






Got the last of the paint touchup done on the LYON Table project. During the initial painting I had missed several places and these got a needed a dab of paint tonight. These before & after pictures of one of the drawer housings are representative of that.

We shall see.

Is EvapoRust available in your part of the world?

SB: as far as i've heard Evaporust really is a good product so not surprised it worked so well on your parts.

I'm sorry if my talking about my cold might have subconsciously given you one, but we don't run to the doctor to get any meds or shots once we get one cause there is usually some sort of side effect. usually what the doctor gives you is something to MASK THE COLD sort of like when i take Delsym 12 hour orange flavored cough medicine for my cough. Zinc seems to help us and good eats (soup and hot tea) helps too. I used to take sudafed 20 years ago that would just dry me up, but I quit taking that cause i don't want the side effects that it can cause.

hope you feel better soon and maybe having that nice shop to work in with all these old projects that are looking like new might help.

here's to a great 2019!!

Pulled the Compound Rest's handle out of the EvapoRust this afternoon...






I have to say, I'm amazed!






I reinstalled the Compound Rest's handle and removed the Cross Slide's handle. It was placed into the EvapoRust bucket.

I am pretty optimistic on what's going to happen next!

[Ole Slewfoot]

Some limits i have noticed;
It will destroy black oxide type finishes.
Evaporates if you don't keep a lid on it.
You want to remove the sludge left at the bottom, maybe coffee filter.

Its some pretty good stuff. If you unintentionally let it dry to a goo and you want to keep the container, throw some water in it and let it rehydrate for a day or two then rinse.

Keith Rucker has a couple youtube vids on the stuff, plus one where he talks about the paste/gel version that aren't bad watching.

I was unaware of a paste/gel version...

I'll take a look at Keith's videos - I had seen one where he baptizes some lathe chucks but I'll check out the others as well.

Friday - December 28, 2018





I removed the Cross Slide handle from the EvapoRust, rinsed it off, and remounted it on the 1956 Delta-Rockwell 11-Inch Metal Lathe. I think the EvapoRust did a great job.


Sharp readers of my recent posts regarding the Powermatic 1150 Drill Press may have noticed the Lock Screw was positioned on the wrong side of the Drill Press's head. I did not notice this when I purchased the machine a couple of years ago.

After the Lock Screw was cleaned up in the EvapoRust I examined an Exploded Drawing of the Drill Press and realized the Lock Screw should go to the opposite side of the Drill Press's head. When I tried to install it correctly I found it wouldn't thread into the Drill Press.






I removed the Lock Screw and examined the item closely. Now I could see the first few threads were mangled. I could just use a 2-1/2 inch 3/8"-16 (which is what I've done for the moment) but I prefer to have the correct part installed on the Drill Press.

Fortunately there is a Machinery Dealer, Redmond Machinery, not too far away from me. A family business that was established in 1943 it has an accumulation of old Powermatic machinery parts.

I called them today to see if they were having normal hours this week. The nice lady that answered the phone indicated they would be open until 5 pm. I drove over and walked in. I was greeted pleasantly by the same person I had talked to on the phone.

I then explained that I was looking for a couple of old Powermatic Drill Press parts... the lady told me that I'd need to talk to Scotty Redmond (grandson of the founder) and he wasn't there today. Apparently Scotty is the only one that knows where all the old parts are squirreled away.

I've previously walked around a bit in the Redmond Machinery's dark Inner Sanctum and although there does appear to be a pattern in how the old parts are arranged by machine type - Band Saw stuff here; Drill Press stuff there; Lathe stuff up there... apparently only Scotty can lead a person to the desired part in a timely manner... and I hadn't asked about Scotty's whereabouts when I called about their operating hours.

Sigh...

I left Redmond Machinery and returned to the LBG. I had decided to move the LYON Table to its working position this afternoon.






Moving the LYON Table required moving a few things around so it took a while to complete the task. Particularly since I was by myself. The biggest chore was moving a table that was positioned where the LYON Table was going to live. This table has quite a bit of "stuff" sitting on it from the original migration from basement to Lone Beech Garage.

