Mini lathe (and mill) discussion.

Got the Cross Head done last night.

Where's the chips? I make a mess! Nice work Steven.

Thanks Tony!

I'm not real good at putting these videos together yet, but here's some machining of the cylinder head. Trying to make a video of hours of slow machining is tough duty I'm finding out!

Where's the chips? I make a mess! Nice work Steven.

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.

That’s actually a photo from a month or 2 ago. It’s much cleaner now.

Still way too much open space! You need more stuff!!

I’m getting there. There’s a welder and cutting torch rig out of the photo. I have a table saw and bandsaw to bring in eventually. I need a drill press, welding table, etc.

I'm getting pretty crowded in my little gally machine shop! I finally had time to clean up the 6" brake and the 9" sheer. They both work great so far.

Those look like real nice pieces of equipment.
