There is a little lathe on CL in Chelsea I could put to use.......

We can't stop here, this is bat country.
I saw that too, it's very little.
Kills me everytime I think about my Grandfathers metal lathe being sold for $75 after he passed... All the attachments and tooling he had for that thing would have made it a supurb lathe for doing chainsaw aluminum cylinders. :msp_sad:
Lathes are probably one of the easiest and many times cheapest useful machine tools to find. You can find them everywhere if you dig around enough. Try finding a good Bridgeport mill at a reasonable cost. I drove quite a bit north of Cedar Rapids about 4 years ago to an auction that had a Bridgeport on it. It had been sitting in a barn unused for years. It was rusty and needed work. The owner had it shoved into a little room and poured a concrete floor in the adjacent room thus the mill would no longer go through the doorway. It would have to be disassembled. I asked the owners son if anyone would be able to help load it with a skidloader. He said the buyer would be on their own. I knew I was done at that point. It still went over $900
Now if anyone is serious about buying a lathe I am sure I can locate one here locally. I just checked one machinery dealer and he has quite a few but they are probably priced above what most folks want to pay. They can be bought from private owners much cheaper.

WTF? Honorary?
To my friends and family, I am all things hillbilly, hick, redneck, country, you name it. Heck, I'm trailer trash while we're at it. Now where'd I put those dang wheels for the house?
There ain't any shortage of hillbillies from the yashureubetchahey tribe up here. Pronounced Ya Shure Yoo Bet Cha Hay for those that have yet to enjoy a Great Lakes baptism.
