Dayam, Gunny!!!
I sure hope you win the lottery soon so you
can quit working and start fixing up your stuff.

Looks like about another lifetime's work.

You are correct.

All I have is a Milwaukee drill, a hacksaw, an old
B&D grinder, and a small acetylene rig.

That's why I read this ng, ya'll write about stuff
I'll never get to play with.

Also, I hope I win the lottery soon. Then I can
quit working and start buying stuff to make
blue chips with!

Well, Gunner has a bunch of stuff that I would love to have. I question a
new coat of paint on a piece of equipment. I also question obvious abuse.
I have bought stuff from Gunner with great results. I doubt he has a
machine on-line that is less than spec. Now the "back 40" is another story.

Well..I have been making a living doing machine tool repair for...12 or
so years so far..so making them work is something Im good at.

Paint..shrug..paint a machine, use the **** out of it..and in a couple
years it looks like **** again. So I dont care if its pretty or not. I
do care that it does what its supposed to do. And there are only two
machines in my shop that dont work that way. Larios 40 Taper horizontal
mill and Hales 5C horiz/vertical mill.

Both are in my pending Things to Fix section.

Now the smart folks may have noticed the Gorton MasterMill, the Hardinge
HLV-H, the Hardinge TFB and a few other interesting machine tools. No
South Bend, Hobby lathes, 6" Logans and other machinery that really
arent "precision" machinery. Same with the 3/4hp Rockwell..and the 2
small Walker Turner drill presses and the 35,000 RPM microdrill.

On one of the racks in the back yard..if you look..up on top..you will
see a matched pair of Microdrills on a single base. All 4 of my
microdrills are 1/4" max spindles..and they go really really fast with
tiny weeny drills G That matched pair is up there because I needed
the space for something more important. That Lincoln 300 tig machine
directly below it. Its my spare. If my Airco 300Squarewave Tig goes on
the fritz..Ive got another 300 amp TIG to use. Shrug

Have you ever been to a guy's shop who had every little machine known to
man, but he couldn't cut a square piece of wood? Craftsmen know how to get
the results, no matter what the means. Look at stuff they built 500 years
ago.
