Jerry,
Beautiful work. My wife would force me to make two of them.
Tell me about the pull out at the top. Is that a leather covered writing surface? Or does it have some other function?
Way back in the goodeldays I took two years of Machinist Practices in High School/Trade School (ain't it a shame they don't have those anymore). My instructor, Mr. Humberstone, was considered a...
I'd go for the three phase machine, less competition for bidding. Then find a used but running variable frequency drive that will convert single phase to three phase. I run my table saw that way. ...

How durable is the image you guys that do, engraved on marble and granite? Can the piece be put outside in the weather? I know marble will degrade over time because of acid content in rainwater. ...
I'm with Curt on this. There was likely a decal on or instructions sheet with the lathe that had a lubrication schedule. Each lube point was clearly shown in a picture, didn't have to be able to...

Go to the nearest Home Depot or Lowes and buy an aluminum 4' level.
Dave,

If someone purchased a Hermes Laser Engraver, model unknown at this time, in 2000 and paid ca. $40,000 for it what would it be worth today? I has been used in a business setting, at this time I...

Did you ask if the converter goes with the machine purchase? Also ask where to buy a $60 converter?
Morse Taper adapters can be off, but shouldn't be off. I would say the odds are that they will be dead on because that is what they are made for. The MT/JT arbor is made to mount a drill chuck, it...

As to, "can it be done". You should see welding crews move into a job site. There are 220v extension cords as thick as theves all over the place. Hundreds of feet of them to power welders. No...

This is a photo of a Southern Huntboard that I made about 25 years ago from Southern Heart Pine. The wood came from leftovers of a house that was built around 1868 in Savannah, Ga. It is a copy of...
I would assume that you are dovetailing the drawer fronts to the sides? If that is so, there is no way the fronts would warp.
