Re: Mystery Attachments …. again!

Looking at all the pieces while thinking about a metal lathe, could it be a home made controllable carriage or a lathe duplicator for a SS? Does the hinged piece fit around a way tube? It could then be used to slide along the tube. The other pieces may be combined for different operations and materi...

Actually it is tea. :) Everyone in the family drinks tea but only my husband drinks coffee. I am not sure why she decided to collect mugs. :confused:

Re: Baking center

I put a coat of shellac on it but will wait until the weather warms up before put...

Re: WHERE Y'ALL AT???

I think it is that everyone is busy. Either winterizing or in the shop getting presents finished up.
