Beautiful! I'm in!

Well, when considering the capacity of the lathe, the resulting tonnage of the blank, 10HP isn't too far fetched. 8' long by 18" chunk of steel is about 4 tons.:eek:

Eric,
Sent you an email yesterday via Sawmill Creek - let me know if you didn't receive it.

Check your local library - our little library has a few copies.
Wes
Curtis,
Kevin posted some insightful info. The problem statement you posted could have been handed to Engineering or Design. The new Unisaw was developed by a team of Mechanical Engineers and...
Paul,
Another option is to use furring, scraping only where the furring strips fasten. (and not worrying about the looks) This would allow you to use beaded planks, drywall, metal panels, etc....
I've used masking tape in a pinch, but this gauze from Lee Valley works really well.

It's a watch makers lathe. A check of the horology websites may give you more info.

Blake,
Go to the horses mouth - so to speak. There are books by Robert W. Lang that are well regarded. He has measured drawings of Craftsman furniture designed and built by Stickley in a few...
Bob,
I couldn't find the Wilke website, only a few listing sites with contact info. I think they changed the name to C.H. Wilke, if so, the numbers are listed below.

Sandy Pond was about 2 miles north of Groff and Groff (on RT272) Don't know if they are still there though.

I picked one up a while ago to use for removing the grout from the tub surround tile. I didn't want to ruin a $3-400 tool with the dust and grit from the grout. The HF model worked well. I have...
We had been planning for a while to buy a new (new or used) car this fall. But honestly, we can't find anything that seems to be worth the money and hassle. Our "good" car is 8 years old, the...
Looks like Cabela's for woodworkers!

Mike,
I used their parts, but I think trolling eBay and Craigslist etc. you could find them cheaper. I am still surprised how well it went together. There are plastic sheets that double stick...
Mike,
I built this one years ago. It's worked great.

Here's an exerpt from a report concerning the suitability of use for the Metasequoia. (Dawn Redwood)
Since its introduction into the United States in 1948, this deciduous conifer has...
Al,
Understood - but in my case a power vent for a boiler - bearings went bad - one part number for the whole assembly. I don't expect them to take my diagnostics as fact, but I do expect them to at...
Count me in as well!
Thanks, Wes
Glenn,
I did the same thing - same kind of timer. So far It has worked out. If I haven't used it in a while, and know I'll be using the drill hard, I'll pop one battery in the charger just to top...
Mike,
I feel for you - and have had a similar experience only with the servicing of our boiler. Seems many servicing companies have a policy of not "taking into consideration the customer's amateur...
Buying a new mattress is worse than buying a used car. At least you can fix the car.:rolleyes:
Oh, hope you like the sheets Todd!

count me in as well!
Matt,
Funny how things work - I'm in the market as well. I came across a unit on eBay - search: The Quietest pencil sharpener
I need a unit to mount on the wall, maybe this might work for your...
