Hi Kevin, I've used propane before. Many years ago. But not a turkey frier. We used one of the larger torch fittings and fed the supply gas via half a dozen coils of copper tubing that coiled around

Actually, it might make a pretty good start. Here is a couple links to get you started, though you can build a bit larger to even do a coke fired to do iron.

Austin, Tx. I live in Round Rock and thats the store I go to. Good to know it works, I want the 8x12 lathe but the coupon says in stock items only and that is a special order idem. Not sure if they

Thanks for the coupon. Too bad they're only good in stores and they don't take them over the phone. The coupon would let me buy their 9x20 for the same price as the 8x12, but from what I've read, I

I called HF today and they have the lathe in stock, unfortunately it's $499 and they wouldn't give me the $439 sale price that apparently ended Feb 28. I was going to go smaller, but Homier out of

What size tools is the 8x12 tool post designed to take? I've heard 3/8" and 1/2". I'd like to order now so by the time I receive my lathe (about a week) I'll be able to do the basics right away.

Hi Ron, I never when to machist school - my academics took a different path, but my learning was "hands-on." Your description or reality is right-on if I can use the machists who worked at Zeiss as a
