Thx Jeff, yes my design. Some "engineering-on-the-fly" and hand bending the wire.
I really hate the ones one can by where you need to tilt and twist to release it. Almost like one of those metal puzzles
What welding projects are you working on? Are you proud of something you built?
How about posting some pics so other welders can get some ideas?

I am taking my time and looking for a small lathe to play with. I don't know alot about them and haven't used one since Highschool but more and more I am finding the need to make small parts.motox wrote:jeff

Thx Jeff. Yes its a mt2, good eyes
Sadly just for the pillar drill.
Havent got the space for a lathe nor mill, otherwise there would be no end of the madness

The ideal workshop is a place where the madness never ends...lathe...mill...forge...3D printer...vapour blaster...etc...

What I lack in ability, I make up for in tools. I need a lathe like I need a hole in the head but I will still get one and then sit and look at it 6 months later and wonder why I bought it...Can welding fumes cause that?MosquitoMoto wrote:AndersK wrote:Thx Jeff. Yes its a mt2, good eyes

I need a lathe for dozens of reasons.
* Spare knurled footpegs for rearsets
* Spare connecting rods (shift, brake) for rearsets
* Wheel spacers
* Swingarm spacers
* Disc spacers
* Frame bungs...I could go on.
...I could go on. The fact is, virtually nothing I need to make on a lathe would be very technically challenging or complex, yet all are items which, if I had to approach a local machine shop to create then, would cost me proper money.
Time to get a cheapie Siegl or similar.

Made a handrest tonight. Long enough to reach diagonally if needed.

Nice Anders! You're WAY more creative than I am...I usually steal my ideas and then take credit for it

Well I probably shouldnt take credit for the arm rest. Seen a coupple before, Jonathan made one I remember from a while ago. Think Jody has one in a video too.
Thx anyway.
The legs? I made them from 22 mm aluminium tubes.

Nice!
That propping apparutus is a clever touch.
It looks like you have some space constraints too. A compact welding table was a first project for me when I upgraded to an AC/DC TIG unit, since nothing off-the-shelf really suited my purpose as well. The metal brake is a new addition to it.

I really really want a lathe in the garage, but then I need a bigger garage. But if I get a bigger garage then I can get a mill and some other tools we "need". As I say to my wife: "I only buy things we need".
Then, probably the new garage will be to small and we need a even bigger garage. Then I can get more tools that "we" need.
Oh dear, oh dear. Where is this going to end...
Nice work by the way, Anders

I'm in the same boat. Been looking at 10x20 lathes and every time I need it I try to find room.but I've already got both vehicles outside. Plus I'll have to ad AC. Can't let stuff like that rust. Already started priming the wife last summer told her I needed a bigger shop with good power. Close to home but not visible from the house. Then I'd have room for the Hossfeld bender and a mill. And a 4ft sheer. And a 200 lb anvil. And a small forge. And an over head crain with an anchor system in the floor. And a small plaz table.
I have more questions than answers

I know that whole system with rust on equipment. We have a mammoth dehumidifier on my school shop. When they updated the HVAC system they neglected to route it into the shop. Wisconsin summers are humid as hell so everything gets coated in a 1/8" of grease. That is one hell of a big anvil at 200 lbs. That shop you want is gonna be nice with the crane, shear, benders, machining tools. Hope your wife sees it your way. Remind the car would be back in the garage especially during the winter months in Iowa.Poland308 wrote:I'm in the same boat.

A student now but really want to weld everyday. Want to learn everything about everything. Want to become a knower of all and master of none.

Nice work Anders.
The rest of you blokes need to look up Boyles law (of sheds), roughly stated as;
"The amount of equipment, tools,toys,crap will always expand to take up all available space"
You're doomed and will never have enough room.
I too am a victim of this evil, insidious physical law.

Nice job and project design. How much do you estimate if can hold, maybe 50 to 75 lbs? That's enough for many jobs.
Had my welder on it, that's 46 lbs, no worries
Maybe try sitting on it but 207 lbs might be asking for trouble
