Hi Don, I've gone from I don't have room for a home lathe to being on the verge of buying a new Sherline. For what I envision doing, and that I have more confidence in North American and European

Thanks to all for the information and the encouraging words. As a result, I've joined the Gingery list, and looked up some of the info. I'll also check a few of the places out that I haven't been to

Welcome, Mark! ?I live right down the road, in Sevier county, near Dollywood. Check craigs list and the local gov. auctions. I found a Logan 820 on CL earlier this year 10" x 24" needed lots of work.

Mark, since you have used machine tools in the past I would suggest a lathe larger than a mini.A 9x20 would be the smallest I would consider in your place.I have a 7x12 Cummings and a 10x22 Grizzly. I

Just a note: Building codes specify the MINIMUM acceptable practice. You can always exceed the specification. I've had several discussions with local inspectors over this not being what they expected,

It's impossible to over-emphasize this point. The code is what the inspector says it is. Many people post opinions on code issues on the Internet assuming that whatever they were told in their

Thanks to all for the help in my query. If anyone is interested here's a link to a pic of one of two similar thread protectors I made for my heavily modified Ruger 10/22.

We have exactly the same situation here in the UK (except ours are normally yellow) and for the same reasons. Another that you did not mention is that the pipe is a great deal more robust requiring no

Whatever you use, make sure the AHJ* approves of it AND you feel it's safe. Just because it barely meets code doesn't me you HAVE to use it, pick something even better. The AHJ will often notice and

Good question. Practices vary in different jurisdictions. In some places copper is used for gas piping. I some cases it may be, but should not be, soft soldered at the joints. Or silver soldered, or

Ron I bought the Busy Bee CX704 lathe and the DRO kit here in Toronto on sale at $958 CDN tax included. I have it home and cleaned up but have not yet installed the DRO kit. I put a large bow on it to

Mark, ? Welcome!? I have a long-bed Sherline that I use for antique clock work and I really like it. It is limited to smaller parts. And yes, it isn't cheap, but it is well made (in USA). When

Model Engine Builder Magazine has had many plans. http://www.modelenginebuilder.com/

Mike, I'm in NYC also, and from what I heard, the fire in Breezy Pt?worsened when a propane tank was breeched, perhaps by fire, and exploded, spreading flames everywhere. The fire trucks were stuck

A lot of gas mains are plastic now. Usually orange, comes on a roll. They melt it together to couple it. Never looked like a good idea to me. When they bore under roads and such it is cheaper easier

Gas lines today are frequently made of copper pipe. Actually, soft tubing. In the olden days, the lines were iron pipe with threaded fittings. In house fires, things collapse, and steel & iron pipe

If threaded steel pipe is used for gas, does that make houses safer? I live in NYC, and a magazine story about the recent hurricane here said that house fires spread in some neighborhoods because the

I'm looking for plans to make a small, useful steam engine on the mini-lathe. So far all the plans I've seen are either really small (1/2 inch bore), or require a larger lathe. One that could be put
