    HERO TIME - My Dream Lathe has Landed!

    At least he had the keys to the shop. I was thinking he would have claimed he lost them and you needed a "universal key" aka crowbar.

    One less John on the Forum

    He does have a very long list of accessories on a spreadsheet. (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ViZLObLg0FApElK7Gp6mtcK4iTxHpkJRjRyvEUykIUc/edit?usp=drivesdk) Would have been nice to see the total. I just did a rough running total in my head and came up with about 13K, give or take...

    Full Hobby Machine Shop. Selling only as package deal. $10,000 - Whitby ON

    Quick Look at the prices he lists, and might be $13,000 worth. But that's today's prices. Hard to say what he paid for it. So, yeah, might be retail.

    How to clean up a crusty ruler

    I went through similar. Shoulder surgery and 6 weeks in a sling. When the sling came off I couldn't get my fingers under my arm to wash. Couldn't believe how tight it froze up, and in what seemed like a short time. My shoulder recovered well. How's yours doing?

    Tips/Techniques Making the Square Drive hole in a custom socket.

    I'm just guessing, but I think this conversation only ever happens in your head. (except for the first statement from SWMBO) And I don't know what your drivers licence says, but are you 17 y.o? ("again") ;)

    DavidR8's shop shenanigans

    I also do not tighten/loosen the belt when the motor is running. I tighten the belt and then use the "engagement" lever on the saddle to start it up in either forward or reverse. Take the tension off the belt to help prevent belt stretch. The tool and Die maker I bought the lathe from used...
