Thanks man, we just use what we have on hand. If you don't have the tool, and a new tool would be too pricey (or doesn't work . . .) then make one, lol!
@@EverettsWorkshop Agree with the pricey part. Volvo's are a nice riding truck, but the price of the parts and OEM tools. Ouch! Best wishes from Northern Manitoba.
Nice Job Everett as always. If you want to reduce your anxiety when threading metric threads there is a way to disengage the half nut and maintain the same location . Disengage when you reach the end, stop the lathe, back up your tool, start lathe in reverse, catch the same number in reverse ( assuming the dial did not go all the way around) then reverse to your start point, VOILA! no crashed inserts.
Thanks Phil! I only recently heard about this trick, this video was taken in the Fall. Someone said Adam Booth even demonstrated it but I haven't been keeping up on his stuff as much as I'm focusing on trying to catch up on friends' videos after getting behind for a while there.
@@EverettsWorkshop saving time & money on maching costs and disregarding the repair dynamics. my Father was a HD mechanic and he had his share of custom made tools for one off situations
Lol, well, thank you for the compliment but I can't really claim the title of "master" at this point . . . Having fun with being able to use the hobby for real world work too though!
@@EverettsWorkshop Well you've mastered what we 'hobbyists would all love to do, enjoy ourselves doing the thing we love whilst making it purposeful and making a bit of money to fund it... sounds Masterful to me... keep the videos coming Everett! Glyn in England.
Thanks Mal, I actually used the idea from how International and CAT remove their injectors. It's kind of a meld between the CAT tool and International method where you have to thread the cups.
Great to see you fixing that extractor tool. Oh, my Hyundai Sonata GLS 2.4 4 cylinder engine crashed! My wife was on her way back from Church ( I wasn't feeling well that evening) and the check engine light came on. She was only a couple of miles from home and when she puled in we noticed a noise I was hoping I'd never hear. I've got most stuff unhooked or removed getting ready to pull the head. The cams jumped time for sure and I'll look for the rest of the story (Paul Harvey). Hope to see the new shop set up soon, Greg.
Thanks Andrew, I borrowed notes from the CAT and International notebooks as the CAT ones are already threaded and use a tool that has some similarities, and on the old D- and DT-series Internationals you have to thread the copper cups for a slide hammer fitting.
Nice simple design on the cup removal tool. I am jealous about the scrap that you have available through your work. Where I live now there are no scrap yards close by. I didn't know how good I used to have it.
great work Everett ! I need to make a vid on the tools I have made for my new lathe . Most of them started life as a car axle or CV axle . That tool worked out SWEET ! Sure ENJOYED , Thanks man..
Thanks Shawn! And yes, reused auto/truck parts are a great cheap metal source, they tend to be decent material too. I use autoscraptonium as much as possible, lol!

Nice! You should patent that 😊. There are a few tools out there that sometimes work but most of the time don't lol. Your method is pretty much a guarantee 😁👍. I was pretty surprised too when that tap actually tapped. That almost never works for me 🤣. Well done, Everett. Cheers!

Hello Everett, Great work... I must admit after the introduction I was thinking how is he going to shop the chips going into the bore when he tapes the thread in the injector cup... then relief when you put the little plug in before the tapping, sorry for doubting you. See you on the next one... Take care. Paul,,
Thanks Paul! No worries about doubting me, I doubt myself a lot of the time, lol! Yeah, we try to keep as much of the metal shaving crap out of engines as much as possible. They don't really like it :P
12:07 Yes, you can disengage the half-nuts when cutting a metric thread on a lathe with an imperial lead screw. The trick is to stop the lathe after disengaging the half-nuts, preferably BEFORE the thread chasing dial has done a full turn (otherwise, you have to count the turns). Withdraw the threading tool and run the lathe in reverse. Re-engage the half-nuts when the thread chasing dial returns to the number it was on while cutting the thread. This is easiest to remember if you always engage the half-nuts on the same number (say, 1) when cutting metric threads.
You know, I had heard something about that recently (this video was taken last Fall) but have not had a chance to try it yet. That and my new shop is now under construction but when it gets set back up I'm going to try this. A buddy of mine told me about Adam Booth demonstrating it and I will definitely look into it. That would be very handy on this lathe!
@@EverettsWorkshop Sorry, I forgot to mention a crucial point. Don't manually move the carriage while the half-nuts are disengaged. This is the part that requires the most concentration !
