Getting shop together
Brendon M:
Wow you managed to acquire a lot of stuff for $1600 USD
Your shop is looking great, I really need to insulate my shed as it's only comfortable during Spring and Autumn.
What is this 4 cylinder casting I spy? :)

It was actually $1600 CDN =) and ended up selling the small lathe awhile ago for $2000 which I am regretting already.
The inline 4 is my most successful casting so far, so it ended up being my long term learning project.

So I ended up having the mill motor rewound and had to buy a phase inverter to get them hamsters moving.
It was a bit costly, but overall I am happy to get it done! runs nicer and quieter and even eliminated the startup shakes!
I cleaned up the lathe area a bit and gave myself a shelf and built somewhat of a chip guard to keep the chips from going behind the lathe..
Newest project was building some garden boxes for this year with some leftovers from a job

4 Boxes Stacked to save myself some space.

Maybe too late now, but I'll add for anyone with a Bridgeport or even a clone, H&W have an extremely informative YouTube channel here. https://www.youtube.com/@hwmachinerepairandrebuildi674 Almost any repair, disassembly / re-assembly would be covered on there YT channel.
