New shop started

Ugh, this contact was much harder. The 2 contacts across the bridge connector was “welded” shut on both sides.

I couldn’t get heat in there to separate. So I used an 1/8 mill to cut thought the back of the contacts so I could slide them out. Of course this ruins the contacts on the tabs so 2 new contacts cut with shoulder to solder in and back together. Continuity indicates function so I will test later

Cammo, here is order minus shipping and tax 1500$ plus about 100$ tax and 80$ ship



3 phase 20 hp, 80 amp circuit with a 30 hp rotary converter.

They were “beyond” so I made new.

Main motor is good, now to reinstall table controls

Chances are that you have checked, but have you looked at places like Radwell? They buy a lot of NOS industrial surplus controls and resell them at a substantial savings. I know our company has sold them many pallet loads of controls, all new in the box, they have just been sitting on the shelf for 10-15 years, collecting dust.

How are you doing? Hope you are well. Any new toys or tasks?

Sorry, just been posting cat and gun photos


Getting ready for winter (if we get one) greasing machines etc.

Did camp on the “back 40” with my version of a sxs ( the old Jeep)





Thx for looking out for me!

Ok, after I felt a bit better today, I tackled a quick project.

The new 44 mag pump rifle has an integral weaver rail and I order a red dot for it. Well it didn’t fit as it was a picatinny style. So I dug though my junk and found a weaver ring. Put it in the shaper (bored, felt like taking it slow and didn’t want excessive noise)

Took 0.200 cuts with rougher and it still had a mirror finish (I tried to demonstrate the reflection of a screwdriver)

Drill, tap and mount.
Now to sight in tomorrow

I had a brief amount of energy today.

Tuned up the swing saw mill
Cut some 1/16 x6” pine to true it up and then loaded up some oak to cut

And now, I’m done for day (health and age are fighting me)

Typically I use the forks on the Deere but I am now using the ex more and more for tasks like this. More precise and easier on machine
