RE: Todays Project - What did you do today? - f350ca - 06-14-2016
I don't find much difference shifting between shops. You can't and don't need to hold quite as tight a tolerances in the cabinet shop, but still have to contend with accumulating errors. Taking into account movement is another aspect I suppose. One thing, my hands become snowy white after few days upstairs.
But tomorrow I need to build up a worn shaft for someone and drill a gun for a scope mount. Back to black hands.

I was really trying to get this project finished before surgery and the foot thing slowed me down.
Built my shop 7/8 years ago and until a couple of years ago I had no water issues. Then the backyard neighbor tore down his fence and I started to get water inside the shop. I looked & looked but there was no evidence of a roof leak and I even checked to see if it was getting inside the wall somehow. Nope. Turned out the fence acted as a diverter.
Determined it was coming under the sill plate so I dug out some of the dirt and applied silicone caulk to seal it. This worked for a while.
This spring we had a couple of good gully washers and of course I had water in the shop. The backyard neighbor's house is at least 2' higher than my shop and possibly a good 3' and his backyard slopes down toward mine. Decided to take the bull by the horns and build a modified French drain. Made a catch pan & grate from a piece of gutter and powder coated expanded metal which feeds into 2" PVC pipe. It in turn goes into a 45 gallon pickle barrel. I put a 3/4hp sump pump in the barrel on top of some concrete pieces to help keep the barrel in the ground.
I had hoped the 2" pipe would eventually come out in a low spot, but no such luck thus the barrel.
It's been hot, dirty, time consuming, and back breaking, but I believe this will prevent any more water coming under the sill. I also made the time to replace some damaged vinyl siding and add an outside outlet. Installed a GFI outlet inside just up stream from the outside outlet.
I've tested it with the garden hose and it worked as planned.
BTW, rotated the pics in Photobucket, but could not get them to stay put and I'm too tired to work on them anymore.

Did this for a guy at work, actually for his brother. It's a 5/8" shaft used on an outboard boat motor. Both ends had external threads but one end snapped off so he wanted me to cut the other end off and drill and tap both ends 3/8-16. It's some grade of stainless steel that cut and drilled fairly well but was somewhat of a bugger to tap. In use the shaft is in the water so I don't know what type of SS it is.

Nice work. Need to come up with some white lead as it makes thread cutting in SS a breeze.
RE: Todays Project - What did you do today? - lilyies - 06-15-2016
what is white lead and in what form do you buy it?
RE: Todays Project - What did you do today? - dallen - 06-15-2016
it can be found in artist supply stores as white oil base paint

The lead was replaced with titanium years ago. Here's a history of artists white lead and a way to make your own. Only if you dare to tread where angels fear to go. http://paintingperceptions.com/the-great-lead-white-shortage/
BTW my wife's an artist and hasn't used white lead for decades. Personally I haven't seen any white lead since 1975 when I was on the USS Coral Sea CVA-43. About the same amount of time for Carbon Tet.
RE: Todays Project - What did you do today? - dallen - 06-16-2016
its still around you just have to find it.

Good to know. I remember the lathes back in high school had little daubers in the tail stock for holding white lead to apply to the dead centers we used. Also back in the day, white lead was used to check the contact pattern on ring and pinion gears when setting up a rear differential.
Just for grins I did an ebay search for white lead. And what do you know... I just bought a NOS 1 lb. can of the stuff.

Next you'll be stocking up on tubs of pig fat. I believe that was also a lube of choice back in the days of black and white radio
