Moving and Leveling the Monarch Lathe
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ก.ย. 2014
- I finally got around to moving the Monarch away from the wall, with the help of Gill and James' toe jack. I needed more room behind the lathe so that I can make use of my gantry crane in the future. Once its moved out we have to re-level the lathe.
Enjoy! - บันเทิง
No matter how big a shop is it is never big enough. Glad you had time to organize.
Tom Auth You got that right Tom. Even if I added on, it would still be too small. I always tell people, build as big as you can afford, because no matter how big it is, its never enough room. Even at work we have outgrown our 70x100' new building, and they are looking to add the same size building on next to it, just to have room for job storage, and a paint booth.
I enjoyed your videos on the monarch . Brought back a lot of good memories . I ran a lathe like yours for 10 years making stainless steel pump parts . Very good machine . Thanks for the videos .
You keep a very tidy shop Adam, nice to see gill helping out on levelling this one, it can be a frustrating experience.
Great stuff
Thanks Kelly. Gill is always there to lend a hand with the heavy hauling.
I have been admiring your Monarch and think this is the one I am going to try and find next. I'm a gunsmith and I get along with much smaller equipment but I love the big iron! Thanks Adam
Good to see Gill and the progress in your shop. Native of Florida retired to West Virginia. love your shows.
Only now it strikes me how big that lathe actually is, serious bit of kit!
"All /16ths wrench" Thats a new one for me, lol. Nice.
That gantry crane will be awesome. Some good improvements there, well done
When I was a kid my parents moved about every 5 years. At some point my mom decided it would be a big help to lay out a floor plan on square graph paper, then cut out scale foot prints of the furniture, then move them around to find an arrangement she liked where everything would fit. It worked for me arranging my shop later in life.
looking at your Monarch in normal videos, it doesnt look so big (as big as its said to be) but when you were walking around with the camera and showing it from a operators view, you can really tell its a hefty machine and how bit it really is! looks amazing! good job both of you
David Henley Thanks David. Yea it's a nice size lathe, built with heavy iron, the way the American companies built machines back in the day. It weighs in around 8-9K lbs.
Nice work adam great , I enjoyed your videos on the monarch
Good Job to you and Gill.
Great set-up more space will be great with big work ! Thanks to share to moves technic
Hi Abom every machine looking nice and proper well planned 👍
It's great when a plan comes together!
Your shop is looking good man!
Ray
Ray Caniglia Thanks Ray! I'm trying to get it as clean as yours! LOL
Yeah I think Ray has the cleanest shop on TH-cam. Lol.
Adam,
Gill's funny -- but Stella, of course, is the star power. Thanks for sharing your skills.
Oslowe.
Thanks for the help in deciding where my Atlas will land when I get it all gussied up. I was thinking of having it hard against a wall, but since I've no real reason other than thinking it would "look good" all snugged up in a corner, I am going to lag it down with plenty of room behind it to clean and access the backside for whatever reason...not like I'll ever drop anything, LOL!
Take it easy...Aloha, Chuck.
Chuck, yes It's best if you have the room to at least keep some walking space behind it so you can do come cleaning, or if you have to work on the machine. My lathes were designed to have to access the back fro chip removal, and also to adjust the taper attachments.
All sixteenths - I love that style of humour!
Good stuff Give Stella a hug for me.
Good thing you had Stela as the Forman on this job Lol really like this one
When you have a dog you always have a Friend.
The old lathe is getting Swaybacked like an old horse !!! ..You made a good learning video on leveling a lathe
not2fast4u2c Thanks man. Leveling can be a tricky job, and working tat bubble can drive you nuts sometimes. But with the help of my buddy Gill we managed to get it as close as possible.
You can lag the machine to the floor and pull it into level. Worn machines sometimes require this.
It's about time Stella got some lov-in!
Next week we will see Gill up a ladder adding a roof to your side pad just to get some of the displaced tools out of the weather :) We could all do with a buddy like Gill I think!
Steve McQuillin Man I wish I already had that cover, but it's having to wait. The ceiling project cost a few bucks to get done, and now that it's done I have some home improvements I need to start one. I'm going to buy some fresh tarps to keep the machines outside covered untill the day I can have my roof built. Gill is always there to lend a hand for me! He's a good friend to have!
