That Joe was here today. We finally got to spend a little time together. Not only that but I got to speak with Shameless on the phone as well. Feeling blessed tonight. Look at this beauty resting comfortably in her spot.

Yes, Blessed you are.  Nice vice you have there...for that fact, nice set-up. Bridgeport type mill and a lathe. A person can do a lot with them if they have the skills. Is that all the insulation you need in the walls there? Sure wouldn't keep the 40 below winter out here. ------------- He who says there is no evil has already deceived himself The truth is the truth, sugar coated or not.

Lookin' good, Thad, great setup, but I think I may hafta bring you a larger lathe... Sooner or later, 'yer gonna need to swing something bigger, and longer...

Thank you JC. It definately needs insulation. It was originally built as a pole barn to keep my tractors dry. I’m slowly getting to the insulation. I’m adding stud walls between each post and using bats on the walls. Hoping to win the power all and spray foam the lid. |

Steve it worked out very easy. Once you and I discovered the light had its own power source. I ran a separate power for the light and hooked up the rotary phase converter my self. It was actually fairly easy. The big switch on the columns is strictly foreword or reverse. The switch on the head turns the main motor on in high range and low range. It runs which way the reverser switch designates. The small switch on the columns is the power feed on and off/foreword and reverse. The mull must be running for the power feed to run. |

Yes Dave I’ve already had a few times the lathe wasn’t big enough to turn what I needed. I may sell this one and upgrade at some point. Thank you for all the help along the way. |
