If you're not setup for powder coating, that lamp would be an excellent excuse.

Powder coating in Jaime's future!

Powder coating in Jaime's future!

I vote for Gun Metal Blue or a soft Silver

I'm thinking red, name the lathe Roxanne.

But it's already so close to RAL 6011 Reseda Green, a very respectable color for machinery!

These are the colors that I have without buying another can…. from left to right:

Orange (vintage Koni shocks color), Olive, Sage, Anvil Gray, Hammered Brown, Satin Pebble, Anodized Bronze



I have an oven and an unopened powder coating kit… only black powder at this time… so that is not an option right now…

Roxanne!!! Lathe has a name!!! I might just paint it red for the heck of it, lol!!!

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light

When Sting sings Roxanne, you drink
When he sings red light, I drink

Ready, go!

Machined the register on backplate of ER32 chuck…installed the chuck… Done!



Laugh all you want, I was not sure on what dial indicator to use

.0005” runout and since “better” is the enemy of “good”… I left it alone…

Kind of looks like the garage GoceKU . I have to cut 3 lawns today between the thunderstorms and get back onto cleaning my "S" hole up . Aluminum everywhere I look , scrap on both trailers , can't walk in the garage as well as the driveway . This will be one long day .

What, you got a day off? Or did you work graveyard and you are burning the candle?

Go!

Ooh, that looks Portuguese. Better to drink slow. I think Roxanne will get you through 3 beers in 3 minutes, though.

Close… from Spain. Ribera del Duero region… just our glass for the day… for medicinal purpose only, of course…

Wife is going to make the Roxanne letters… I will share a photo when installed…. Using a similar font as this one…



In other news… started working on the 3C collet setup for the Logan 820…



I need to cut the drawbar to length and machine the handwheel… will use the one that came in the kit until I can make one out of wood…

I made a custom bar pull for a cabinet. The holes needed to be 310 mm on center.



I was too lazy to recess the standoffs. I think it looks fine. Blind holes in 304 SS tapped to #8-32. Fun!