I hear you man. If it weren't for money ... *lol* Ceiling looks great though, what with that and the window a/c and moving a few things around I bet it feels like a different shop in there as compared to this time last year :)
I've got to hand it to you Adam, you have a LOT packed into the area you have to work with. I hope you will make a video of the test rod you cut like Tom did.when he leveled his lathe. Hey watch those lights when you get that Gantry, Too bad you couldn't work in some running rails along each side the total length of your shop as that would make it so you don't worry so much about floor space to get the Gantry around things.
Regards,
John
A bridge crane would be sweet. Another dream I wished for in here. But the rolling gantry will work fine for my needs. Once I get to a test cut, I'll make sure I get some footage to share.
never enough room, great video, thanks...
Two pieces of round bar set in the floor build some wheels for the underneath with carriers, so if you need to work on it drag it away from the wall, finished with push it back to the wall, with the bar being set in the floor (perfectly levelled) the crane will still roll over it, also added gains of raised lathe and be able to clean under. :)
Adam,
Beautiful Lathe . Dont you just love Monarch lathes? They have such a original style to them and they perform like no other.
Great video thanks for posting it.
Jame's jack is probably appreciated about as much as the AC unit!
Oh yea! It's a nice tool to have in the shop!
adam looking good.
Adam,
I am tired, that was a lot of work...LOL....nice to have your buddy Gil to assist.
Regarding the 1/16ths wrench, never heard that term, the one I learned as a kid was a Mexican micrometer, no offense to my Chicano buddies!
ATB
Chuck
I knew a guy who called them "metromic" wrenches for some reason!
I'm betting you'll be calling them all 16'ths on the job site now Chuck! LOL
I better call a hostage negotiator, I use that toe jack all the time. I am betting we work something out in a few weeks.
James Kilroy Hey James, I think Gill likes that toe jack more than I do. Ever since visiting you he has talked about it, and he's always the one who uses it. Only time I touched it is when I moved the Victor. Hey, he even cleaned it for you! I really appreciate you letting us borrow it. It's been a tremendous help!I'll have to keep my eyes open for one to keep around. It's worth the investment. Hope you bring some unexpected goodies when you make the trip down.....:)
Need to move all the machines out of your shop then epoxy coat the floor, easier said then done I know. Thanks for making the video.
Wish I had friends like Gill. My own friends' idea of "helping" in a project like this would be to take a seat and watch me sweat while telling me that I'm doing it wrong!
Do I remember correctly that the Monarch weighs around 7000 lbs.? It's fascinating to see millwrights and riggers at work moving and positioning such heavy machinery so precisely.
I believe the machine weighs in around 8-9K lbs. Once is on rollers, it moves pretty easy with some leverage.
Nice job leveling
. Your shop looks nice and clean. I need to get that level I have out and check my lathe. I am afraid of what I might find. Has Gill started a you tube channel yet?
Adam, It's always nice having knowledgeable friends to assist. Gill said James' toe jack was worth it's weight in gold. Appears that Gill's value is equal to that also.
When I did home building 35 years ago, we vacuumed the floors before instaslling carpet but still had to also wet mop the wood and concrete floors to remove 100% of the dust. I think that would work assuming it's not the cement finish of the concrete that is the problem.
Was your floor poured in cold weather? If it was, the concrete finishers might have dusted the surface with dry cement in order to hurry the surface drying along.
It's good the ceiling project is finally completed, congratulation. Shop looks great!
Thanks....13
The shop was built when I was about 6 years old, so I have no idea how they laid the concrete. I do know it's always been dusty, and chalks over after a clean sweep. When I used to work on cars it was always a white dusty mess rolling around getting under the car. I will do some research on a possible coating I can lay down to help with the problem.
Abom79 A concrete sealant is probably what you need. Good luck with your research.
nice jaxk.... hey adam you might look into an epoxy sealer for concrete with seal the floor and stop all that concrete dust
Time consuming, but worth it... Coming right along, a step at a time! Your shop's lookin' good Man! As usual looking forward to the next video.... :o]
O,,,
I like that space around the Monarch Adam, Like jello there is alway,s room for more. But come to thank of it my Dad would say to me, Son your a half ah bubble off.
Blue moon?? You mean that wasn't way oil?? ;-)
Looks like a neater arrangement. I like having mine out in the middle of the floor instead of against a wall. Better access to well, everything.
Colin
Gill always brings some tasty beer choices when he stops by. He had some new flavors to try, so I helped with a couple of them! LOL
I like having the lathes out away from the walls myself, but In my case I am just so strapped for real estate. I think they will now both work better for me and I still have some nice kicking room on the front side. Thanks Colin.
I liked the Abom size hand broom.
