    It looks like my washer and rocker are about the same measurement as yours so I think yours are correct. I haven't located my old tool holders yet, I thought I might have them in my shop but maybe they are with the lathe. I didn't look for them when I retrieved the tool post as I didn't know...

    New Windows

    From what I've read and gleaned over the years about windows pretty much agrees with what you said above if I've understood you right. My take is that energy savings alone from triple pane windows isn't enough to pay for the cost increase . Sound reduction may be something you are willing to...

    I'll measure my washer and rocker and if they are smaller you can have them too. I know I did have both left and right tool holder but I also know I've repurposed at least one of them and I think I gave the other away to someone wanting to use it with a shaper. I'll check and let you know.

    I'm actually quite sure I do have one but I have it crated up with the lathe in storage. I'll try to get to it later this week if that's OK with you.

    Used and abused Robin bench vise

    Here is something that I wasn't expecting....in the body of the vise of the cylinder that holds the screw in, was an area that was a very defined area of old grease and crud. I dug at it and low and behold beneath the gunk appears to be a leather strip that would act as a lubricator/wipe for the...

    Tool Solid Rivets

    And for a better hold with pop rivets use SS steel rivets over the aluminum ones. I agree pop rivets are not for everything but sometimes it's all that is needed and it's easy and looks okay.
