Last post by lab-dad - April 16, 2026, 03:19:25 PMThanks Stewart!
That's pretty high praise.
I owe it all to my mentors, many on here past and present.

Last post by EZnKY - April 13, 2026, 03:49:22 PMEverything looks fantastic! I especially appreciate the concrete pad under the horizontal mill - this is an often overlooked detail under the larger machines.
I agree that the floor is too clean. I've got cutting oil stains and the occasional swarf on the floor under my lathe, and it's only a jeweler's lathe!!
But really nice work!

Last post by lab-dad - April 13, 2026, 03:08:17 PMThank you gentlemen (except Unc the scallawag) for the kind words.
I finished the first machine February 25th 2012.
This has been a dream fora long time.
Unc, pictures were shot with a iPhone 12.
No filters or software.
Barney the star like was just a dirty lens. Probably sawdust!
I'm glad y'all like the shop.

Last post by Hydrostat - April 13, 2026, 11:56:48 AMLove the atmosphere! All the machines are looking great, but the little hacksaw is an eye catcher.
By the way. Who's cleaning that floor? I'd like to hire him/her/it in a politically correct manner!
The big lath tailstock seems to tend to bend the truth, a wide spread bad habit currently.
