Re: Armoire's machine shop the new frontier
I think it’s the one that Clickspring uses a lot in his videos…in fact I think that he refers to his 7x14 as his ‘big’ lathe :-)?

Re: LED Machine Lighting Sale
UPDATE! I have been in touch with Menards special order specialist Megan in Plano Illinois. She and I have come to the conclusion that the supplier of the lamps made the mistake (Menards did not have them in their possession and were the seller of the suppliers surplus inventory)
?
I urge all who may have ordered these and received the incorrect lamps to contact Menards for a return and refund.
?
Menards did say that should the correct lamps come available I will be notified.

Sorry gang for the inconvenience, Darren M.

Armoire's machine shop the new frontier
Any do this Machine shop in Armoire's?
This probably the new frontier for hobby.?
1) Low cost
2) Space saving?
3) Easy to move
4) Low cost in materials?
?[COLOR="#669900"]?
I first look at mini as just a ?????
After for over year it is nice.?
I changed because needing to downsize.? With a few upgrades like a good tool post made great lathe. [/COLOR]?
?
Then later talking to son lacking space. So then we look hobby Armoire. He looking at other hobbies.?
?
Has any one did this or seen done?

All good advice! Think before you act!? ?Bill
Hi Kurt, sorry for the late reply. On my hobby lathe, I can easily fit a 25 dia by 200 mm bar. Between centres, I can fit a 300 mm long bar. ? The point I was making, that whatever lathe you have, there is bound to be an item too long (Murphy’s law). ? We need to think of ways around the problem, some my suggestions are – Use a faceplate Between centres Divide the item in 2 and screw together. If it can go though the headstock spindle, machine section by section, then turn end for end and continue Re-design the item to remove the problem ? There are probably other solutions I have not needed to use – yet !!! ? HTH ??????????? Ellis ? ? ? "It may help to use a faceplate. Sometimes we ?automatically think of 3 jaw chuck and don’t consider alternatives." While the latter statement is true, in situations where the work is too long for the lathe's bed, a faceplate mounting is unlikely to help.? (Example: Working a 1-inch diameter x 8 inch long bar.) If buying one of our hobby lathes, get the longest bed you can afford.

Re: ANSWER TO GUIDE RULE
If you really think such a group would be popular, start one!
?
Be advised, without intelligent moderation, a group will degenerate into unusable chaos. The old 7x10 group is a classic example of why moderation is needed. From my perspective, the moderators seem to allow brief, shop related discussions that can help many folks.
?
BTW,? Posting in all caps is the same as shouting at the dinner table, not something done in polite company.
