Let Murph run it he is about 9inches shorter than you.

I gotta say that is a brilliant idea. As a matter of fact, I have taught Murph how to run my lathe and he's quite good at it. The problem is, he comes over twice a week and I work out there 5 or 6 nights a week. I think I need another flunkie! :D

On top of that, I did get a couple more curly M-18s done tonight.

I liked your first comment - before you edited out the snark in favor of self deprecation.
TMH - how about just jacking it up and putting 8" concrete blocks under it? Surely the weight of that thing will hold down whatever's underneath it as long as what's underneath it is strong enough. How about some of those pre-cast concrete footings? Are you sure you're lubricated enough for some hillbilly engineering? What about some of those risers you can buy for your bed that give your wife more space to store sh...tuff underneath...yeah, those should work!

That's a excellent suggestion, however, there is vibration that comes with any piece of heavy equipment. And just setting it on top of something doesn't remedy it. While the blocks would definately support the weight, its very important that it is bolted down solid. This not only helps with any problems of movement but also with accuracy.

And please don't tell my wife about raising the bed to put more sh!t underneth it. Id get drunk and rack my balls on the side of the bed! :D
 
Relaced my back hub on my bike to a new rim. Also found out my frame is twisted/bent. After a little more investigating I found out the welds cracked at the bottom bracket. Suddenly I regret dropping that $100+ on a new rim... :grumpy::mad:

Mid-coast, southern coast; yeah, there are some similarities, even to the NH coast.
I had Mexican food in Mexico - and I was pretty surprised how different it was from what I had always thought of as "Mexican" - more complexity, more ingredients that I'd not thought about even being in Mexican food.....and I'm pretty sure it would be difficult to define "Mexican" food, because from the Yucatan to Zacatecas, there are all kinds of regional variance....still, I remember eating very well.

Up in the mountains in Mexico is where I discovered dog makes good burrito. disappointed the locals when instead of freaking out, this gringo asked for seconds after being told what I was eating.

Just logged in for the first time since early afternoon. The comments are all out of place and I'm bombarded with advertising banners. What a creul joke to play on someone who's been drinking. The best I can tell is Spark is toying with some new ideas? .........oh well! As long as it don't kill my buzz I guess..........

In other news. I just came in from the shop. Had about 3 hours of work I needed to do on my lathe. My back hurts like hell now. Its just at the right height that I barely have to bend. But over time, that position is hell. I think I need to jack my lathe up and pour about a 9in. high concrete pad underneth it. Just one more thing I don't have the time and money for. Any suggestions?

Use half block - glue it to the floor with liquid nails right over the old bolt stud, fill with quick-crete, and add a j-bolt to the top so you can attach the lathe to it.
4 half-blocks cost about $5. 60# bag of quick crete is another $5. j-bolts are cheap and if you don't have any, I can probably mail you 4 of them. :D
 
I used to use a lathe in school in woodworking class. I loved it. I remember making a night stand and used the lathe to shape the legs. It was a ton of fun, never used a metal lathe though. (Not really too sure which type you are talking about)

We are supposed to be getting some more snow tonight. I'm so happy, however it's only less than an inch. So not happy about THAT! Who would be happy with an inch?!
