Those Axles – 2
ByBob La Londe March 25, 2024March 25, 2024

Well… nothing much to get excited about. I got the old axles off. Okay they are heavy. Maybe solid. Never expected that. The old spring stacks are also much taller than the new spring stacks. I’m going to see if I can use the old springs and hardware, but the tires and wheels are slightly…

Geometric Self Opening Die Heads
ByBob La Londe July 13, 2024

Geometric Self Opening Die Heads I’ve made simple die heads. Some driven by a tommy bar, others by a pin in the mandrel that can be set up come out of the groove and free spin when it reaches the stopping distance. recently I started researching my $350 Lin Huan TL-25 lathe score in the…

ByBob La Londe October 8, 2025

(10/3/2025) I am not as attached to this thing as some people seem to think I should be. Even though I have a sorta/kinda story about it.

Tool Score(s)
ByBob La Londe June 23, 2024

Before Father’s Day I had been looking at a couple Yukon (Harbor Freight) toolbox benches to replace the pair of to small US General tool carts I’ve been using as tool carts at the South Bend (Grizzly) knee mill and Precision Mathews (14×40) lathe in the back shop.
