My Little Shop

There is plenty of power for the lathe now. It comes with a very thin belt. The speed is adjustable via pulley setting. Typically something like an 1/8th hp motor. Problem was it either slipped or bogged down. I don't have that problem with this motor and v belt. Although I was a little afraid someone would call me on the lack of guard. I keep my fingers clear!

My other hobby is electronics/robotics type stuff. This metal working dovetails right in.

Hey Chip,nice shop ,my story is the same as yours got into machining because of my other hobby and now I spend as much time in the shop as possible.
 
Steve I like the slat wall pretty well. It was there when I bought the place. As you know it requires T nut type fasteners. A year or so ago I did some work down in Mexico and of course brought back coins. I particularly enjoy drilling holes in those to use as the bridge piece for the T nuts. I probably shouldn't admit that.
