Few pics from today. Some of this shaft is seriously large

That's a serious band saw!

That's a serious band saw!

Might be the largest I ever seen. I tried actuating the blade assembly but the control cylinder seems to have been damaged..

My gosh, how on earth can you live there!!! (I love to say that since that's what I hear, when people find out the volume of snow we get here)

I hear you but i will deal with the occasional rattler to not have to wake up to snow every morning and have to shovel my way to work.

Da boss pulled me back to town to work on shipping containers. Will be back to Baraga after ?? time.

Finally got some pics processed for you guys. Jigs-n-jigs

I wish I had this jib crane at home.

 

[BravoXray]

Yeah, that jib crane looks like a nice stout one!

That once was a horizontal boring mill. Presently it's scrap.

I think that is about a 30" Bullard Turret Mill, not a horizontal boring mill. We had one at the shop and it stayed outside for years and still worked every time we needed it. Dang thing is scarey when in use!

A good used lathe FS. Yes everything here is.View attachment 755250View attachment 755252

Nice W-S 3a turret lathe. I have the next size up, a 4, with an air chuck on it.
That horizontal saw you posted earlier isn't a cheapo, it looks like a Wilton. Probably worth a few bucks, more than the 3a!

I was in the old shop today to run my battery charger and snapped a few pics for you characters.
Here is the bench top mill I've wanted! View attachment 755248View attachment 755249

You do realize that is a drill and not a mill, right?