The handle broke off one day so I decided, well that's going to be the new shop hand broom. LOL
Time to knock out a wall and ask your subscribers to donate at Patreon to expand your shop! MORE VIDEO CONTENT FOR US!!! By the way the ceiling looks great!
You could have put a lazer pointer in the chuck pointing out the rear to show you if it cleared.
Do shops ever line up two lathes so that the thru-headstock workpiece can be supported by the other lathe?
Also, when leveling how do you know all four feet have the same pressure to the floor, can you just 'tell' from the leveling wrench?
Good video.
I have never seen a shop with lathes in line with each other, and I would suggest not doing that. I think it's best to have plenty of room on the headstock end for inserting bar stock when needed. if you have enough space, I think the best layout is having them at an angle to the wall, if you have multiple machines in a shop.
As for the jack bolts, you have to "feel" the torque on them to make sure they are tight against the pads, but also you must watch the level because it does not take much pressure to make it move. It's not like torquing down a bolt.
I wonder about putting a piece of 2"drill rod in the chuck and the tailstock and leveling off that. Also did you use the center bolts to level with then snug the outers? That might help to get some sway out too by letting the weight of the headstock buck it up in the middle for ya. I find most all the wear to always be in the 1st 18" from the chuck usually since that is where most cutting gets done. I would be surprised for your lathe to be low in the middle. A piece of ground bar and an indicator on the toolpost doing a quick sweep along the bed length will give you a real good idea where you are at.
I don't think the wear is bad considering the age of the machine. When I say wear, I'm talking a few thousanths when reading the bubble. The level reading a half a bubble off on each end of the machine. I'll do some checking by taking some test cuts, and if possible tweek the jack bolts to see if I get any differences. I'm used to the machine and any taper I get I have learned to work into the machining.
Hi Adam. What model is that Monarch? It's a beautiful beast of a lathe. P.S. Thanks for all the great videos --- many enjoyable hours spent learning from you!
That's a Noofie T'umb wrench cuz you use your t'umb to make it fit!
your going to need an extension like i said adam your shop need to be twice as wide
anyway both lathe 's are both sitting true now looks like you could do with some epoxy
resin on the floor to seal all that dust in i remember when we did the garage workshop floor
we did it on the friday it had cured by monday keeps the dust down and spills are easier to
clean up any way great video adam
I will probably have to do that Andy. I've lived with the dust for years, but it gets so aggrivating sweeping up and making a huge white dust cloud every time. I think the chips in the floor and walking around on them doesn't help things.
well resin or floor paint either should works just as well floor paint might be the cheaper option to be honest as you could possibly do it every two years or so the oil didnt effect ours in fact it helped with spillages made them easier to clean up
I can certainly relate to reorganization of space Adam. As you know with my mill project, I went to tackle the next step in getting parts cleaned and detailed for primer and paint, and needed more space, so needless to say thats why no recent pics of my progress to the mill. Finally got things done with the shop area, so pics to follow shortly! Where is Gill and what are his rates? And what does he charge for travel time? A good friend to have for sure!
Shirts looking good!
Razor!
Shirts fit good too Ray! Love wearing them. Gill usually requests that he gets to ponder through ones tool boxes, and storage shelves, and material racks in trade for his services rendered. He's a good friend, and knows how to get things done. He always enjoys giving me a hand with the machines, because he claims it's "fun", when compared to normal work.
Thanks ray!
Abom79
Good morning Adam,
You know if I were closer you'd have two helpers!!
Enjoy your weekend!
At work we call a "All 16th's wrench" a metric adjustable.
awesome video :) adam if your lathe is sway backed how do you compensate for that when turning ? im curious cause mine has a bit of a dip in it and it shows up when turning a piece 18 inches long
Rarely have I ever had to use the lathe for long turning jobs, but when I do I have to take notice of taper, and work that into the job. Usually filing and polishing is common when finishing.
Looking good man, you can't ever move house!
I don't ever want to move again, unless I find our dream home that has a huge shop with 3 phase power, and a pool for her. She better start saving her lunch money for the pool boy, cause I hate maintaining those things!
Beer always makes leveling easier! How you like that Blue moon pumpkin? I leveled out the 120" at work a few months ago and it took about 2 hrs to do. I'm sure you know this, but run the lathe, take a few test cuts and then let it sit for 24 hrs, then check the level again. Machines settle a lil when moved. Well thats what a Clausing repair guy told me... :)
You can buy sawdust with oil on it to get the powder off the floor or make your own if you can get the sawdust.