Suffice to say the reshuffling of that deck of cards took an hour or so but eventually I had the LYON Table where I wanted it.






I decided that the 4-Inch Standard Vise would be mounted on the left corner of the LYON Table and drilled three 1/2-inch holes...






That's when I realized that I was going to have a bit of a struggle fastening one of the Vise's three "feet" to the table. In the picture, the mounting foot closest to the drill is positioned over the Drawer Stack. Thanks to the tubing support modification I made to mount the Drawer Stack, I'm going to have a difficult time getting a wrench in position under the table top.

Page of this thread that describes the tubing support modification can be found HERE.

I've been doing some head scratching and I THINK I can accomplish this but it's probably going to take two people to pull it off. The other option is to remove the Drawer Stack; fasten the vise to the table top; reinstall the Drawer Stack.

I'd prefer to avoid that.

Its some pretty good stuff. If you unintentionally let it dry to a goo and you want to keep the container, throw some water in it and let it rehydrate for a day or two then rinse.

Rehydrated, it still works, although maybe not as well....That might just be the age/use of my evaporust though.

Regarding the sludge... What happens if you don't remove it?

It keeps trying to work on the rust that's been removed, and loses some life in the process.


For the vise, can you make a nut plate like might be found mounting a car door hinge?

Set the vise on a 1/8+ strap or plate which runs across the difficult hole, and at least one other one.
Mark and drill holes(a little oversize).
Flip the vise, and bolt the plate to the bottom
Weld the nuts to the plate
Disassemble

Now you can reach under the table, and hold one corner of the plate while you drop a bolt from above, get that in 2 threads, and it will hold itself in place while you start the other two. Bonus, it will help keep a heavy pull on the vise from puckering the table. 2nd bonus, you don't have to counterhold anything.

 

[drivesitfar]

SB: any chance you can weld a small piece of steel plate under the hole that is giving you problems without the plate hitting the drawer? that way maybe you can drill and tap a few threads in the plate and not have the thickness of a nut and washer preventing the drawer's movement?

good luck

I've heard a couple guys keep draining their evaporust thru coffee filters to keep it pretty clean and they've had theirs in use for years by doing that and adding new product to the tank or container every few months depending on usage.

hope you are feeling better.

Ole Slewfoot,

Thanks for the EvapoRust info!

If I'm understanding your suggestion on the vise bolt correctly I think the strap/plate has to be able to have access to one other bolt in addition to the problem bolt. That isn't possible due to a piece of 1-1/2" square tubing being between the problem bolt and the other bolts.

Thanks for trying to help. I was able to fasten the bolt down this evening and I will describe the process in a future post.


Best regards,

Scott

DrivesItFar,

I am feeling much better - thanks!

Filtering the EvapoRust sounds like a good idea. I'll do that soon.

The "problem bolt" isn't interfering with the drawer. The Drawer Stack has a "ceiling" above each drawer. I had forgotten about this "ceiling" until I drilled the hole for the "problem bolt" and opened the top drawer to vacuum out the chips. There were no chips in the drawer due to the "ceiling" and that's when I realized, due to the "ceiling" and the support tubes on either side of top of the Drawer Stack, that my only access to the "problem bolt" hole was from the rear of the Drawer Stack. The "problem bolt" hole is about 16 inches from the rear of the Drawer Stack and the clearance between the Drawer Stack "ceiling" and the table top is 1-1/2 inches.

A problem to be sure!

With a little help from my son we got the bolt tightened down this evening.


Best regards,

Scott

Saturday - December 29, 2018




So the 3 issues with the "problem bolt" are: Location, location, location.

This picture of the side of the LYON Table will, I hope, illustrate the issues. Although the "problem bolt" is located on the opposite side of the vise, the dimensions are the same.

There is an arrow from above pointing to the location of the "problem bolt". There is a line below the "problem bolt" which, with the horizontal dimension arrow, shows the distance from the rear of the Drawer Stack. That distance is around 17 inches. The vertical distance arrows define the distance between the table top and the top of the Drawer Stack. That distance is 1-1/2 inches.