Greetings, I just found your channel. This is the first of your videos I’ve seen. I’m pleased to have found it, my interests don’t normally include heavy machinery, but I like what I’m seeing. Your narration is well paced and clear, and the camera work is very good. I intend to follow you for a while, and check out some of your other videos. Just thought you’d like to know that my initial impressions are good. Let’s be careful out there.
Thank you James, I appreciate the kind words. I'm still just a hobbyist, sometimes miss something editing, and even sometimes plain lose footage or mess up focus, but I'm glad that you are enjoying what you see. It really is just me messing around in my garage like I would be anyway, just with a camera on, lol!
Nice job Everett, beautiful finish work as well. I would suggest getting a thrust bearing to replace the two washers, it might be nice if you get a real stubborn injector body. Also, in my shop I have started to use cold bluing on some of the parts I make just for a different look. Enjoyed the video very much, be well and cheers!
Thanks Howie, hadn't thought about the thrust bearing idea but if the shop ever needs to do another set of Volvo/Mack injectors it's certainly a thought. I have only blued a few tools so far, more out of just not getting to it. Blued up some gun parts a few years ago but my bluing solution has gone bad, might have to get more once the shop is going again.
@@EverettsWorkshop I made one of those scissor jacks for my Harley and it was tough to lift the bike, but adding the thrust bearing made all the difference in the world when the pulling gets heavy. Congrats on the subs and the move and the kids and job, you are probably as busy as you have ever been, just keep the balance between it all and life happens.
I am Impressed at the work you did its amazing job to be able to do all that! i wish i could do that , the kit your using is not original and they suck at pulling the cups out i bouhgt one as well and had same problem you are , oem ones work great but they cost alot! i had to find a way to do it before i bought the tool , so i used the volvo d12 tool where it taps the cup to pull out , i used that on d13 and have no issue pulling them out i put grease on the end and tap it and comes right out!
Thanks Emir, we just had to get the job done one way or another without losing our profit margin on a tool that we won't use often (we mostly see CAT, Cummins, and Detroit engines). Good to know the D12 tool works though, I'll have to look at those to compare.
Lol, I wish - this is a meld of the way CAT and International remove their injectors, so I have a suspicion that the patent is already held. Thank you though!
Usually doing an inside chamfer , you just raise the tool to cheat and get clearance as the radius sometimes interferes with the cutter. I really like the projects Everett gets around to, he is a real innovator and a very skilled hobbyist.
At least the cup installation tool with this kit did work, it has a swaging tool that expands the tip of the injector cup to grab the cylinder head at the bottom. I did not show that part as I was focused more on removal at the time.
@@EverettsWorkshop ok thanks, I was just curious as in Duramax the injector holds tight against bottom taper and sealed with a permatex product. Top has o rings of course.
Thanks for asking this Douglas, I too was wondering about the swaging. And thanks Everett for explains the Volvo too is functional for this purpose. Is the swaging the only thing holding the cup in situ or does the injector clamping arrangement fully secure the injector / cup? Great video and great story from what the problem was to "problem solved". 🇬🇧😂
A portable sand blaster (the type that you stick the hose right into the bag) make a great vaccum when doing that type of work. Cut the hose about 2 feet long and suck the chips out. You can also adapt it down so you can suck fuel and oil out of the cylinders so it doesn’t hydro lock.
Never thought about using a sand blaster, but the shop has one of those air-powered fluid extractor, works on a similar pressure differential idea. As you say, very handy for cleaning liquid schmutz out of cylinders.
Great tool, just what i need right now! Is there a way i could have you lend this to me?! I purchased the other tool you were showing earlier in the video but doesn’t work and now i am stuck!
Good job Everett, how could the toolmaker of the puller ever think that the knurl would bite into the stainles cup and pull it out with the force needed.
Honestly I don't know what the tool manufacturer was thinking, maybe it was an attempt to deal with non-threaded cups. CAT threads theirs, they are so much easier to deal with, and that's the basic premise I used to put this one together.
Hi Everett nice tool you made, better than the "official" tool. Does the new part just fit in with the new injector, I guess the swage part is not important.
Thanks Eric! No, there is a special tool for installation and swaging of the new injector cups after sealant and o-rings are applied. The installation tool is used to swage the end of the cup into the injector hole in the combustion chamber, but at least the commercial tool worked for that part.
