The Home Machinist!

Before I built my current garage, it was plenty dirty, always tripping over stuff and digging through piles to find what I needed. After having to move everything out to have the new one built, I vowed to never allow it to get like that again. I am also getting a little older now, and realizing that...

Show off???? If I were showing off, don't you think I would have posted these pictures too??? :wink: http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u169/ksierens/Shop/oliverdiefiler.png http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u169/ksierens/Shop/IMG_0542s.jpg http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u169/ksierens/Shop/Div...

Geez, no updated shots of my little Benchmaster in the shop either!

Oh, I also noticed that I haved shown my Craftsman 101.21200 lathe either! Here are pics right after I moved it to my shop, and the attachments it came with:

Well I picked up a new 1952 Delta DP-220, 3 spindles and an Atlas W-68 table, just love that old steel. Here are some updated shots of my shop: http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u169/ksierens/Shop/dp-220.png http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u169/ksierens/Shop/dp-2202.png Now I am going to make a ...

I made a handle for the spindle on my Craftsman 101.21200 lathe that can also be used for indexing using the lathes change gears. http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u169/ksierens/Arborend.jpg http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u169/ksierens/Clamingend.jpg http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u169/ksie...
