    Walnut with a history

    This walnut came from my mom's back yard. My grandfather planted the tree in the 1970s, I think. Mom and dad had me cut it down 10ish years ago, and I had two pieces drying on the back of the wood shelf in my shop since then. I cleaned it up and milled it down to the useable wood yesterday as...

    I'm Back.......

    Apparently I've been distracted with work and tractors for so long that I am now a 'new user' and can't post a classified. I spent the day yesterday cleaning the shop and have a few items to pas along to its next home. I'm Adam, I live in Shelby, and I make pens to support my tool and tractor...

    Air Compressor -- When to Retire

    The air dryer won't prevent the water in the tank, just prevent that moisture from moving through the hose to your tool. I don't have a good answer for you regarding when to proactively retire the compressor. I share your less than stellar maintenance habits and have wondered about something...

    In search of ~24" diameter cross section of hardwood

    Lathe maintenance

    You'd need a mill instead of a lathe, but it looks like Mike has created a great repair to his lathe with what he has access to and his creativity and skill.

    The last word

    The party is 10-2, I'll be there at 9:15 to unlock the door and set up tables. Sadly, the lathe demo is canceled. I've been slammed at work, haven't had time to prepare blanks and gather tools, and the weather just isn't fit to haul large tools over there. We'll do a virtual demo - Dakota can...
