In case anyone is curious what one of our lifelines is looking like today after all this rain. Here’s the Castiac reservoir at 72% total capacity. Thank it for some of your showers and thirst quenching.🙏🏻

I’m rebuilding an Emco lathe and made a concept front panel to keep the user vigilant...

I splurged and got some spendy safety glasses. They feel light as air and won’t scratch and get cloudy like all the 5 buck pairs. Not motors or mechanisms, just sweet stylish safety.

Tool score! 3 Kennedy chests full of tools and an Emco Compact 10 lathe with milling attachment in B+ condition w/ tons of extras at $2250 - keep your eyes out. There are deals to be had out there.

I gotta say, I love all these custom 3d printed holders (and I use them for other tools), but a good 60 duro Neoprene rubber will keep your tools in place even with heavy drawer movement (depending on their shape). Also, just get some SS forceps and thank me later.

As a newer home shop machinist, Blondiehacks taught me HSS is great way to go, OK, but how do I establish which ones of these from this used toll lot are any good? I’m a total noob. Thank you, hive mind. (Obviously wax covered ends are prolly aight)

Hi there hive mind, does anyone have any idea how I can make these MDF cupboards look any better? I have tools and am very handy but unsure of what process may work best. Any input? Is it just a sand and repaint with a matched paint?
