After having successfully turned 5 or 6 of the pistons on the metal lathe, I will only add that either, like you alluded to, they are not for the purpose suggested, or, they were to compensate for a change in availability of stem length, like was also mentioned. I have just about got a full solution...

What an outstanding restoration! A PowerPro greenie

He sold it but still has it listed.

Thank you Lord!

I don't know if that is comforting or not.

I am 69 with 70 looming in March ...

Outstanding job!

Beautifully done!

That is just outstanding! I am working on a variation of that myself!

Make a simple frame and staple plastic sheet to it. make it removable and you can get seeds started pretty early. I did it with earthboxes years ago, but the same thing here. Have fun!

That looks great! Like Brenda points out, lots of uses.

That is very creative and looks like it certainly would protect the area under the table. I have thought about making one out of wood. Just no motivation with so many projects to do.

Thanks for sharing!

Methinks this quarantine may be getting to some of us ....

That is beautiful.

I made a toilet paper roller to specifically fit some commercial rolls that I abandoned from my businesses (I knew if I kept them it would pay off! )
