Saturday the 3rd of December I should being posting my latest video. The Mini Lathe Tailstock Upgrade. Now that I'm finished with the machine stand/base, I can focus on all of the upgrades that little lathe can use. It really don't "need" any of the upgrades. I used my Harbor Freight Mini Lathe for years without doing any of the so called fixes or upgrades. I've actually done tight tolerance aerospace parts for customers on my mini lathe. I mean customers that did their inspections on CMM,s. Your part don't pass inspection and you don't get paid. Any ways, I can't wait to get into the lathe bed extension. That may be more than one video. I'll try to update the Blog more often. But, Until then enjoy my channel. Hey, Have you gone to my Tik Tok channel? @glennnow Check it out. Below a picture of me with the new tailstock upgrade.

Just a fast post. I'm finished with the machine base for the Mini Lathe and I put an update on the Mini Shop Update Page. A lot of pictures. Take a look. It's like a sneak peek, before the video comes out. Should be out Saturday the 19th of Nov. until then Enjoy.
I'm getting closer to finishing the stand/bench for my Mini Lathe. I painted the cabinets that goes under the stand facing the operator, Most likely I'll use it to put all the tools I use on the lathe. I painted it a gloss black. I have some pictures of it all painted and ready to be mounted. The stand, I still need to finish painting it. Red, Can you picture it. A red frame with black under cabinet. All of this painting just to match the Mini Lathe. Here's a few pictures below. I started painting the stand but was not able to finish. Called away by family. Finishing another day will be just fine. When it is finished I'll be putting a full set of pictures on the website. Not sure which page. Maybe the Hobbies Page. Wood working is one of my other hobbies. I need to do a video of some wood working projects. Soon, I mean maybe soon. Anyway, once the stand is finish the Mini Lathe Bed Extension starts. Well until next time, Enjoy.
My Mini Lathe bench is coming along pretty good. That's what has been taking up all my time. I did put out a new video on Saturday morning. A brass bushing and The mini lathe. I feel it got off to a good start. Hey, I have a picture of the Mini lathe bench, It's not finished yet but I think it is far enough along to start showing people. It is suppose to look like a lathe from the 1800's on the one side, and on the operators side its like a desk. Here's a look. It still needs to have the cabinets mounted under it and then be painted. I have all the picture of this thing being made from the beginning. I'll put all of them in the Mini Shop Update page when the bench is finished. Well, until then. Enjoy.
