Lastly, I am of the opinion that the "smooth as glass" feel of the "old school skillet" surfaces is NOT from use. I believe that to be a "wives tail" as well. I mean if you think about it, it would take "a thousand centuries" of use to wear down the surface of cast iron...(especially if you...

I will see your "thread drift" and raise you one. I agree with your analysis of caring for cast iron skillets, with one notable caveat. I no longer use any sort of "natural vegetable oil" and here is the reason why. Many moons ago, I was sitting in my chair and this damned little "fruit...

I'm jealous. That looks like a fun project!

I like your "rolling welding table". Great idea for working outside of the garage. I have one of those MM175's too. It has been a great little machine. Nice job fabbing it up! (y) I think it will be pretty handy too. I bet it will be better than having to "twist around" constantly to...

Thanks for that explanation. Very cool! And Vevor is/has been my "go to" company for a bunch of things that are usually out of my prince range. I think that "overall" they make a product that is "good enough". I have had a few things that were junk, but for the price, I generally find that...

ooooohhhh....Thats a great idea. I just got a 2 pieces of O1 drill rod to try and "play with", and if I remember correctly, I think it said they are "precision ground" Thanks (y)

I'm pretty sure we call that a "collet". I'm considering one......one day, but I also like to be able to chuck up "odd-ball" sizes too.

I paid $458.66 with tax. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01ADBG7MU?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 Not the most expensive, but not the cheapest.

Now for the "Big Question"....... "Which chuck would you set up to have the jaws in which orientation?" Should I set the "big one" to have the "step'd jaws" face in or out? Or Vice-Versa? EDIT: I never did get that thing done that I wanted too either.....Hell I can't even remember what...

Because I am an "over-achiever" ? :ROFLMAO: From what I can tell, there are different "models" of chuck patterns, and mine happens to be a "D1-5" which ironically has 6 lugs....:unsure:

Well after "Monkey F'ing" with it for a short while, I realize that those damn lugs will NEVER actually be the same height. I conclude that they must somehow be "custom fit". So after studying my original, it seems there are also height variations. The 2 following pics represent the...

Ok, there I am again, just minding my own business when apparently the Amazon Fairy drops a package....... I am in the middle of overhauling my front axle.....(Topic for a new thread eventually) It's getting late'ish and the day is winding down, my attention span is at the end, and I basically...

Congratulations on your success!!! That is "way cool", although I am a bit jealous of that mag-drill and boroscope combo. What do those series of numbers represent? Some sort of code or something? And how did you know where to drill? (luck......or experience?)

One might consider it an "ironic twist of fate", but I used a piece of "safety wire" to wire the "safety switch" closed. :unsure:

If you have the time and inclination, it would be cool to see a post on what the process is to install your subframe. The dealer put mine on, so I did not get a "hands on" experience. Love the BH BTW. (y) (y) (y)

Very cool collection. (y) I get pissed when when I lose a $10 broad-head. I can't imagine how it would feel to lose one of those, then have to sit and make a new one....hahahah:oops:

And it sure beats the alternative.......

I do understand that. If @TheOldHokie was like that from the factory, could yours just be "the way they came" from the factory back then? I have no idea, but I suppose it's possible. Maybe there is a factory manual somewhere that explains how to use that function. It might shed some light...

I have no idea on cost. But if it is actually working when you hold it in that position, that would beg the question of "Do you use it enough to actually "fix it"? What I mean is, I use my "float mode" so very infrequently, I don't think it would be too inconvenient to just hold it there...
