Re: my tools
 

Steve that hammer is the most important thing in the with that I can fix any thing. All kidding a side I have found out that it not so much the tools but the know how to use them. I have a lathe and a mill but as far as being able to use then well that a different story every thing I do is trial and error, but then what do you expect from a truck driver. The definition of a truck driver is a dumb labor with his brains knocked out. Ed

Re: my tools
 

LOL I just driva the truck 4 I learned the basics from my dad who learned it in school for mechanical engineering .

Re: my tools
 

Dang, you make my Dremel and Dremel drill press mount in the corner of my living room look like poo!
In the last year I've picked up a small drill press and band saw at Home Depot and I have a small 110v Lincoln Weld Pac wire feed.
Quarters are kinda cramped, I'm in a basement apartment with half my living room being my "workshop".
Nice setup you got, I'm so frigging green!

Re: my tools
 

is the BFH so when things dont fit right
love the shop

Re: my tools
 

I've seen some of your builds. I can see that it is not all about the tools but more about the talent.

Still can't believe the stuff you are able to build!!!

Awesome!!!

Re: my tools
 

Steve-I don't see a problem with the old lathe. I think a lot of people prefer them. You seem to know what to do with it! As for the BFH-I always heard "don't use force, just get a bigger hammer":D

Re: my tools
 

thank you guys
Tom , I had the chance of comparing between a newer non usa made to the older big iron . I told the guy to put the newer one in the scrap :p It had more slop then my antique and no way to adjust :mad: I guess thats what you get in the throw away age :( there are times I wish I listen to myself with the mill and got the older bp . but what I got is better then what I had . I guess variations of the BFH story is wide spread :D .

Re: my tools
 

the beast is in the shop :eek: now compared to the 1 the guy got that took the place of this 1 , it is small :eek: they have a tool room as big as my house with mills that are as big as my kids rooms :eek:

now just got to power it up and learn how to use it :confused: can't wait

Re: my tools
 

That's small. It's the same size as Scott's Bruder skid steer... I see it parked behind:p

What are the travel distances? Did you get any tool holders? Vice, software?

Re: my tools
 

nice mill!

Re: my tools
 

Nice looking mill

Re: my tools
 

yea and weighs almost as much but that lil kitty brought it in travels are 30" x 17 " y 6" z + you got the knee . I thought the vice came with it but I read wrong :( the bigger machine they got took the same tool holders but that no biggy they where to big for what I'm going to do + I know a place to get all I need for not to much $


thanks guys I can't wait to use it :D