The "problem bolt" hole can only be accessed from behind the table; a nut needs to travel around 17 inches towards the front of the table via the 1-1/2" gap between the table top and the top of the Drawer Stack.

How to do this?






I used a magnet-on-stick to push a 1/2-inch nut along the bottom of the table top.






The magnet transmitted the magnetism into the nut and it was sticking to the table top. I pushed the nut towards the "problem hole". I got lucky and managed to get the nut somewhat under the "problem hole" reasonably quickly.






The magnet kept the 1/2-inch nut in place while I used a pick to line up the nut with the hole. Once the nut was lined up I could thread a 1/2-inch bolt into the nut.






This picture - looking through the gap between the table top and the Drawer Stack - shows the nut in place. At this point I couldn't adequately torque the bolt and nut together. I'd have to get help to accomplish that.



Continued in next post...

 

[sbosecker]

Continued...



We had our family Christmas present exchange this afternoon. After that was over, I asked my son for some help in the LBG.






We moved the LYON Table out away from the wall to get a wrench to the nut so it could be held in place as the bolt was torqued.

How hard could it be? Oh yeah... location...

We need a "special tool".






My son was laughing pretty hard when he saw what I had come up with... ...an open end 3/4" wrench inside a 1" x 2" x 22" piece of tubing. The secret ingredient: some newspaper stuffed inside the tube securing the wrench into position.






After I snaked my "special tool" into a position where the wrench captured the nut, my son torqued down the bolt.

The vise was now secured to the LYON Table.

SB: another great fix by the handiest guy in the LONE BEECH GARAGE. paper stuffing is the secret ingredient seems to have worked.

i'm from the night school of RED GREEN'S UNIVERSITY so i might have opted for DUCT TAPE, but sounds like you fix did the job. WELL DONE SIR!!

here's to a great 2019 and many many more cool projects started and finished in your cool new garage/shop.

cheers

I’m a day late and an idea short. Why didn’t you weld the vise on. lol. What would the possibility of pulling top drawer out and drilling a 1” hole in ceiling so you have future access to the fun bolt?
Here’s to a happy New Years

DrivesItFar,

Well it's not the Possum Lodge Garage so I went with something other than duct tape. Ha!

I needed the wrench to be "semi-rigid" inside the rectangular tube as I expected adjustments - and they were required to accomplish the task - to the positioning of the wrench would have to be made. The newspaper worked pretty well for that.

Happy New Year!

shortykorte,

A very Happy New Year to you as well!

I did consider drilling an access hole in the "ceiling" of the Drawer Stack but I thought that would have required a right angle drill and, even then, I'm not sure I would have had enough clearance to do the job. As I was trying to avoid dropping the Drawer Stack off its mounts, I managed to come up with another solution.

Had I been forced to drop the Drawer Stack to mount the vise, I was planning on drilling an access hole in the "ceiling" of the Drawer Stack to allow unfettered future access to the nut.

Best regards,

Scott

Monday - December 31, 2018


I have a 10-inch (250 mm) machinist Rotary Table that I procured from Craigslist some time ago. It has some mass and the handle requires that it be stored in a particular fashion. It's been sitting on some 2x4's in a corner of the LBG as I pondered how to deal with it.

Recently I received a Harbor Freight 25% off coupon that was good for December 30 & 31. Last evening I was thinking about what, if anything, I needed from Harbor Freight. I hadn't come up with anything until I started an Internet Investigation on moving & storing Rotary Tables.

One of the solutions I came across involved a smaller hydraulic lift cart.






This morning I drove over to a Harbor Freight where I presented my coupon and my credit card. I bought the smaller 500 pound Hydraulic Lift Cart and brought it back to the LBG. Some assembly was required.






I placed the Rotary Table on the Hydraulic Lift Cart and positioned the combination near the JET Mill. It looks like I'll need to build some sort of platform to mount on top of the Lift Cart. Eleven inches of additional height should do the trick nicely.

As I envision it, this dedicated contraption should allow safe movement of the Rotary Table, the Vise and other large items that come and go from the JET Mill's table.

A project for next year!

Thats awesome!

Our lift table has a tool cabinet that sits on it to bring the working top to the height we need.
