Not sure if any of you remember me... I have gone by many different names. (SSCS, Mahogany Beast, Dehumanizer and Johnny V) I recently moved my lathe equipment to a powered storage space. Wife and I are about to close the Antique shop we have been running for the last 5 years and now I am ready...

Pissed at myself is different than being pissed at someone else for me. If I am playing bad then that voice in my head starts chirping... If someone sends me off all goes quiet. Strange I know... Sent from my SM-G925T using Tapatalk

Believe it or not... He was a friend of mine. Sent from my SM-G925T using Tapatalk

Not sure what it is but when I am genuinely pissed I play like Efren. The only time I have strung 4 racks together is when a guy made a comment I didn't like. We were playing a race to 10 and I was down 5 to 7. After he said what he did we threw some verbals back and forth. I almost jumped...

8 ball chip tournament 14 players. Played against an individual that, after my 5th consecutive shot, started yelling to fictional people across the bar. He was doing it as soon as I was getting down on my shots. He then found someone to talk to and the conversation turned to putting a bullet in...

Turned a #2 morse taper tool holder out of delrin today. First I parted off a 2.25 inch section. Did a center hole and then stepped up the drills to .5 inch. Switched to a boring bar and set the compound to 1.6 degrees. Ran it out to the end. First try had it perfect. So now I can put my mt2 pen...

That's awesome! Let me guess... the 2 handles, the 3 balls on the handle, jackscrew, the threaded clamp, the clamp plate and the part you don't see the axle in the middle? Great work for a 16 year old. Sent from my SM-G925T using Tapatalk

First turn on the metal lathe... still need to get some files to clean it up... here is my first turn. It will spin for 1min 16sec Sent from my SM-G925T using Tapatalk

Saw a taper bar on YouTube for 20 bucks. I removed the tool post lock screw and it slides perfectly. I have a welder, plasma cutter etc to build the rest. Starting on pens and going to work my way up as I learn more about the machine. Spindle bore is 1.5 inches. My cheap players cue fits it...

I used a 5400lb capacity chain that goes through the ways and through a couple of c bars that lifted from the bottom. The straps were only used to keep it level because it wanted to roll over when got it into the air. There was less than 150lb on the 200lb capacity harbor freight straps. Sent...

I had to dismantle it to get it in the van. I couldn't lift it high enough with the base on it to get it in there Sent from my SM-G925T using Tapatalk

As suggested (thank you) I bought a cherry picker crane from harbor freight and rented a van from uhaul. It took us two hours to find the center point. Another 3 hours to get it mounted back on the base. It has been a VERY long day and we are exhusted. Now I get to have some fun. Sent from my...

I bought it used from a personal owner. I may have found someone with a lift gate that will do it for 100. Still looking tho. Sent from my SM-G925T using Tapatalk

Thanks for the great info! Been doing research all morning. You would be surprised how many companies don't do this kind of thing [emoji1] Sent from my SM-G925T using Tapatalk

Thank you! Sent from my SM-G925T using Tapatalk

3 phase is gone. Beggars cannot be choosers. Doesn't mean I can't get one later. I will call around for a lift gate truck today. Thanks guys. Sent from my SM-G925T using Tapatalk

I have my eye on a couple of vintage south bends right now. Holding out for one that might be in better shape. Sent from my SM-G925T using Tapatalk
