Kerry Posted March 6, 2021 Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) To Nate’s comment... Wow, I’m now thinking of a smaller version I could inflate to do smaller jobs. I’ve seen the popup ones they use for spray tanning, but there a bit too small. Edited March 6, 2021 by Kerry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPI Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 Finally opened up the fancy little honing thing from Lie-Nielsen. Seems to be slightly better quality than the $20 Rockler one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naamanf Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 Made a IWO badge for a friend's wife's retirement. Maple machines SO much better than walnut.

VPI Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 Dude made some pretty cool giant trains as a hobby I guess. The drill press could come in handy. Also has ton of vintage microscopes from the old parent company of Leica. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin gilmore Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) the lathe is very decent, and capable of cutting screw threads if you ever need that. even though its early 1960's vintage. the other stuff is not capable of anything of high accuracy. at least not without digital readouts. And its heavier than it looks. just the lathe top is probably about 700 lbs Edited March 14, 2021 by kevin gilmore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
