My Lil' Mule

I’ve seen a few decent micrometer stands, both commercially and shop made, but none of them were really what I wanted in one. Having a stand to hold the micrometer while taking a measurement of a telescoping snap gage will make machine work much easier and convenient. So I took some inspiration from a few others and designed my own. In this video, I machine the brass nut that fits on the riser.

I want to get the headstock of the 1960 South Bend lathe disassembled so I can inspect the bearings and any gears.

I finish the reassembly of the Universal Milling Head for the Kearney and Trecker 2HL. I make a few mistakes, mostly minor, along the way, but I did manage to address them all in the end.

With as much repair work as I am able to do completed on the Kearney & Trecker Universal Milling Head, it’s time to start putting this back together. I’m starting with the Attachment Housing and the Swivel Support Bracket.

I have been having an issue my Hobart 175 amp MIG welder for a few years. I was getting a lot of porosity in my welds and I could never figure out why. I have only been able to use flux core in it. I want to get this problem sorted out and fixed, and to do that, I had to machine a part that is obsolete and not available.
