For those who sometimes forget eye protection!

Was wearing some goggles yesterday and managed to catch two piece of metal debris in the eye ! (Twice !) one in each eye !

How much does your new Mill weigh? :eek:
 
AWESOME! we have an old 1945 +- 9 x 36 quick change South Bend, that we wouldnt know what to do with out. You know that frosting is scraper mark's from a hand scraper. used to make the way's perfectly flat... a knife made that way would be unbelievably cool. I'd love to know how it's done.

Yes Jason, these old girls surely are beautiful and the hand scrapping is just the cherry on top. I agree a knife like that would be very cool but it must be something that takes years of practice to get it right. Now you've done it and added another item on my ever so long projects list. ;)

On one of my website I have some info I've gathered on SouthBend lathe if you are interested. There is even some about scrapping on there.
