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

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

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!

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

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!!!

[modelman]

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"

[ihbuilder]

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 It had more slop then my antique and no way to adjust 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 .

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



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

[9W Monighan]

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

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

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 $
