Thanks Eric! :beer: I wonder if we should bottle it? :lol: Hmmm, that might not be such a bad idea....... There was a concrete lathe in an old issue of ME that I once read. It was pretty cool -- I'll have to find that again.. Edit: found it........ME issue 2792 the headstock and tailstock were concrete also there's this........seems reprinted from an old Popular Mechanics article. The bed is steel reinforced concrete: http://www.vintageprojects.com/machine-shop/turret-lathe-plans.html |

Well, now arranging for delivery of 3/4" stone and mason sand (sharp). I'm getting 5 tons each to have extra on hand for projects. |

Update we had a one day rain, so no sand and gravel delivery (truck must climb over grass slope), then a clear day, and then two solid days of rain again and it's raining still. Construction halted. Classic! |

I reckon all this talk of water storage is a giant deception - that circular slab is the base for your new cupola isn't it :lol: |

I shoulda just dug a pond instead! :lol: |
