Re: Armoire's machine shop the new frontier
I have a whole basement for a shop now, but maybe that won't be true forever. This idea is incredibly cool, and a 7x lathe would work as well as a Unimat if you found a big enough armoire.
Mike Taglieri?
These pictures inspired me. but I sold my unimat

I was looking was under for lathes 24" and weight where two could could pick the lathe or 120 pounds [54 KG].

A 24" space is to small I think at less 30" Ideally 36".

I found most Armoire 24" , 30"/32" and 36". I have found a few 18" to 72"

I made a copy of this one, mostly from the pictures. I don't know who to attribute it to, it was ten years ago from the internet. There might have been instructions on mounting the saw, it is for a Harbor Freight. I would assume one could figure it out for his particular saw. It works well, I still use it to this day. I had a trigger type switch adapted to a handle I made for it, but now I just have a toggle switch I use.

Lots of DIY plans out there, here’s two
Quinn at Blondihacks has a neat design that mounts the whole thing ?in your bench vise so it’s easy to stow away when you’re not using it.

Look up a universal portable band saw stand. HF has one for like $120 plus there are others. Need to make sure it will fit yours. I have one, can't remember the brand (to cold and snow to go out to garage but will look later if you want). Only used it once so far but it does work. Good luck. Ron

Re: ANSWER TO GUIDE RULE
The LIKE feature is of very little value - IMHO
Here is what the User manual for says:
Using the Like featureSimilar to social media apps
and websites, 开云体育 has a feature allowing group members to indicate
that they like messages that are posted to the group. You can use
either of these methods to like a group message: - On the group’s website, click the Like?icon at the bottom of the message.
- By email, reply to the message you want to like and enter either +1?or the word like?as
the text of your reply. (If your reply quotes the message you are
replying to, delete all the quoted text so your reply contains only +1?or like.)
This
reply will not be sent to group members or appear in the message
archive on the group’s website, but your like will be included in the
count next to that message’s Like icon on the website.
So - only if you look at the message on the site will you see the like count. In searching the last 700 messages, I never saw more than 1 person liking on any message.
A more important feature, again IMHO, is the Mute This Topic link that you will see at the bottom of the message.
??? As far as I can tell the like button only shows up if yer
reading messages from the groups page on , not in
standard email format either .

Re: Armoire's machine shop the new frontier
I think it’s the one that Clickspring uses a lot in his videos…in fact I think that he refers to his 7x14 as his ‘big’ lathe :-)?

Re: LED Machine Lighting Sale
UPDATE! I have been in touch with Menards special order specialist Megan in Plano Illinois. She and I have come to the conclusion that the supplier of the lamps made the mistake (Menards did not have them in their possession and were the seller of the suppliers surplus inventory)
?
I urge all who may have ordered these and received the incorrect lamps to contact Menards for a return and refund.
?
Menards did say that should the correct lamps come available I will be notified.

Sorry gang for the inconvenience, Darren M.
