      I think the media and internet twist our view on the young generation. the internet is full of sites dictated to "makers" it is one of tha largest and fastest growing communities.
      trouble is the kids involved in it are hidden, we see the gangs hanging out on the street corners, not the ones building a knife in their dads shed.

    If you don't got it. Get The machinery Handbook. It's more valuable then you'd expect, considering it seems your less comfortable with the machining side of things.
    Also surface grinders have every grit you can imagine I've never heard of it being switched to belt and I'm surprised you aren't more inclined to get a tool cutter grinder, you could use that as a surface grinder as well as use the various vices to get very cool shapes and angles you couldn't get otherwise. Also you can sharpen lathe and mill tools obviously as the name implies or even shape carbide.

    A note on that motor, The rpm is technically the same, motors come in a fixed amout of speeds due to the 60hz of the power. the amount of poles a motor has determines the speed and the rpm on the motor you have is likely the no load speed where as the origional listed the load rpm. Great job will, love your videos. I used to live in spokane now im in NY

    Speaking of a surface grinder, my grandson and I started making him a large sword out of a chunk of 1/4" flat stock I had laying around. Someone had been using it as a floor scraper, I think. I wanted to put a fuller down the middle of the blade, but am very limited in the tools I have at hand, so I was trying to figure out a way to get a nice, clean, straight cut with an angle grinder. The solution I came up with came in the form of a two-drawer, chromed, heavy wire insert for kitchen cabinets, that a neighbor had given me. The unit is pretty heavy, with good, smooth, roller-bearing drawer slides. I was able to clamp the angle grinder so the disk was protruding down through the top drawer, with the sword clamped to the top of the bottom drawer. By using thin spacers under the sword, and the travel of both drawers, I was able to grind a perfect grove the entire length of the 3' + blade. I think with some creative clamping, I'll be able to flatten it and grind the primary bevels as well. It's not a 3 ton chunk of cast iron, but with some bracing, it does a surprisingly good job. Sure beats weeks worth of hand-filing, or the butcher-job I'd make of trying to free-hand with a grinder. Love and envy your old iron, and your passion. Keep up the good work.

    Finish the pistol and then forge a Tudor style cannon to go with it. Yes, the English in the Tudor era forged their cannons instead of casting them. They were smaller and couldn't take as large of a charge, but they were cheaper and I think you could forge a small one very easily. Something smaller than what is historically accurate, but it is for firing off blanks for fun, not going to war with the French and Spanish.

    I recently got a 16inch swing- 72inch bed 1940's south bend lathe. i got it in working condition at a machine shop closing auction for $300. It also came with a massive boring setup that weighs at least 300lbs. The owner of the shop personally sourced the lathe by himself at 14 years old in 1943. they made bearing washers for aircraft during WWII. I still haven't run it because it isnt moved to its permanent place and we dont have 3phase in the garage.
