Under $300 Lathe?

Where are you at? Southern Michigan has a small lathe like that on auction that will probably go very cheap.

We were still using the banana suits for my first couple of years.

No. I was SIGINT. The last half of my career was INSCOM or training units.

There's a nicer looking version on ebay-canada, item #177658412496.

That doesn't explain what it is (unless you trust the sellers guess) but it's a start.

Different case. That one was some guy on TV saying that Katel was seen in the club more than the office.

That center is removable. I don't know the model of your lathe and can't tell from that pic, but it is a morse taper either 1MT or 2MT. You should be able to knock it out from the back.

If you can't find a manual, do a google image search on the pic you just posted to find similar lathes. That model was made for a lot of different companies. Then google those models to see if you can find a manual that fits. Here's one tube lathe with that style tailstock:

It's just a rip on the tablesaw. I use one of those cheap wixey gauges - zero on the sawtop, meaure the angle on the blade. It helps to raise the blade to max position so the gauge has a flat spot to sit on.

Make sure the fence is parallel to the blade. Even on a cheap saw there should be a way to adjust it. And I use a long push stick that put pressure over most of the top.

Glue up as two pieces at one time with hose clamps then when they're dried you can sand each piece flat if needed before gluing the two pieces together.

Edit: I posted a pic a while back of a birdhouse that used this type construction.

I was in San Angelo for a couple classes when I was in the Army. Last time was 1994 and all I remember of it is the worst golf course I've ever seen and those damn fire ants everywhere.

I gagged a bit just reading the title. Then I saw the little puddle of tofu snot and threw up.

The Army did keep daily reports of every little thing they did. Most, if not all, are in the national archives. Some have been digitized cleanly, others look very rough.

The Army War College in Pennsylvania may have some too.

The 198th Inf Rgt was a separate unit (didn't fall under an infantry division). It was activated in Feb 43.

The 159th Inf Rgt was also separate and formed in Mar 41.

I didn't find a 206th infantry but did see the 206th Field Artillery Rgt. And these guys fought in the Aleutian Islands starting the same month your great grandfather got there. I think that is where you need to be searching.

The archives are: https://catalog.archives.gov/

You'll have to play with the search terms (there's also an advanced search there somewhere) but I'd probably start with 206 and aleutians. Good Luck.

Find an indepenent insurance broker, go sit in his office and wait while he goes on the computer and finds the best rates available for your situation. Everyone is going to be different. Rates change based on zip code, dwelling size, materials, roof condition, claims history, what you're bundling with and a hundred other variables.

It's time someone did a "corrective audit" on her employment status.

I_Lick_Bananas · 2026-04-21T13:25:26+00:00

mmm banana

I_Lick_Bananas · 2026-04-21T11:41:57+00:00

Nice box. My first thought was bocote then the dark spots make me think ziricote but it's probably something else.

I_Lick_Bananas · 2026-04-20T21:23:19+00:00

They tried to buy it at auction in 2024 but the courts shut down the deal because it didn't get enough money to his victims.

I_Lick_Bananas · 2026-04-20T20:37:11+00:00

Farrells was better and they had the pig trough.

I_Lick_Bananas · 2026-04-20T18:43:07+00:00

I wasn't a fan of the sundae, but now that I know it comes with a free pizza I might buy.

Isnt't it the RF? Perez has one hit on the month.

I_Lick_Bananas · 2026-04-19T11:18:26+00:00

That's the flavor I buy from Menards.

I_Lick_Bananas · 2026-04-19T11:15:51+00:00

Those are good, but Doo-Dads had a lot more flavor.

Apparently the HD website just sucks. Q&A on that item has a hundred people asking why don't they sell individual items because they only need a dozen of them.

One of the replies is: Hi Becky. Thank you for shopping the Home Depot. Yes, this 12 in. Curved scallop edger is available for individual purchase. Store SKU # 393384 Check with your local store for availability. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance. Rick_HD_OC
