Well.. FedEx decided my back porch is not secure so they wouldn't leave my 288 there with out someone being there! :msp_angry: Can't say too much though as it is relatively safe right now with them.. just no making cookies tonight.
 
You guys do realize I have more snow removal equipment than most northern locals....
2 snow blowers
2 tractor snow plows
2 snow blades for two wheel tractors
Insulated bibs
Insulate coveralls
Love to cut and split wood...

I need a winter to break these habits!
 
Hey guys.
More cleaning of the metal lathe this afternoon.
I have had the change gears soaking in varsol over night, that should have removed all the dirt and metal chip packed cosmoline.....
I wish people would remove cosmoline before playing with machine tools.... It gets really hard to remove after 45 years sitting uncovered in a dusty basement.....
Atleast it is in almost new condition.....

I also got a record bench vise to go with the machining area. It has about 4 coats of paint splatter, and 20 years worth of wood glue covering it.... I think this job will call for some lye... Still a good deal for $25 though...

I am going to talk to the resident master machinist at the museum about a refresher lesson on drill bit sharpening... I have only done a little bit, and although I was good at it, it has been too long since I have done any... I seem to have forgotten how....
