Thanks yall I appreciate it!!!

Someone may have lost their temper on the front end loader and broke off the handle. Here is my first actual fix/project on the lathe. Drilled and taped this solid aluminum rod to screw on. Turned some knurls to help the glue grip better. Filled it up with expanding gorilla glue

Thanks for all the comments and great information. I wont be able to do to much until the lathe is paid for and I can start buying tooling and measuring tools This is my first knurl. Turned out pretty good. With this I turned, faced, knurled and beveled

I hear ya. It was a pretty penny specially for me!!!! ( I used all of my longevity check from work then put the rest on a paypal credit card with 0.00% interest for 6 months. So it shouldn't be to bad) over $1,800 with shipping the Table I got a killer deal on for only $50.00. The guy I bought the table from is a machinist by trade and gave me about $70-$90 worth of dial indicators protractors rulers depth gauges I know I have ALOT to learn but I figured even if it takes me 5 years to get good. Well Im that much better than if I waited 5 years to start learning you know what I mean.

I got my lathe set up yesterday. I've never turned anything before. I've jumped in head first. I've always wanted to start machining. Got a grizzly g0752 variable speed 10"x22"

Whats the make and model and how much ya asking? Thanks

I dont mind spending $50 for shipping if I get a good deal!!!! What model and how much you asking? Ill see what I can do. Thanks!!!

Anyone wanting to get rid of their planer? Im looking for a 12" bench top planer Thanks

Thanks Normally Im a DeWalt/Bosh fan but I felt like I just had to try this saw out. Just wondering if anyone else had this same saw and wanted to know what they thought...specially reliability wise

Has anyone else had this saw? Ive been VERY IMPRESSED with this saw. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDQ2WkBKU58

I bought a new Circular Saw. Here is my review All in all I think for the price point and features I got a great deal!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDQ2WkBKU58

Very nice yes V10!!!!

Wow This is exactly why I dont go off of the star rating with out reading them first.

Great Job!!!! looks awesome

I agree looks like a picture frame. I see the pin on one end but not on the other end. Does that side slide? If it doesnt it might be glued and your supposed to pull the pin (works like a lock) Shot glass tray red solo cup tray

Wow very nice

That is actually what gave me the idea. I was going to fiberglass it but didnt feel like getting all the stuff out for just this little area. Thanks

I need to check that out. The key is mixing the new plastic with the old to get a good bond. So that sounds like it should work great

Then just sand use filler and paint This was kind of a corner piece so it works on corners too

(This picture got out of order this should be the second to last pic on this post) Use a zip tie for extra plastic filler Used a Soldering Iron to embed the wires. The heat transfers into the wire and melts into the plastic This is after the extra plastic is added. If you wanted you could sand down as well

So here it is epoxied together I cut a couple pieces of wire to the length I need Spread out the wires over the crack

Came up with a good way to"weld" plastic together with extra strengthSeems to be a pretty popular issue with the C3s. The wiper cover brakes. I didn't make it pretty just functional but i bet with a little body filler and plastic paint it'd be good as new. I know they make plastic welders but if you used in in conjunction with the welder it would be that much stronger This is after the repair and again you could make this almost seem less I first used Epoxy to basically glue the pieces together. This gives extra hold inside the crack and hold it together so you can work on the back side of the piece.
