For those of you that are reading, Sorry I have not posted anything in a while. As you may have seen in my youtube videos, I have been doing some random projects here and there, but I have not shown what my big project has been. Recently we decided to make a "shop" room in the basement and isolate all my stuff into one room. I have not shown this yet because I am not finished, but I'm getting close. I think in the next week or two I will unveil it all to everyone.
I also picked up a new lathe as partially seen in my latest video. It is a Clausing 5914 Lathe built in the late 70s'. It's in really nice shape mechanically and now it looks better with a new coat of paint, which I didn't want to do, but It really did need it!
The collet closer is now gone, I didn't really need it and it's in place and just about ready to get put into use! I don't have any budget for these things so I buy and sell my way into these machines. There is no way I could just go buy any of my machines at this point while I am in school! They are a great investment though!
I also just picked up a few more lathes, mainly to part out or sell, but I did run across a little Atlas 618, which although I'm not an Atlas fan, this thing is so stinking neat, I might have to hang onto it for doing rifle cartridge case work!
We are about to welcome our 2nd child in the next couple weeks too! I have finals for another week, then some free time unless the baby comes of course! Hoping to get a few videos made before the end of the year!