There's a floor sweep compound I like that is sold right up the road at a janitorial supply house. Not badly priced either. I need to go pick up another box of it.
How do you lift the thing without toe jack? I just got very old smaller lathe, it's now sitting in my miniature worshop, just like the truck pushed it in for me (yay, did not have to wrestle it in the door), but one end now sits on the 2x4 we used a a skate (pararel to the lathe) and another end on the metal pipes . turns out the wood skate was a bad idea, its in the center and when i try to lift it my lathe wants to tip over. Need another guy now to wield another giant pry bar (which I do not have) to change the 2x4 to steel pipes.
Hi Adam,
I'd be curious to see what we'd get if you install a GoPro camera on Stella's nose, we'd probably get interesting views...(Please, don't switch on the odorama feature of the camera)
What you're doing is called "Shop shrinking", This is the moment where you start sitting in a spot and wonder if the shop is large enough to meet with your tools and ambitions.
Take care,
Pierre
I already knew during the planning stages that my shop was going to be a tight fit. But I had to make it work. I'm happy with how things have turned out, and as I have shown as time goes on I keep tweeking things to make things work better for me. It's a nice cozy shop, with all of the essential tools one needs for some basic job shop work. Maybe one day I could add on the front wall and extend the shop forward.
You're lucky down there if the city let's you enlarge, here I have a 600 sq. feet garage that was built before they limited the size to 450.
My hopes to enlarge are next to nothing...
Hey Adam,
You need a larger shop, Man! Regarding the dust on your floor, try a sweeping compound. If you have never used it, it is sawdust treated with a wax and it really picks up dusty dirt and keeps it from getting all over the place. I've gotten it at Grainger, but I would image it would be available at a janitorial supply place. Regarding you guys moving the lathe, I'm not afraid of hard work. I can watch it for hours! LOL So did Stella get some doggy treats for her supervision? Thanks for the video. It was great that Gil helped you. I remember the hassle you had with the Victor!
Have a good one!
Dave
Dave, I do use floor sweep and love it. I recently ran out and need to buy some more. The stuff I get is sold up the rod from a cleaning supply house. It comes in a box and it red in color, and has an oily film to it. Best stuff I have used. I don't know why my floor likes to chalk up so much. It's gets frustrating. I would love a sealed floor, but don't want to spend the money or time on that now.
Abom79 Boiled linseed oil treated with mineral spirits can be used to treat new or old concrete floor
just curious, what's behind the blast cabinet? 21:16 ... it looks like it's another blast cabinet. Either way, it's taking up a lot of space.
the shop is looking good. have you considered painting and sealing the xposed floor not moving anything just painting
around the machines.
Yep, it's been on my mind for a while, especially with the concrete powder I get.
great vid ...what kid of pump jack is that ......name. where you got it thanks
+anthony marasco It's called a toe jack. This one is made by Enerpack. I borrowed it from James Kilroy.
Adam, What is the model of your Monarch. Do you use it for metals other than steel?
Hi Adam, nice bit of kit those toe-jacks, have you thought about making one?...........especially with your experience in your full time job.
I like the name 'all-sixteenths', very descriptive, but I'm left wondering why I see them so often on so many machinists channels, when the right size spanner must be available. I do a lot of fencing which often has oversized bolts due to the galvanising so a pair of adjustables gets used occasionally.
Not everyone invests in the correct size end wrench, as they can be pretty costly new. My set only goes up to 1 1/4". On the jack bolts, I used the 15" adjustable because its got enough length to give you some torque.
l have like this machine .. l couldnt ever think to remove it anymore
Adam are you now going to do like Tom and turn some metal with the middle part deeper than the 2 ends and take measurements too??
That will tell you where your lathe is at...I saw Toms video on his Yam lathe.
Always look forward to seeing your videos
Thanks for sharing
Manny
Manny, yes I plan to make some test cuts and see where she stands.
ok I hope shes ok and reue if not hopefully she has room to adjust
manny
"We", up here in ohio, call it a Kentucky thumb wrench. Lol
Is that the same as a colchester lathe. ? I saw a Colchester on Ebay in Aus today for $1800 and it looked like it hadn't been used in a very long time. As in dirty and not loved but the machined surfaces looked very goodt. It was huge like your one, so i haven't got the space for it. A bargain I think.
Probably not a bad deal if all it needs is some cleaning and tweaking. Not the same as Monarch but another fine machine.
Adam, Now that the Monarch is back to level will you be checking the alignment?
Eric
Yes i will be making some test cuts to see how its doing.
Thanks for that question. ;) That was exactly what I was wondering about.
What if you just put a plug in the power supply on the lathe? Plug and unplug to use the gantry and not have conduit laying on the floor.
A valid option, but I think I prefer both the lathes to be hard wired in. When I'm using the gantry crane I will be rolling it back and forth quite often.
Adam, Will you need to reroute your lathe power line to let the gantry roll behind the lathe?
Wish I lived near by I'd bring my Johnson bar over and help out.
Regards,
Eric
Yes I talked about that part at the end of the video.
Oh, shoot I guess I missed that part. Sorry.
Eric
Before you get more machines, you need more shop. Maybe kick out the wall behind the lathes. You already have a slab outside...
Tom - Vista, CA
I would have to have the concrete re-poured if I built onto the west wall, because I only paid to have a basic slap poured. It's possible I could extend the shop south (garage door wall) another 20-30'.
Abom79
I think you would be a much happier camper if you did that. You wouldn't have to knock out any walls, and you could do it in stages, as time permits. Pour the slab and footings (use it for a patio for a while). It wouldn't have to be cinder block consturction (but I don't know your local codes).
cuanto te costo tu torno monarch?
That wrench looks metric to me? :)
Was this before sns??
ok....that worked. :-) Now if you ever have to move it again .....or anything like it.. invest in 3 or 4 pieces of 4 foot steel pipe to use as roller bearings. With tactical placement you can also steer with minimum effort. To stop a runaway situation ,in advance make some wooden wedges to use as stop ramps. If what your moving is only a few hundred pounds....cpvc plastic pipe will also work against a wooden bottom....not steel bottom. To get it onto the pipe...tilt the object one end at a time
Stella is doing a good job as shop supervisor. Damn poor job that can't afford a boss. Do you have an "all millimeters" wrench as well?
My old all 16ths wrench no longer fits the metric stuff we have in the UK!
The great thing about the common " All sixteenths" wrench is that it instantly doubles into an "all meters" wrench.
Abom79
I have metric and English Crescent wrenches, and a couple old Whitworth ones as well. It's important not to mix them up! 8^)
Big blue moon fan but expensive, try top shock. Very similar
and if u can find 16 oz cans , cheap as shit. Blue moon bottles, here in Pa, are $33 and top shock 16oz cans are $23.
Hello my frend ,,,greece need your help ,how can find rpm my lathe tos..thanks
Nice video. What are the dimensions of your shop?
Hey Chad, the shop measures 18x50.
why do you need a drill press when you have a milling machine?
Using a drill press for simple drilling and chamfering operations keeps that much wear off your mill. Plus, It's nice have a second drilling machine on tap.
Where can I buy a metric open-end adjustable wrench? :>))
Check your local auto parts stores! LOL
Abom79
Good idea! I bet they carry metric pliers too, hmmm...
Hey Adam.. not to jump on your video here with anything presumptuous..
but would you consider a mild challenge?
I got a few Rifle Barrels I'd like to have muzzle threaded with Standard 1/2X28 and shouldered up to look factory, the bluing and or parkerizing, I'd be able to handle on my end .. the COOL part for you is, a few are STAINLESS steel (I think they used 304), and Some Carbon Steel.. but with a bunch of differing Barrel Diameters.
if you do like that idea, and would consider it.. I'd be happy to host links and direct people to you're stuff doing a basic gunsmithing job, that really is a bit too much for doing as a home project. kinda like that one where you had of all things a LEFT HAND twist drill, and just walked out the offending screw from the scope base.
the biggest thing is of course the varying amount of on center OD to actual bore center inner bore axis, and getting them to correspond when the threads are cut to correctly align the screwed on unit to the bore axis to stop potential bullet strikes.
some barrels aren't the best for being totally concentric and weren't well lathed to correct that as a barrel blank.
as always, even when you're NOT machining some cool project and just setting your shop up, to fit you and your equipment better.. it's cool to watch.
Seeya
Dude
As I had stated in my last sns video, I don't do gun smithing work. I appreciate the offer but have no interest in working on firearms. I shouldn't have even showed that bit, but wanted to touch on the left hand drill technique. I only did it for a friend to return a favor and help him out. Again, I appreciate your offer, but I am going to pass.
Abom79 no problem brother.. just thought threading a bare barrel would be kinda cool to show how you set up for different diameters while making the same thread diameter, and pitch. Sorry to bug you.. love all the OTHER machine work you perform.
Seeya
Dude
Around my area we call adjustable wrenches Farmer Fits all's.
