The Home Machinist!

A bonfire on that stump, will solve all your problems

Nice too see someone endorseing manual kathe work for a change, instead of cnc, this and that all the time

I'd rather pay the higher price for American made tools, and help support somebody's job here

I've never gotten anything but Chinese garbage there

Why can't i find a good quality, pump oil can ?... the oil cans like at lowes, home depot..are just typical Chinese junk. There usually plastic, with molded threads, and the kids won't stay screwed on. Found some I thought might work, for one home, and you have to pump it about 200 times, before it ...

Lol

Does anyone know where to get this green velvet steam cylinder oil now....I havent bought any in a long time

What does the war, tiger,and pander tanks, have to do with American trains ??

Why are there always squabbling factions, power struggles, egoes, and people who have ti get there hands in everything

Has anyone had any experience with the Mobil 600w steam cylinder oil...

Any ideas out there?...I'm looking for some kind of a non heat smoke generator, I can put in my wooden caboose, to look like smoke coming out the smoke stack?...I've looked at the h.o. scale model railroad smoke generators, but they don't have enough volume for 1 1/2 scale...

Thanks for all the input...seems the majority is not In favor of it !!....gonna junk that pvc reservoir, and go with copper pipe and end caps !!!
