I picked up this cool JT Slocomb mic off of E-Bay. Do I need another mic? Well no, but this thing is too cool not to have.

I posted this in a separate thread but I'm new to the machining world and excited to learn from the many teachers here. Picked up a Harig 618w surface grinder at a local auction. It is a rack and pinion drive and I've seen many others suggest the cable system is the preferred setup for this.

Thread link for this surface grinder

The good: the ways look nice and it came with an older DRO and nice magnetic chuck.

The bad: the hydraulics were removed so I need to determine if they could be rebuilt.

Wow! The scraping looks like it was just done.

Friend gave these to me… around 30 bars. Not sure what I can use them for, but figured I would take them…

LEE pure lead bars.

I see many, many gift hammers

I thought it looked cute

Actually should work good in my very small wood working area. Have a shelf above the bench I'll replace with one wide enough to hold this. Maybe get a couple more or do something similar with the laser.

Well, newly moved to the shop. Originally purchased because my cat pitches litter like she's digging to China It works great for cleaning the small cut offs off the laser honey comb bed:
