Mecanotrain,

Very nice collection of tools you have. I have not seen a grinder like your tool grinder before. It looks like it can be adjusted to do lots of different work besides tool grinding. I would like to know more about it.

Thank you for posting your shop pictures.

I like the saw, too! Something like that is super-handy for pieces a bit too large for a hack saw, and the cut is probably super-straight. You could mount a drip lube setup on there for ferrous or aluminum, if you wanted.

Thanks for sharing.

Nice, some clever approaches to home made tooling too.

Jack works for the reverse, it is necessary that the pump is immersed in oil. It's easy !!
Here's a little drawing to explain:

Hi Roger. Thanks for posting some great machinery. I can't get over the size of the wheels on the locomotive. Must be close to six feet diameter. 8)

Hi Roger,
Nice to see you on this forum. That locomotive looks like a fun hobby.
