the cobbler's sons, wear no shoes.

I do have a lathe, but no 3 phase or much tooling....

Way to go, Brandi. Now you get to do what YOU want. Beware, the chores and jobs will only grow!

Thanks Jim. But I won't be staying in the land of retirement. I have a (huge) sawmill shed to build, a deck to build for a friend, build my log house and find time to run the sawmill, excavator, and my loader backhoe. I plan on keeping busy.:cool2: When I get all that done, I will look for an old truck to rebuild, like a White or Dodge to put over a cummins powered dually. Maybe help my son rebuild an early Challenger.:thumbsup: Oh yeah.............fishing for cats in my ponds will take some time also.
hugs, Brandi

..........the barbers sons have no haircuts.:laughing: No 3 phase service sucks.:thumbdown: It's expensive to get. Maybe I need to store your lathe for you. Yeah...........that's the ticket.:drink:
I have been known to machine my own parts, but did that mostly in the hangar when the plane was finished and I didn't feel like sleeping. Slow with hand tools, but doable.:dance1: Like in post #1 here....... https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/build-yourself/229883-hydraulic-auger-mount.html?highlight=

Watch craigslist for a used rotary phase converter. You won't get true horsepower out of your motor (unless you get a really good one) but it will be close. I used to run a couple of big CNC machines off of one as well as the rest of my home shop. 3 phase is so much nicer for motors - no more starting and run caps that always go out at the worst times.

That plack was very nice! Definitely something to keep the good memories alive. Congrats:salute: :cake::number1::star::airplane::firecracker:
