    Mini lathe (and mill) discussion.

    The closer I get to finishing my machining hobby room the less tolerant of chips I get. I was playing around with both mill and lathe last week and swept and vacuumed before I left.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    Not too bad. Popped the wood gussets and exposed the Hysol embedded control arm. A Dremel to cut into the epoxy and I was able to remove the arm. I enlarged the notch and test fitted the arm. It is a good 3/16" higher.

    Helped my son swap a fuel pump and replace a differential gasket today. Actually I helped move the truck bed back and forth. I let him do the dirty work. The blue seat pad was for me........

    Thank you Tony. A few bucks vs hours of making on my mini lathe is money well spent.

    Rain stopped me from attending Joe Nall the one day that I had open this year. I like to go once every five years or so. I get invites to other big events in state and out but never get around to it.
