New Shop and house

Gardening & fine woodworking – You are a renaissance man!

In a man’s shop – there he will find peace for his soul.

Hey man, you need to put your skills to use and fix that door on the bottom of the entertainment center.

Great to have you back!

hahaha i know those darn doors are about to fall off. i hate that entertainment center. its going in the trash as soon as we find another one. i would make my own entertainment center but we all know how us woodworkers like to say we are going to make new things for the house but we for some reason never get around to doing it. thank guys.

Mike – that is quite some old Oliver lathe you have there. Does that thing still run good? I rebuilt one a few years ago for a buddy and they are built stout!

-- Those that say it can't be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.

Looks great Mike very very nice

Jeff- You might be suprised to find out that i purchased that oliver lathe last year on ebay for a wopping $150.00 lol. the gentlman that i got the lathe from lived on a military base in the middle of nowhere. He was selling it cheap because of how expensive it would cost to mail it to someone. He had been trying to get rid of it locally for months. I only lived 2 hours from him so i bought on ebay and picked it up in a single aftrenoon. He was not the original owner however he had taken very good care of it. He had also just replaced the old motor with a brand new heavy duty motor. everything else was in prime condition. do you know what the size of the origonal motor was? what Voltage it ran off? im just curiouse. also the new motor has a switch behind the lathe. you have to reach over the turning workpiece in order to shut off the lathe. where was the original on off switch?
