And a freebe saw at the dump...motor needs some brushes... a keepah!

Nice stuff...how is it working for you Karl? Turn any wood yet? Lets see some!

Hey Karl F...I thought there was no trash pickin' allowed? I am gonna tell!:uhuh:

Nice saw....good thing you saw that saw before someone else seen that saw...how long were you at the dump before you seen the saw, that saw must have been a sight to see!:laugha: :hihi: :hs:

NICE!!!!!

No problem yet...
no wood yet, just got it all off the truck.

Lathe runs fine, just needs some cleaning up.

May is coming soon, don't want to get too addicted by then....

Pats are coming on soon, so, I'll be headed upstairs :D

21 chisels
:eek: :confused: :happy:

If you don't mind my askin'....did you get a good deal on all them doo dads? Nice package of stuff, you got just about everything you need!:kewl:

Got wicked dirty look from gatekeeper....
saw never hit the ground, went back of one truck, straight into mine!
Timing is everything.... saved the other guy $10 too!!!!

Wow, looks good, what kinda deal did ya get?

Yup, I think so :D....

And I'm a cheap bastage too! ;)

Looks like an old Rockwell , nice machine....... yur in trouble now is right..... have fun and lets see some pics when you start turning.

I have that same saw in the old Craftsman version with the extensions. Put a 2hp motor on it with a nice Freud blade and it will cut anything.....

i have a confession to make....... i love old tools.:D

Hello everyone....my...uhhhh...my name is....errrr....uhhh...my name is Christian and uhhh...ummm....I am a lover of old tools!!!:laugha: :laugha: :laugha: Its nice to come out of the old tool closet isn't it Christian?:hihi: :laugha: :uhuh:

ya send me some tools 2 i'm using stright wood chisels ( sumthing that u would chip some wood outa a door hing.:laughs: :laughs: Looks nice!

Let's all go to KarlF's house and watch the electric meter go round.:D

Yeagh I would say Yer done Karl.
Nice sturdy lathe, cast iron base, will last a lifetime. Only thing that could possibly wear out is the motor and the belt. Those gouges look nice too. Now all you need is a duplicator and you will be completely addicted.
Best of luck with your new toys.:happy:

Thanks everybody..

Spent the day cleaning and oiling, got everything working smooooth, and all the rust off of the machined surfaces.
Lathe motor is an old Craftsman, brushes look like brand new!
Runs like a top.
Found a plate, says J-Line, then shows 4 options for the belt.
635 RPM (Where it was set)
1230 RPM
2430 RPM
4650RPM
Easy to change it around...

Where should I set it???
I would imagine higher that where it was (635)..

Motor on saw might have to go back to dump... oh well

Salty,
think Sears still has wings for that model saw?
Plate on saw said to order parts thru Sears Roebuck and Co.
:laughs: Wonder if Igave them the model #..... ;)

I asked the guy dumping it if he had wings for it... I got the feeling he couldn't buy a clue what I was talking about....

BETCHA A BUCK

go on the parts website and see if they gots stuff on there......

karl.. I'm no expert but I think you wanna spin plugs as fast as possible because they are so small... If you were spinning something wide, you'd want to slow down...
Since you have to move belts around, turn all your blanks and once your done, back the belt down to make it turn slower and sand them all...
Again.. I'm new to this, but I know you want to go FAST

Thanks Eben.. I remember know that fast was what the guys said at the plug thing. Takes less than a minute to change belt around, so no problem

Thanks Salty.
Pretty cool, can get all parts for saw, but I can't find extensions.. I'll keep looking... you put a 2 horse motor on yours! 3/4horse is stock. more power grunt grunt grunt

Nice lathe Karl...looks like your all set ..almost ..:D

Time to stock up on AYC Karl F!:kewl:
