ho,ho,ho ... or what do you want from santa

[coolidge]

I want Santa to bring me one, uninterrupted, 8-hour day per week where I can go into my shop and work on whatever I want to work on, period.

Your lathe has so much iron its messing up the earths magnetic field, dang!

I would like some 12L14 steel in 1/2, 3/4, and 1 inch rod - also a piece of aluminum 3X3X6 inches - I may have wished for gold - here in the south, no one knows of any other kind of steel other than rebar. Oh, and a mini boring bar!

I don't have anyone except my kids(13 & 15) to buy me presents, so I bought myself one.

A complete set of minus pin gages from .011-.625 and an 81 pc gage block set(Grade B) for $260 shipped.

Bought them from a guy on another machining site.

My last Christmas package showed up yesterday afternoon.

NOGA indicator holders.




I am going to use the small one and fabricate an adapter to mount my old quill mount and incorporate it to the NOGA dovetail holder. I got the ideal from Will, aka Darkzero.

My new Glacern 5" mill vise showed up today and SWMBO was not happy about it. She didn't mind that I was getting the vise. Nope, not one bit. Not a problem. She just wasn't happy about what it took for her to get that 70 pound box in the door this afternoon!

Of course you know what I did when I got home from work.


:bannana:



Sitting on my Clausing 8520 I swear that vise looks like a six inch, but it only measures out to five. Needless to say, I am quite happy with it and I haven't even used it yet!!
