    A "quick" project

    That is the most nostalgic sound. The other two that bring back many memories are the old two cylinder tractors and the sound of a steam engine working. I could listen to those all for hours!

    Nice job! We had several of these on the farm growing up and none of them looked or ran as nicely as yours!

    It appears I've broken my printer...

    Still trying to figure out how to program the circuit board...this stuff makes no sense to me at all. When tech stuff stops working I can't make it work again. I have a friend that knows this stuff. Just trying to co-ordinate a time for him to come help

    Machine quality question

    Machine quality question

    This post brings up many of the frustrations I have encountered. I was hoping to be able to "transform" my small lathe to do what I wanted, but, have come to realize that I may be asking more than its designed for. So, I concur with your assessment on knowing when its time to just get the right...

    Machine quality question

    Thanks for your input. This really helps me, I want to try my best to compare apples to apples and get the best machine I can afford. I would be ok with gear changes (as long as it was easier than my present lathe) but a gear box would definitely be preferred. I have a very limited knowledge of...
