Lots of great advice here about how to go about removing your pulley from the motor. I would like to say there are different penetrating oils and some do work better than others. I prefer Kroil with PB Blaster being a close second choice. I have heard of a homemade version of a solvent and...

Nice looking build you have going there Stew. Thanks for posting the pictures to show the setups and how engines are created from pieces of metal.

I have the Harbor Freight version of that saw. I changed the stand and made a few adjustments on the blade guides. Ended up with very usuable saw that cuts well. I was able to buy mine on sale and used a 20% coupon to make the choice easy for me. Here is the link to the thread I made...

Welcome, looks like a nice work station. The pull out shelf is a nice feature.

Thanks for posting those pics, they really do tell the story. First time I have seen this mod and will add it to my ever growing list of things to do list. Dave

Thanks for the big reveal. Looks like it will be a nice ride.

Thanks for the information. I will leave the 3/8 steel in the pile. I found some 1" aluminum while I was cleaning up today. May try to cut that up tomorow and see what I can do with it. Thanks, Dave

Could it be a hovercraft?

Dave, I have a 7x10 with the bolt on spindle. I do have a X2 milling maching to cut the slots with, just don't have a bit to cut T slots with. Does anyone have the faceplate LMS sells? http://www.littlemachineshop.com/products/product_view.php?ProductID=1199&category=1 Or would I be better...

Hello all, I don't have a face plate so I thought I would try to make one. I have some unknown .375 steel I found in the pile. Will this be thick enough to make a face plate out of for a mini lathe? Thanks, Dave

Nice shop, I too would like to see what is hiding under the cover.

Looks like a great place to work in. Thanks for sharing your setup.

Looks like it is ready to go to work on a very sturdy bench.

Brian, Sometimes the only way to get what you want is to build ityourself. Can I offer a suggestion? Are you planning on adding a stop to keep the drawers from completely pulling out and dumping in the floor?

Brian, Some commercial boilers use "sight glasses" so you can watch the flame pattern when adjusting the combustion settings. I found a 2" x 1/4" glasses doing a quick search. http://www.statesupply.com/maintenance-supplies/boiler-room-supplies/gauge-glass-and-accessories/ed1027 Good luck...

Chucketn, How many wires were connected to the control board shown in the picture? Is it possible to trace the Hot and Neutral, usually black and white, from the plug to the control board?

Speedy, I have used "Kroil" for stuck parts before with great success. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000F09CF4/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 It is highly flamable so be careful if you start heating after you have oiled it down. Good Luck,

I call it my garage even though I will never fit a car in it. I have an aggrement with my wife, the next house we buy must have a detached building for a shop so I wont have to hear about the smells, dust, or chips getting in the house.

You have a very nice set up there. It looks like a great place to "piddle" around in.

Welcome Harold, I ordered three of your books last week. Looking forward to building my own grinding table using your plans. Dave
