Just received in my email another issue of "The Hobby-Machinist's Shop Notes". The member's projects are very inspiring and a great reminder of what I can start learning to do after I get this other work caught up in another month or two and can actually spend evenings at home, in the garage-shop!
Meanwhile, my Atlas 618, SBL Heavy 10 and drill press get a quick brush-coat of rust-preventing machine oil when I go out there late at night every 10 days or so and tweedle the cross slide crank or traverse the carriage just to feel it move.
I've never even run the Heavy 10, but am about to order the VFD for it.
While I'm very grateful for the Liberty that allows my opportunity to work and prosper, am also really looking forward to more balance between trying to make work pay and having some hobby machine time.
Kind regards to all who inspire and share here.
