Perhaps we should rethink the ICE and use lithium instead of gasoline ...

Looks nice and compact Sid. Being able to swap chucks between the Hardinge is pretty handy too.

Can't wait to see the projects you make...

Great job. The beauty of having a home shop and the ability to make replacement parts should put a smile on anyone's face. I made a complete spindle...

I think you're in a real goldilocks situation here, and will either have to modify an existing product to tick more boxes, make your own ground up solution...

That's a pretty cool idea. I've got an old stoplight, and a walk/don't walk sign I've been wanting to light up for a while, but never get around to....

Everything is a balance. You CAN overpower a machine frame. It doesn't take much. It's like stuffing a big v8 into a small suv to up it's towing capacity....

Finally got some time and found the problem with the coolant pump on the Tormach...

Just a wee bit of flubber in the tank....

It will all go after I do. None of it is of any great value, most value is wrapped up in the memories of things I made with them, and the people I made...