I wonder if Stella is thinking who the hell is he talking to ? LOL
Yep, she always stands in the distance looking at me while I'm working. LOL
Will you run the lathe,then recheck the level again?
You guys must be weak,as I had no problem moving my South bend model A! :)
always enjoy your videos as well as the comments from other guys,
Thanks
ER
All ya need is some pipe and a Johnson Bar to make you look manly moving the big boys machines around.
haha good idea,one day I hope to get a big machine boy you have some dandy's!
I am in Utah not many old stuff around, not like back in my home state of Indiana, But there is a company here that sells older stuff mills Lathes, They all are in immaculate condition, Look like they did when they were made back in the day, they have a TH-cam channel Ill see if I can find it,
Keep up the good work.
Machinery Consultants Inc
Some super clean older metal.
EarlRausch
Yes I have seen a few of there videos. They have some beautiful machines no doubt, but I'm wondering what there prices are like. I'm sure they charge a premium for there rebuilding services.
you are right there prices reflect the quality then some, I went to there warehouse and talked to them and they said that many of the machines that they get in are from the government,labs and gov projects,
I am glad to see your video on the KT as I have often thought that a horizontal mill would we quite ridged, and would be super for key-ways. I would like to get a shaper one day, but at sixty years old I had better get with it!.
Best wishes to you and all of the guys who comment here.
21:18 - it does ...
I do have a pretty inventive idea for you if you'd like to discuss it on email. Something I'd rather not just give away but would like your help with. If you are curious about my idea to make some spare change into folding money, get my email from Tom or let me know how to send you a private message so I don't have to put it out here where the thumbs down weasel can snoop on it.
It's a fun little invention I think you guys would like, and I'm waiting for word from one of you big Chiefs before I buy the materials to make a prototype.
Thanks for the video, I am glad you had Gil's help this time...Aloha, Chuck
check out how much one of those toe jacks are new lol
My new vid is called "how to shit!"...lolz Just jks, love ur vids Adam
10:52 that's called.. Playin tha ole timer! "Yeah.... its under there somewhere ole fella!"..... Good to see you giving some curry back to the machinist community. Paul
Glad you enjoyed Paul. We got a little ahead of ourselves and forgot to move the pads out of the way when we went to heave hoeing that beast over.
About your floor, why don't you wet it down with some water and degreaser, then give it a good sweep to loosen things up, then suck up the mess with a shop vac? Couple times doing that should take care of most of your dust.
Hobby Machinist It's not dirty at all, maybe a couple spots where my Malibu leaked oil, but it's basically dry. It seems to chalk over really bad. Even after I sweep it up using floor sweep, next time it's just a dusty as before. I wondering if there's a concrete sealant I can spray down that will help, or If I would have to just go all out with concrete floor paint. If I was thinking ahead, I would have done that before ever moving the machine shop down.
Abom79 Yes, I think sealer or paint would help...
how the hell can six people dislike this???
Hi Adam !
Nice to see you getting organised little by little ;-))
I see 3 issues to discuss with you:
1)
Now I see your blasting cabinet, I will ask you a question - and don't be agry with me now, because it has to do with your size - AND MINE, because I'm a big boy like you - you know, real men weigths over 100 kilos and have white shadows under the tits !
My question is: Can you get gloves for that cabinet big enough for your hands ? ... because I can't !
If you can, do you have a link ?
2)
You talk about "white dust" when you sweep the floor - be aware that MAYBE the dust comes from the concrete used to mold the floor - if your floor is made within the last few years, it COULD be the case. IF that's the case, you have to paint the floor to solve the problem. I had that same problem after the first year and I had to paint the floor and now the dust is gone.
3)
I thought that brush, you gave Gill .. was your shaving brush ;-))
Keld, I have only ever bought the replacment gloves with whatever they had. I don't think there was different sizing, but now that you mention it I will be checking into that.
The shop was built in the mid 80's, so looks like I'm going to have to seal or paint it.
Gotta love the Abom size hand brush huh!

copy paste this link it will bring to mc master-carr and too a sweeping compounds !! i use the wax base compound works great to keep the dust down !! a bit on the expensive side but hey if it works lol
Nice job leveling
. Your shop looks nice and clean. I need to get that level I have out and check my lathe. I am afraid of what I might find. Has Gill started a you tube channel yet?
Thanks Steve. I try and keep it as organized as I can. Gill has no plans to post videos, he said that's my job. But we plan to share footage that he takes on my videos on future projects he's working on.
