The little old German smurf lathe is back in the tool temple!
I bought this lathe on a whim and haven't decided if I'm going to keep it or sell it. But first I need to get it going again. It needs a new belt, a new motor and a VFD drive. When that's all done I'll done I'll decide what to do, after some testing of course. If it works great, I might even restore the old machine make her nice pretty.

A video inspired by Devo's shed. Fixing the pull cord on my old Echo chain saw. A fix involving little machining and no lathe work. But it had to be done. And there is some awesome Chinesium drill press action :)
Basically the video is about adding a washer to the chainsaw starter rope, to prevent the nut in the rope from pulling trough the pull start handle. Easy job.

In this video I try making a spindle gouge from an old file, and turn a handle for it on my old wood lathe.

Finally trying a piece of hss to bore out the crappy collet chuck in an attempt to get a mirror surface finish. Hopefully this will work better the the carbide insert tooling I was using in the previous video.

And for those of you who don't like buying from Banggood I have recently also joined the Ebay and Amazon affiliate programs. Who knows maybe this works better that Banggood's program.
They were a bit hard to setup and Amazon seems to be rather expensive but they probably have the best delivery times.

I'm resurrecting the best tool I ever made from an old file so I can use it to turn the outside of a plum tree bowl blank.

I need to clean house for that inevitable estate sale.
So for sale the weirdly designed, made in Holland, PDF lathe.

In my previous video I machined a v-goove for a XPZ v-belt into the old round leather belt pulley, from my vintage Karger lathe.
Now it's time to reassemble the spindle. But before I can do that I need to polish up the spindle bearing journals and clean up some other parts.
And in my next video I'm going to install a vintage frequency controller, that will bleed your ears out, and on old junk-yard electric motor the could use some new bearings.

Replacing the 32 year old Allen Bradley VFD that has been running my old Lathe for a while, with a cheap little Chinese XYS-AT1 drive. Made possible by some donors with a fear of hearing loss :)
