I just received a Sherline (Craftsman 527-2142) model as a gift. It is missing a lot of parts, not nearly in such nice shape as yours. Any idea where I can get parts? Does Sherline still sell them?
@jhammondbeck Sherline in California still makes all the parts to fit the old lathes, they still sell them yes. They will even refurbish older or broken lathes if you send it back to them.
You prove that country boy logic can definitely get er done.
I will confer to you a Ph.D. in Common Sense from the University of Hard Knocks.
At 55 years old, my 82 yo Dad says that I already have a Ph.D. in B.S. but I will have to work hard to attain a Master's Degree in C.S. He doubts that I will ever get my Ph.D. in C.S. I'm trying, but it is very hard and rare to attain it.
great idea!
