Good to see you back Mike. Seeing pictures of your shop again reminds me where the dreams of what mine might one day look like were based on.

Thank you Nate. Glad to see you were able to move and hopefully it was a nice upgrade for ya although I know you were very proud of your yard as you should be, it was gorgeous. I know how much work moving is and how much it takes to get a new place whipped into shape so I wish you the best. I can say that I am glad my wife and I are in our "forever" home as I don't ever want to move again. I finally have my dream shop and home and don't ever want to go through that hassle ever again.


Awesome build and so much attention to detail. Love it.

Thanks Bart, I appreciate that.

Damn, that thing needs it's own build thread. Quality work! :cool:

Thanks. I thought my son was going to post a build thread on it but he hasn't gotten around to it and doubt he will as he has so many other irons in the fire. I had to steal his thunder I guess.


Amazing work Mike. Your attention to detail is impressive. I'll bet it was fun to spend time with your son.

Thank you for the compliment. I love hanging out in the shop working with my son. Unfortunately those times are becoming less and less lately.

I made me some table covers for the mill so i don't beat up the table from putting tools on it and to keep those damn chips out of the t slots.

Here is my old 13" South Bend lathe. Its from 1953 and was originally bought from South Bend by Salt Lake Hardware. You've seen the chip pan i made for i, now that my shop is moved around i made a little shelf for it out of an old shelf from a service truck.

Nice table covers for your mill. I thought long and hard about making some very similar out of aluminum for my mill but decided to use a neoprene rubber about 1/2" thick. Still sometimes waffle on whether I made the right choice or not. I like the rubber for setting things on but the aluminum would clean easier and not have hot metal chips stick to them as easily as the neoprene.

As i get older its harder to keep all the details of these builds in my head... now that im onto the wiring it is getting very frustrating to have to "re learn" how am going to wire it up...
but i like how it is turning out, i decided to run all the wiring on the out side of the engine compartment and have only the engine wiring come out from the cowl
