Rock on, Mr. Jean, rock on!!!!
I put some mid-70s Volvo buckets in my 57 Chevy p/u. To be more specific, they came out of a 144. Nice headrests, which could be removed if you...
only 4 yrs to go, lawman!!! and my darlin' (48) is already sayin' that about some of the stuff I do!!!
Seems you need a 'real' project to occupy your time!!!:) I spend a lot of time cleaning my tools, but haven't ever contemplated anything like...
53choptop's photo/approach is good and sound. Lifting from inside the cab, too, will give you a greater range of lift height than will lifting...
Got a problem that I'm not too sure of the best approach for: ~ rig is a '57 Chevy 3100 series p/u, refit w/ a 350/700R4 combo (from the...
I have to agree; I have a bead-roller on my list, and hope to actually get to it some soon day, so any of these 're-posts' are really useful to me!!!
The sweetest woman on the planet loves me for who I am, and that includes my shop and all that goes into (and comes out of) it. She has her...
How you choose to mount your stump is, in my view, primarily a function of what you intend to do with it, and how hard you're gonna pound stuff on...
I'll second that; lists like the Tri-Five make it a lot easier to find the stuff that that is relevant.
OK -- that makes a whole lot more sense to my visual brain! Really appreciate your posting to clear it up for me!!! Mike
Welcome, Jace, from 'real' eastern Oregon!
I don't want to throw a wet towel on the idea of getting your parts, but I'm sure I read in a very similar thread either on this board, or maybe...
didn't think you'd mind: ran this post over to the Tri-Five site (http://www.trifive.com/forums/index.php) -- you might get a bite from them. Mike
and welcome from the 'far east'...
Holy crap -- what does that thing weigh???? or by 'flywheel' do you mean the spoked, flat-belt drive wheel?
Hey bct, Like this positioner, especially the hinges. havin' a hard time visualizing, tho, how you'd mount much to that plate at the top. Do you...
a shield -- of any sort, really -- to keep the sparks generated from the grinding process from hitting stuff that may ignite
That's for sure on any setup -- sparks are NOT cool in our environment!!
keep that in the corner of the shop, dude, for later in the day -- no need to be slurpin' on the suds when you're doing somethin' as technically...
versatility -- cools the angst in the best of us!!!!!
sweet -- I'm primarily a blacksmith, so can relate to the red-font tag line you've got there!!!
And, it looks like you're working w/ a manually controlled mill, not a CNC machine -- right? If so, that makes it even cooler!!!
Wow -- you've got some time into this!!!
This little thing is incredibly simple, but pretty handy. It allows you to securely hold tapered stuff in your vise jaws: [IMG] [IMG] Just...
Mine is a bit larger (5'x6'), and thus quite stationery. I have a pipe rack under one edge that holds most of my vise grips, c-clamps, and a few...
Now I understand, Elpolacko, why you were so jacked up to get a 45t. press -- but your methods are just as sound if a guy would keep it to a...
nice work, ELpolacko!!! -- but tell us a little more about some of your dies, eh? Particularly like the logo, and the work on the firewall...
Can't you write that in the ordinance in real tiny magic marker or something?!?!? Bring your self home...
Using your tools (in this case, your lathe) to make your tools makes you more efficient and probably even smarter than the average shop schmoe....