Won't you end up with a lot of swarf, from the threading operation, inside the cylinder head? Got the answer near the end of the video :) Impressive that you managed to cut a thread, by hand, with that bit tap. I tried that with a 1 inch tap but could not do it.
Thanks, it only needs a few threads for the tool to grab properly, but yes the stainless is a bit of a workout to get threads into it. As for the little plastic plugs, I'm such a pack rat that I save little cap bits like that. Btw, I used your "scraptonium" term, hope you're ok with it :)
what lathe do you have & is it 3 phase? I've been looking for some time & all I come across is junk or incomplete, I enjoy your vids, learn more watching you than all the others! thanks again
Thank you, I appreciate the kind words, and I'm glad you like the videos. I have a King Canada KC1236ML lathe, it's a pretty run-of-the-mill 12x36 import machine, 240V single phase motor. It's had a few quirks, and still has a couple things I need to sort, but as there is a lack of good used equipment in my area that will fit in a garage, it was the choice I made.
Thanks Yves, thankfully the tool worked well for what it needed to do. We're doing ok, as for the shop just waiting on permits before work can begin. Once they arrive it will be as much time as I can get working on getting the shop set up.
There is a special installation tool that has a swaging pit as part of the tool. From what I understand, the tips are swaged to get a better compression seal to the head but then again I am not sure what the Volvo/Mack engineers think at times . . . lol
Thanks! Yes, I wonder about the quality of that tool manufacturer now, but biting into a piece of stainless would be a challenge even with a good quality tool. Honestly would have been easier if Volvo/Mack would thread their cups from the factory like CAT does!
@@EverettsWorkshop After reading some comments, I bet it won't be long before you see this very tool on the market. I think you should put your contact info (or make a new one for jobs) in the description. Have a with and without tap kit price ready for someone that wants one from you they've already seen work. Not everyone has access to a lathe or able to pay machine shop prices for a one off job.
Nice job - and I see the "no filming at work" rule is less of rule than it used to be. Were the heavily skewed cuts on the blue-painted-steel bar due to holding issues in the bandsaw vice?
Thanks Paul! The no-filming thing wasn't really a rule like Motion came down on Adam Booth with before he quit, but more just trying to be respectful of how when you do a task and video it, it takes 2-3 times as long. When I'm on someone else's dime I don't take that lightly. And the cockeyed bar end was due to holding the short stubby rod in the bandsaw - it wasn't held as square as I thought it was but that's what facing is for, lol!
Chui! How goes, man? I have not had DRO as much of a priority as there have been other things that have come up, but it is on the "someday list" for both the mill and lathe. And, in a modified sense, the shaper, but that is still in the "crazy idea" stage, lol. But yes, at some point. Until then I have had to practice "working the knobs," lol!
Lol, thanks! Thankfully there is a lot of forgiveness on both accounts for this one - the only thing I could see being a hangup with the tap is the cup starting to spin in the bore but at that point you've got it part way loose and it should be easier to pull.
G’day Everett. The original tool had merit but didn’t allow for 200,000ks of engine life holding on, this design appears better, well done making the tool. Looks like the tap needs a large T handle though, I was waiting for you to scrape your knuckles, or was it just the camera angle ?? Cheers Peter
Thanks Peter, the T handle idea is a good one to add to the kit - and you are right, I almost scraped knuckles a few times on the valve springs. An open end wrench/spanner is all I had at the time.
Hi Alex, we still needed the commercial tool for installing and swaging the new cups, so that would still be needed. As far as making more of these, the issue is that I'm not really a commercial outfit and most of my time lately is spent either on work-related or child-related stuff. Thanks for coming by!
I haven't made any actual injector cups, this was just a tool we needed to get a job done for a customer. Not sure why a custom cup itself would be needed, unless you're trying to use other injectors that weren't made for the D13 engine originally?
Thanks Chris, but I can't claim originality to the idea - I really should have mentioned that it's a mix of how CAT and International remove their injector cups. Thankfully it works though!
@@EverettsWorkshop most things are based on previous ideas, an intelligent person knows how to solve problems based on his prior knowledge and some inspiration.
Well, thanks for the compliment, lol, I would make one up for you if you needed it but right now my equipment is sitting on skids in my unfinished new garage. Once the shop is up and running we can see what we can come up with though!
