    Lathe bed flatness

    I went through an 820 Logan years ago and found shims under the back left hand side of the head stock. The lathe came from a machinists estate sale and was in pristine condition except for spindle bearings. I got lots of not very nice comments about that on the Logan forum; "it's junk, sell it...

    He hammered out vases, watering cans, bowls. Made a few copper/stained glass porch lights. Tap,tap. Interesting to watch him form a vase or a dish from a circular sheet.

    Cheap LED Shop lights

    I went with 8ft Hypercon conversion tubes from Amazon what a difference! Only issue is insane static on the FM radio and they are somewhat directional so there's not a lot of reflection from the white ceiling

    Need a hand in Saskatoon

    Purolator says it doesn't need to be crated but there's a $21 "surcharge". Probably because it has a handle and you can just pick it up! Crating it would push it past the 50 lb. freight limit too. Hopefully the Purolator rep in Penticton has some concrete info tomorrow. Getting tired of endless...

    Need a hand in Saskatoon

    A fellow in Saskatoon has a 45 lb., 10 ton ratchet (house moving) jack for sale and I'm wondering if some fine gentleman in the fair town could pick it up and drop it off at Purolator for me. I can make it worth your while. It looks like Dec 8/9 is maybe the "warmest" for a while. Storey: Saw...
