Bin dere, done dat.... pretty regular in fact.... :D For the record this sort of "sidetrackitis" can strike us even in an organized shop. In...

That being the case, I would suggest a Motorola Moto G5, get an unlocked version so it will have much less bloat ware. It is without a doubt the...

Way back at the beginning of this thread, I said that it appeared as if some of the engines dimensions looked like they might be straight conversions...

Hi Paul. Mine's also mounted on the bench. Here's a shot with some better lighting of where the countershaft bracket meets the lathe: Here's a...

Seems like there is a nice little Hardinge just down the road from Houston ...

The shop owner is working on it.. Should have probably sold it in the spring but will try and get it out of there soon.

Don't mess with his rush worldview. If rush said it, it's true to him. Brian

It's pretty obvious what the problem in the pictured shop is A shop is no place for a vehicle - get it out of there before it gets scratched

Looks a lot like my shops. Brian

Ah ok, that not what I wanted to hear. I guess he'll have to make a suitable bench for it. Thanks for all of your help and replies. RichR is...

Yeah that's like my 9" Logan. The countershaft mounts to the bench. If I remember right the distance between the countershaft mounting holes and the...

I love mine. Use them a lot and I've gotten far more life from them than I ever expected. I use it for buffing off surfaces as well as deburring...

Yes Pinterest hosts the pics, but I don't think you can link to individual images--only to an "album" (they call it something else) with a bunch of...

Its attached to the bench, not the lathe. Have fun with it, Mike

I highly advise you get out of the habit of "drop-kicking" your phone and just get an iPhone and a protective case. You can also take cool...

His old Lathe has a different assembly. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

We can't see how the countershaft motor assembly fits to the Lathe? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Samsung Galaxy S5. Been carrying it for 2-1/2 years. Its always on me when I'm in the shop. I have a belt holster for it.

You can get a decent used or refurbished phone in the $200 range, or one of the cheaper no-name versions new. Personally, I bought an older iphone...

Hi, Yep, when they glaze or wear too fast, just get some scrap steel and lean on it bit on a sharp edge to wear off the cloth backing. Large flat...

I guess I'd have to say I'm another "reluctant" smart phone user. Carried a flip phone around for years but about a year ago I lost my trusty old...

If the holster's clip isn't secure enough, I put a wrap of self-fusing tape on one side of the clip. Some holster clips are quite aggressive, some...

Unions weren't responsible for the flawed design.

I think the planet is generally very reflective. If you replace the white sand that reflects most of the radiation back with black sand, the earth...

It looks like the sun is extremely dominant in the green wavelength. That must be why plants are green, they reflect most of that energy back.

The way I see it, you're paying $230 for a hydraulic power plant and ram. You'd have to build the rest. Alternatively, you could buy a ram and power...

Either the panels get heated, or the ground gets heated. Your choice. The stored heat after the sun goes down is the least of your worries..... ...

Hmm... yeah, I can't see paying $700 or even $500 for a phone. I'm looking more in the $200 range. More than that, and I'll just buy another GPS and...

How about the time John Wayne punched a reporter that got in his face and told John that he was only tough in the movies. The reporter ended up in...

My concern(s) are the solar panels radiate lots of extra heat. When the sun goes down, all of the panels will continue to radiate heat. Say you have...
