So, I was given a lathe that had electrical problems.
I sorted those problems, and I am now looking for some simple projects so I can learn the machine. My first thought is to turn some clutch pulleys out of brass. Do you have other suggestions? Attached thumbnail(s) |

Machine shop guys always have impressive stories. And there's 101 ways to get zinged. Was in a shop with an impressively large shaper, bed over 30ft. long. Me and a new guy were watching that head slide towards us, curling off .1 thk steel corkscrew. It hit the ground right at our feet and sounded as big as a garage door spring. He bent down to pick it up and I hip-checked him. He was affronted for a moment, but then we watched it slowly turn that same blue as a motorcycle exhaust pipe.
