Arco @outlawedge is a hell of a guy! He took my under his wing when I first started my youtube channel and has helped me and supported my efforts and pushed me to go further! Awesome friend ! I subscribed to your channel this evening.
Hi, I'm the crazy guy that dropped off the Hendey lathe at Arco's last weekend, but for the record, I'm not the guy that tore it apart... I'm the middle man. Long story, but I didn't have space or time and i know Arco like old vintage machines and friends, and i'm vintage. Arco is one of the best guys someone could meet. It was a 15 hour drive for me and worth every minute just to see him and Heidi. He had his annual car show and invited me to be a judge. Maybe you've already seen some of his videos. I'll be posting some from my channel too. He's so nice i call him Arco Angel. That man would do anything to help someone. We communicate almost everyday. We both build cars, in fact we're both building sheet metal cars from scratch right now. Anyway, thanks for helping Arco. He will get that thing together and running. I enjoyed your video and subbed you tonight. I like machines and will be following you. I have a knee mill in my shop. It's a Bridgeport knock off and does most things I need to do. Lots of fixture building for my car right now. Anyway, this is too long, but Arco is worth spending a lot of time on! 🙂
I'm not sure if that is a keyed type chuck or key-less chuck your using, but if it's a keyless you don't tap with them. They are only self tightening in one direction, when you reverse rotation they will tend to open up. You tap with a key type chuck. Personally I don't power tap, I leave that to the more experienced guys. I think you learn more with hand tapping, there is a definite "feel" to it, especially when you get into the smaller sizes.
It is a very cheep Drill Chuck, It was all I could afford at the time. I’m gonna start watching the local auctions in my area as soon as I come up with some money for tooling. But I should be able to get some something at least decent. Thanks Earle C
I believe you'd be a lot better served if you use the plastic face of the hammer rather than the rubber face, just bounce on that face. Best would be a lead hammer, no bounce there, or at least a dead blow hammer, basically the same thing.

That's a decent looking lathe. Note how big the base is on the tailstock, unlike the ridiculous mini lathes that have out of proportion center heights to bed width. A well proportioned lathe will have a minimum bed width that is 1.5 times larger than the center height.
Hey Kimber.. Several people have asked about the links to the CS Woodworking. Many of us have tried to find that page and aren't finding it. Are you going to post the links or just smart off to people who are asking and call them trolls?
The Hendy has the same features except the backing of bthe cross feed. When threading, Never never disengage the split nuts. When the cut done simply reverse the lead screw till clear of part. As the carriage comes back, set compound in for next pass. Turn in cross feed screw to stop and set lead screw to forward. And repeat as needed. Same features found on Monarch and others.
That is truly one of the methods of all time. There are others. Being a machinist is about knowing the various ways to accomplish a task. That is why engineering drawings only detail part specifications and not methods or instructions.
Ummmm.. Once you engage the half nuts, LEAVE THEM ENGAGED. Use the feed reverse lever and stops to shuffle the carriage. That way you do not loose synchronization. That is the whole point of the single-dog clutch. You are going through some witch craft hand jive with those levers like I have never seen before. ---Doozer
That plant is "OXALIS TRIANGULARIS" - -- I noticed it wayyy way back . . . but never mentioned it . 'Had a friend in Wyoming give me a 'start' that was potted up , 9 years ago - it's been blooming year round , & now I have 2 pots that are overflowing ! * They can be very tempermental , too much water , they get wimpy . . . too dry , & they do the same . . . I have 'em in a West facing window , & they're doing great ! 'Looks like yours are putting out fresh shoots - that's a good sign ! They're a native from Africa ! The friend that I got mine from SWORE that it was an Irish CLOVER ! Do a google search on it , now that you know what it IS ! & Thanks for the SURPRISE ! ! !
