    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    It's a sand pounding tool used to pack the sand in the flasks for making the sandcasts. I figured it was a good first try part.

    This was also part of the stuff I brought home. I'm planning on building a small steam engine eventually to run the tiny lathe. I need to do some research on what is needed to use this boiler.

    Yep, it was part of the estate sale. I had help getting everything hauled around as they are heavy parts. I got all the gibs adjusted and the table moves very smoothly. He also had two Myford Super 7 lathes that were over my price range. One was brand new.

    Mini lathe (and mill) discussion.

    Went and picked up the mill and came home with way too much stuff. I finally got the mill set up as a horizontal mill for now. I need to do some work to it before it's ready to use. The KO Lee tool and cutter grinder also needs work before I can use it. I also brought home some forging equipment...

    PM Research Mini Engine Lathe Build

    Spent a little time today and got the cross-slide handle done. Didn't want to spend a couple of hours making form tools so I just chamfered and used a file to shape it.
