Oh dear Vern, is that a Hardinge lathe?  I could have a desk lathe if I could find one that size  ;).

Dog I can see your getting serious about this stuff. That's a nice collection of precision my brother. Now the Close enough Machine Shop is going to have to change the name after this.  :lolb:  love it my brother and you just keep making me jealous.

Well. in the words of Brian Rupnow, we're about to call this thread done. The grinder is pretty well all set up and I'm thinking all the tools and materials are here for it's first "forum" job. I'm gonna show a few pics of my last "Amex points binge" and then I'll be moving things over into a thread entitled "It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas"> I really appreciate y'all stopping in.
Some sweet 1/4" x2,3, and 4" O1


Some 2.5" "gray iron"


A nice little 18 X 24 Two Ledge Grade A surface plate


Now where did that Suburban Tools 6x6 Sine Plate come from :mischief:


And just for Bill and Vern, my poor attempt to join the ".500" mic club



Y'all come back now you hear

It's already looking like Xmas with all of that sweet stuff.
NICE!!!
BTW
Did you get the neck lanyard for the ½" mike? That way you can wear it as a fashion accessory.  :ROFL:

Ooooooh! So more nice tools and some material to make something with. Love it my brother but your going to have to make a stand for that surface plate and make it adjustable so you can level it. So what,s the grey for Dog?

Geeze Cletus, with all those Amex points you can take the whole forum out to dinner :)  Some seriously nice stuff...so what are we still waiting on now??  Welcome to the mini-mic club too!!  I like that mic holder ...now if they would just make one about 1/2 scale it would be perfect for the mini :)

Lots of tool porn there my friend; I think maybe you have been spending too much time thumbing through those tool catalogs  :lolb:

You sure have collected some very nice tools of late; I passed up a very nice .5" mic at a used tool store some years back. Still kicking myself for not picking it up. I do have one but it is an older Starrett  with a ball anvil. Got it out the other day and started working on it; maybe if it turns out OK it will show up in one of my updates.

Next, I guess you will be showing us the new furnace? That is OK I'm kind of curious what you bought?

Thanks guys. Vern, don't have the lanyard, but, I'm thinking about really getting wild and have a piercing done for it  :lolb: :lolb:.. Professor,  you're almost right, but, not quite dinner  :mischief:. Don, you just might be surprised when you see a piece of that iron again and that's all I'm a saying  8). Steamer, thanks. The QC department is coming along nicely,  just wish the parts coming to it were of the same standards  :lolb: :lolb:. Dave O., gave up golf, flying  shooting skeet, and honky tonking  (and all that went with it), now at least after the money is gone,  there's something to put your hands on  8). Here's a link I think :lolb: to the furnace.http://paragonweb.com/HT14D.cfm. Y'all come back to see us now ya hear

If you can reliably measure something....you can make it.   and it don't matter what tolerance.

I agree Dave, if one doesn't run out of patience or stock, he will eventually get it right  :lolb:. Don, I'm not planning on melting anything,  but, heat treating it.  Although,  I bet that sucker could be turned into one of those high priced steak ovens or a darn good pizza oven  ;). OK Don, here's a hint : in the sixties if you weren't hip and with it,  you may have been referred to as being....................................... :stir: :stickpoke: 8)