@@richardmondor1360 Hi Richard, it's slowly coming along but no, sadly all my machines and assorted "schtuff" is still in piles in the middle of the floor.

The trick is to stop the lathe after disengaging the half-nuts, preferably BEFORE the thread chasing dial has done a full turn (otherwise, you have to count the turns). Withdraw the threading tool and run the lathe in reverse. Re-engage the half-nuts when the thread chasing dial returns to the number it was on while cutting the thread. This is easiest to remember if you always engage the half-nuts on the same number (say, 1) when cutting metric threads.
You know, I had heard something about that recently (this video was taken last Fall) but have not had a chance to try it yet. That and my new shop is now under construction but when it gets set back up I'm going to try this. A buddy of mine told me about Adam Booth demonstrating it and I will definitely look into it. That would be very handy on this lathe!
@@EverettsWorkshop Sorry, I forgot to mention a crucial point. Don't manually move the carriage while the half-nuts are disengaged. This is the part that requires the most concentration !
Greetings,
I just found your channel. This is the first of your videos I’ve seen.
I’m pleased to have found it, my interests don’t normally include heavy machinery, but I like what I’m seeing.
Your narration is well paced and clear, and the camera work is very good.
I intend to follow you for a while, and check out some of your other videos.
Just thought you’d like to know that my initial impressions are good.
Let’s be careful out there.
Thank you James, I appreciate the kind words. I'm still just a hobbyist, sometimes miss something editing, and even sometimes plain lose footage or mess up focus, but I'm glad that you are enjoying what you see. It really is just me messing around in my garage like I would be anyway, just with a camera on, lol!
Nice job Everett, beautiful finish work as well. I would suggest getting a thrust bearing to replace the two washers, it might be nice if you get a real stubborn injector body. Also, in my shop I have started to use cold bluing on some of the parts I make just for a different look. Enjoyed the video very much, be well and cheers!
Thanks Howie, hadn't thought about the thrust bearing idea but if the shop ever needs to do another set of Volvo/Mack injectors it's certainly a thought. I have only blued a few tools so far, more out of just not getting to it. Blued up some gun parts a few years ago but my bluing solution has gone bad, might have to get more once the shop is going again.
@@EverettsWorkshop I made one of those scissor jacks for my Harley and it was tough to lift the bike, but adding the thrust bearing made all the difference in the world when the pulling gets heavy. Congrats on the subs and the move and the kids and job, you are probably as busy as you have ever been, just keep the balance between it all and life happens.
Very cool very good job
Thank you!
I am Impressed at the work you did its amazing job to be able to do all that! i wish i could do that , the kit your using is not original and they suck at pulling the cups out i bouhgt one as well and had same problem you are , oem ones work great but they cost alot! i had to find a way to do it before i bought the tool , so i used the volvo d12 tool where it taps the cup to pull out , i used that on d13 and have no issue pulling them out i put grease on the end and tap it and comes right out!
Thanks Emir, we just had to get the job done one way or another without losing our profit margin on a tool that we won't use often (we mostly see CAT, Cummins, and Detroit engines). Good to know the D12 tool works though, I'll have to look at those to compare.
Dealing with the same issue using the aftermarket puller. Wish I bit the bullet and bought the oem set after wasting the whole day unsuccessfully.
Patent Pending I hope , Nice job !
Lol, I wish - this is a meld of the way CAT and International remove their injectors, so I have a suspicion that the patent is already held. Thank you though!
Well done.
Thank you!
Nice one!
Thanks Mats, just borrowed the idea from CAT engines, but at least CAT injector cups are already threaded . . .
Is it common to raise the tool height when doing ID chamfers. Very good job enjoy the video and the whole thought process
Usually doing an inside chamfer , you just raise the tool to cheat and get clearance as the radius sometimes interferes with the cutter. I really like the projects Everett gets around to, he is a real innovator and a very skilled hobbyist.
Thanks Kimber, I'm not sure if the raised tool for the small chamfer is a common practice but I just cheat a bit out of laziness sometimes, lol!
Lol, thanks Howie, but I'm just a guy messing around in my garage, like a lot of us, I'm just crazy enough to take footage of my trial and error . . .
well done
Scraptonium, eh? I used to say easy-obtanium or easily-obtanium.
Very nice tool set. Looks like it works well.
