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"

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

This floor had a little water damage. Just a little.

Wow very nice -
(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

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.
