Today I acquired...........

[Farside]

Ive had an old flat 6 Lycoming aircraft motor on one of those, they are BIG lumps. Didnt like one bit

Yeah, I think for something that size I'd build a proper HD one.

Yeah, I think for something that size I'd build a proper HD one.

Think I would simply for the cost of the engine hanging on it, never mind size.

My ebay special stand seemed okay hanging onto a 5.7l Dodge hemi V8 though.

Although the Chinese engine hoist that uses a very similar "chassis" to your stand made me rather nervous with the engine a long way up in the air to get it over the nose of the car, which was on ramps for underside access . . . up a sloping rough tarmac drive . . .

This sheet of flooring was 6m long when it came yesterday,it’s now devoured for treads and a landing.

 

[Craig-SM]

Thank you very much .... though ...

.... what are you referencing, Craig?

I only have the round stock vice here at the start, no SSD, no mill - you like it that much?

It was referring to Kram's SSD, no idea why I've addressed it to you. Probably lack of coffee.

And this was an early Christmas pressie from my wife



It's a Metz jobbie, but I'm pretty sure the angle scale is slightly out




Overall its OK but the finish on some bits isn't great

Half the fun is tweaking, getting things spot on, & putting your mark on it.

That’s what used to be in there…time for something different, lighter and more powerful

Not far off

 

[Craig-SM]

Not the most exciting tool didn’t have one when I needed it so a quick look on FB market place and £15 lighter I have a 24” Kennedy Stillson

 

[Scalarocco]

This little lot arrived today...

Parts that go with this...

Along with other bits still to be acquired that will become an Electronic Leadscrew for this decrepit old lathe...

This may take some time...!

^^ You've persuaded someone to send you beer? What's the secret?

He just likes to keep his customers primed for more drunken purchases. Clever bastad!