Thanks! The term "easily-obtainium" works, I was just thinking of Rolingmetal when filming this one
LOL STEP #1 BUY NEW TOOL. STEP #2 PUT NEW TOOL IN TRASH. STEP#3 MAKE GOOD TOOL . LUV UR VIDS
Lol, thanks Mike! To be fair to the tool company, the installation/swaging tool did work correctly!
weel done ...can you show how to install
Just curious, if cups are swaged in how do you stage new cups?
At least the cup installation tool with this kit did work, it has a swaging tool that expands the tip of the injector cup to grab the cylinder head at the bottom. I did not show that part as I was focused more on removal at the time.
@@EverettsWorkshop ok thanks, I was just curious as in Duramax the injector holds tight against bottom taper and sealed with a permatex product. Top has o rings of course.
Thanks for asking this Douglas, I too was wondering about the swaging. And thanks Everett for explains the Volvo too is functional for this purpose. Is the swaging the only thing holding the cup in situ or does the injector clamping arrangement fully secure the injector / cup? Great video and great story from what the problem was to "problem solved". 🇬🇧😂
@@750VFR Thanks David! The cup tip is swaged, but the clamping force of the injector and its hold down bolt/clamp holds it in place too.
A portable sand blaster (the type that you stick the hose right into the bag) make a great vaccum when doing that type of work. Cut the hose about 2 feet long and suck the chips out. You can also adapt it down so you can suck fuel and oil out of the cylinders so it doesn’t hydro lock.
Never thought about using a sand blaster, but the shop has one of those air-powered fluid extractor, works on a similar pressure differential idea. As you say, very handy for cleaning liquid schmutz out of cylinders.
Another good one!
Thanks man!
Great tool, just what i need right now! Is there a way i could have you lend this to me?! I purchased the other tool you were showing earlier in the video but doesn’t work and now i am stuck!
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Craig!
Good job Everett, how could the toolmaker of the puller ever think that the knurl would bite into the stainles cup and pull it out with the force needed.
Honestly I don't know what the tool manufacturer was thinking, maybe it was an attempt to deal with non-threaded cups. CAT threads theirs, they are so much easier to deal with, and that's the basic premise I used to put this one together.
Thanks for the video.
Thank you for wanting to come by, glad you could enjoy it!
That’s swage new cup in?
This is same tools for D7 volvo?
Hi Everett nice tool you made, better than the "official" tool. Does the new part just fit in with the new injector, I guess the swage part is not important.
Thanks Eric! No, there is a special tool for installation and swaging of the new injector cups after sealant and o-rings are applied. The installation tool is used to swage the end of the cup into the injector hole in the combustion chamber, but at least the commercial tool worked for that part.
Thank you.
Thanks for coming by again Don!
Won't you end up with a lot of swarf, from the threading operation, inside the cylinder head? Got the answer near the end of the video :)
Impressive that you managed to cut a thread, by hand, with that bit tap. I tried that with a 1 inch tap but could not do it.
Thanks, it only needs a few threads for the tool to grab properly, but yes the stainless is a bit of a workout to get threads into it. As for the little plastic plugs, I'm such a pack rat that I save little cap bits like that.
Btw, I used your "scraptonium" term, hope you're ok with it :)
what lathe do you have & is it 3 phase? I've been looking for some time & all I come across is junk or incomplete, I enjoy your vids, learn more watching you than all the others! thanks again
Thank you, I appreciate the kind words, and I'm glad you like the videos. I have a King Canada KC1236ML lathe, it's a pretty run-of-the-mill 12x36 import machine, 240V single phase motor. It's had a few quirks, and still has a couple things I need to sort, but as there is a lack of good used equipment in my area that will fit in a garage, it was the choice I made.
That made the job easy!! Nice one! How is the move going? Hope you and the family are doing well. Cheers
Thanks Yves, thankfully the tool worked well for what it needed to do. We're doing ok, as for the shop just waiting on permits before work can begin. Once they arrive it will be as much time as I can get working on getting the shop set up.
Good video
Thanks Ed!
Does this allow metal from the threading to enter the cylinder chamber?
No, that's where the little plastic plug comes in - I jam one in the injector nozzle hole in the cup and it catches everything in the cup that way.
If the cups are swaged, how do you swage the replaced cups?
And if you do not, why are they swaged in the first place?
There is a special installation tool that has a swaging pit as part of the tool. From what I understand, the tips are swaged to get a better compression seal to the head but then again I am not sure what the Volvo/Mack engineers think at times . . . lol
What side top you use to make the tread in the sleeve thanks
Hi, sorry for the late reply, it's an M30x2 tap that can cut a couple threads into the cup, just enough to grab with the end of the tool
Much better cup removal tool all around. I wonder if the tool mfg. didn't bother to harden the tool after knurling?
Thanks! Yes, I wonder about the quality of that tool manufacturer now, but biting into a piece of stainless would be a challenge even with a good quality tool. Honestly would have been easier if Volvo/Mack would thread their cups from the factory like CAT does!
@@EverettsWorkshop After reading some comments, I bet it won't be long before you see this very tool on the market. I think you should put your contact info (or make a new one for jobs) in the description. Have a with and without tap kit price ready for someone that wants one from you they've already seen work. Not everyone has access to a lathe or able to pay machine shop prices for a one off job.
Nice job - and I see the "no filming at work" rule is less of rule than it used to be.
Were the heavily skewed cuts on the blue-painted-steel bar due to holding issues in the bandsaw vice?
Thanks Paul! The no-filming thing wasn't really a rule like Motion came down on Adam Booth with before he quit, but more just trying to be respectful of how when you do a task and video it, it takes 2-3 times as long. When I'm on someone else's dime I don't take that lightly. And the cockeyed bar end was due to holding the short stubby rod in the bandsaw - it wasn't held as square as I thought it was but that's what facing is for, lol!
When you gonna get a readout on this lathe?
Chui! How goes, man? I have not had DRO as much of a priority as there have been other things that have come up, but it is on the "someday list" for both the mill and lathe. And, in a modified sense, the shaper, but that is still in the "crazy idea" stage, lol. But yes, at some point. Until then I have had to practice "working the knobs," lol!
With my luck, Id break the tap off in the cup..or cut through the cup and ruin the head...(:
NICE tool BUILD JOB!
Lol, thanks! Thankfully there is a lot of forgiveness on both accounts for this one - the only thing I could see being a hangup with the tap is the cup starting to spin in the bore but at that point you've got it part way loose and it should be easier to pull.
G’day Everett. The original tool had merit but didn’t allow for 200,000ks of engine life holding on, this design appears better, well done making the tool. Looks like the tap needs a large T handle though, I was waiting for you to scrape your knuckles, or was it just the camera angle ??
Cheers
Peter
Thanks Peter, the T handle idea is a good one to add to the kit - and you are right, I almost scraped knuckles a few times on the valve springs. An open end wrench/spanner is all I had at the time.
Can you sell this tool and how much?
HI! I NEED THAT TOOL, HOW MUCH IS IT? CAN YOU MAKE ANOTHER ONE?
Hi Alex, we still needed the commercial tool for installing and swaging the new cups, so that would still be needed. As far as making more of these, the issue is that I'm not really a commercial outfit and most of my time lately is spent either on work-related or child-related stuff. Thanks for coming by!
How much would it cost to pay for a custom make injector cup?
I haven't made any actual injector cups, this was just a tool we needed to get a job done for a customer. Not sure why a custom cup itself would be needed, unless you're trying to use other injectors that weren't made for the D13 engine originally?
A sign of intelligence, see a problem and create a solution. 👍
Thanks Chris, but I can't claim originality to the idea - I really should have mentioned that it's a mix of how CAT and International remove their injector cups. Thankfully it works though!
@@EverettsWorkshop most things are based on previous ideas, an intelligent person knows how to solve problems based on his prior knowledge and some inspiration.
That's brilliant!! Now how do i get you to make me one?
Well, thanks for the compliment, lol, I would make one up for you if you needed it but right now my equipment is sitting on skids in my unfinished new garage. Once the shop is up and running we can see what we can come up with though!
@@EverettsWorkshop You set up? I'd like to discuss making one of these for me.
@@richardmondor1360 Hi Richard, it's slowly coming along but no, sadly all my machines and assorted "schtuff" is still in piles in the middle of the floor. Paint's done, trim's almost up, then wiring, then I can finally get machines and shelves set in place. I will hopefully have more progress in the next month and will give updates as it goes. If you shoot me an email at everettsworkshop@gmail.com I'll have your address and we can discuss it further once I have a workshop again. I'm hoping sooner rather than later, lol!
