Thanks for the great shop tour! I share your love of great shops. I have the exact same mill drill- 1st gen Enco purchased in the '70s! Check out my vids on an amazing lathe milling adapter called the Globe Milling Attachment on YouTube. Search by that term.
Look forward to more great stuff! Never too many tools...
I followed your thread regarding the build of the 1/3 scale T5. I would be eternally grateful (and so would MANY others), if you would make a Tubal Cain style video of your good ole fashioned hogging techniques. I'd love to build many things that I would have assumed CNC or castings were needed. Obviously, I'm wrong! I just don't know how!
Yeah those things would make it much nicer my dad saw the issue in popular mechanics when he was in high school and i found the prints on ebay and was going to build it for him but i bought one from one of his friends it needs quite a bit of work. Could you post a video?
You're exactly right. I built that from the plans when it was first published in Popular Mechanics many, many years ago. After building a 1" Case from Coles I went back and modified the small one to include some of the features of the bigger one, clutch, reverse etc.
Hi Axbent, it's called a Travadial. I picked it up years ago quite cheaply. They still manufacture them but they are very expensive. I don't know why someone would pay for one of these as opposed to mounting inexpensive digital readouts.
No, the Logan is in original condition. The old fellow that I got it from only wound wire coils with it. It still had the factory cosmoline on it in places. One of those luck finds.
The most important tool: Jam Box. End of story.

On the top shelf is that a 3/4 inch scale traction engine? It looks like ones built from prints by rudy kouhoupt...

Yes it is. I purchased it when I bought the lathe many years ago. I actually did quite a bit of work with it.
