I got some from Tim West at Jhlowe. a few years ago.

I found used motors on local for rale sites. I payed $15 to $25 each. Then had my son wire a switch and plug to them. They have worked great for the past 5 years.

Yes. that is what i thought. I will have to wait and save up some money. And make more room. Thanks

I really don't know how to use it. But i see them on metal lathes. It looks like it would be better. But i also don't have much experience using a lathe. I have acquired a small wood lathe and thought it would be easier to use than holding the turning tools in hand.

Is there a Quick Change Tool Post for wood lathes? I only see them for metal lathes.

Welcome Ian. Congrats on the job. Sounds like a great way to learn more. This forum is loaded with great information.

wow! That is really nice. Mine is very amateur. I made the frame out of wood.

Welcome Jacob. This is the right place to learn about pipe making. I would like to see your long belt sander. I also made one. Not the best looking thing but it does the job.

thanks I will give that a try

I can right click but then everything is grayed out and cant click on.

I'm using an HP and some times I try my Ipad.

I can not see the pictures. Is there something I need to do to view them? They show a black square and says image beside it. I've tried clicking on it.

Thanks Sandahlpipe. I will need to practice on stamping. I also may need to get a stamp with less on it. Maybe my initials Instead of my name till I get better at it.

I have a stamp from Buckeye also. I sometimes have trouble getting a good impression. Would a press work with stamp? Or would it be to much pressure?

Thank you Sasquatch. I like the size of that. But I already got the Rigid. This one also takes bags. I had a low budget $49. I also picked up a cyclone that works with a 5gal bucket. I am still looking for good ideas of what to put at the sanders and buffers. I do like what Doc is doing with the kit...

Doc, what is the HP of your vac? I am looking for a smaller size for the area I want to put it. But I want as much HP that I can get. I am looking at a Ridged 9Gal 4.5hp. Should that work?

Welcome Scott

Thank you Dogcatcher. That will be a great addition. And helpful. I have not been in my shop for about 6 weeks. I had a virus that had me down for a while and then minor surgery. Now I'm trying to get my very small shop in a better workable order.
