Thanks for the welcome guys! I was in the shop making the last piece needed for my belt drive conversion for my X2.  The small pulley.  I had machinist block trying to chuck the piece. (only 1/8" to grab).  :scratch::smart: After an hour! I threaded a rod and clamped it with bolts through the spindle bore.

Pics. Hummm.  Well it seems I'm short on the pics but I'll give you what I have.

Here is my lathe while building the Eagle.  When I started this there was little info on the model and I needed info for the build so the page was used to gather and share what I needed.  I've made many friends through it and learned alot.

I've done more to it since this page, welded up backsplash, 6" stainless steel feet. Still can't center that tailstock though!

The model is in dpieces for final buildup and writeup for the web page...

I've been fixing up tools for a hobby too.:

Please ignore the links in this page, It a test page and they are not functional yet. Sory.

Here are a few pics of an original screen used VOX that was used in Galaxy Quest:
It was broken, gutted of electronics and needed a paint repair.  I replaced the electronics with the exact components and used the same paint for the repair.

I'm searching for pics of the finished models and other props I've repaired or built.  Why is it that the pics you want are so hard to find but the ones that are useless are copied over and over on every disk?

I'll post more when I locate them.

Welcome to our club.

Nice hobby you have there, I still watch ThunderBirds now on the net as they take me back when I was a boy. I am 47 and grew up in that era as they were a new thing.


Lady Penelope I still have a crush on!.  Parker would not approve though. :(


All the best.    Anthony.

Welcome to the collective Space Fan.  :borg:

Just did a quick prusal perusal of your web site. Very interresting. I'll have to go back when I get some time and go through it.

I see you have a Grizzly mini-mill. So do I. There's a mod for it for the lead screws. Check out my web page on it. Might help a bit since you are fixing problems with the mill. Grizzly Mini-Mill

Regards,
Bernd

Hello Space Fan
I had a quick look in passing, and was most impressed by the quality of the photos on your site.
I will be following your posts to pick up hints.
Many thanks for your input to Madmodder. :clap:
