The smile your little girl makes is very adorable. My little girl is 3 and she makes this face when she smiles that melts my heart and I'm sure that smile does the same for you. Congrats on the success and beautiful family! PS love from Canada, minus the shipping rates haha
You should've waited to find a toolbox full of tooling at a swap meet! Just picked up an old Kennedy box full of tooling for lathes and mills for $70, I guarantee there's more than a grand worth in that thing and lathe tooling can be reused even after damaging the tips.
Love all your bike build videos but really love the shop infrastructure videos, I can watch them all day long, can’t wait to see the lathe in action, you’re really going to UP your game fabrication wise, you ever think about adding a milling machine too
Buen video. Hicisteis un buen montón de kilómetros (millas) para recoger ese torno, pero creo que valió la pena, se ve en muy buenas condiciones. Tienes una familia maravillosa. La configuración del garaje-taller te quedo muy adecuada, tendrás que hacer una pantalla recoge virutas, o lo llenaras todo de restos de mecanizado. Saludos from Spain🍻
Quick change tool post, and definitely move the Z when you're making chips. Lol You would have been a lot cooler if you got a southbend #9. Jk bad ass lathe brother, can't wait to sew what you do with it.
awesome addition! Now that you have a lathe, you will wonder how you ever lived, or how anyone CAN live without a lathe! One piece of advice...don't get too hung up on fancy tooling and attachments....alot of it is just "stuff you need to store"....A 3 jaw, a 4 jaw...a decent tailstock chuck (one small, one larger), and stick with hand ground HSS cutting tools!! Don't get caught up in all of the inserts and quick change tooling...that's fine for production or super-serious maintenance shops....maybe, but its all expensive, and only saves time....thats not necessarily the goal of the "frugal and intelligent home-builder/biker" !! Stick to the basics and perfect them, and enjoy your new machine!
