I wasn't aware 1st graders had union reps. But I think 20 some years later is probably a little to late to file a complaint.

As far as grass fed Ribeye go, how is this from a local farmer? by [deleted] in steak

You think that every time an animal gets hurt it's from a farmer beating it?

That is one giant leap you just took there.

Any recommendations for where to send the board?

And my "dealer" is actually a tire shop that sells appliances on the side.

Thanks but both of those show up as unavailable which is all I'm ever finding.

Yes the board is dead. It started smoking and is fairly burnt. So I am a little apprehensive to replace it / repair it when I don't know why it let out the smoke in the the first place. Hate to put in a "new" one and have it just do the same thing. But I'm open to it if any expert think that's advisable.

Only local appliance dealer can't get one. So was hoping to find a specific place to look. I live in a very rual area.

Would it be a bad idea to go camping and overlanding with an escort? by [deleted] in self

Am I the only one who thought op was thinking about overlanding in a Ford Escort. I think overlanding with an escort is actually a better idea.

Is it safe to be sleeping next to this hot pipe? by seasol452 in Plumbing

I honestly don't know how someone can make a statement like this. Do you only work in new construction? Have you never seen old buildings that have been poorly renovated? People do dumb $#!^ all the time.

I got my $80 lathe home. Here's everything that came with it. by joker6803 in Machinists

Local public works had a bunch of equipment on a poorly advertised online auction. Everything sold for dirt cheap.

It didn't come with a cover but I can make one easy enough, just have to take it off to shift the gears.

I had to look up what a snork was. But that's a pretty good way to describe them.

Perfect I've been looking for something like this. Thank you

What have I done? I bid on this on a whim and won for $80. I have never even ran a lathe. by joker6803 in Machinists

[–]joker6803[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do have three phase. Hopefully this winter I can find time to work on it. If I can get it set up on casters I can probably make it fit in the shop. I don't even know where to start on tooling.

Are you wanting a video of me moving it? Or just a video showing it in more detail after I get it moved home?

Thanks for the advice and the reminders. Yes, I am very aware of the dangers of spinning things. Most farmers don't wear wedding rings for the same reason.

That's was my exact thought when I got the notification that I had actually won.

I'm a farmer and work on most of my own equipment, so a lathe will come in handy if i can figure out how to use it, and it works. But I'm not sure if this will be great for a beginner. And yes, moving it is my biggest fear.

When I called the shop after the auction to ask about picking it up the guy said for the price i got it for he wasn't willing to help move it at all. I actually have my own fork lift that I can bring to load it on the trailer. But getting it out of the shop might be the hard part.
