There is nothing upstairs,yes I do have a planer big enough to plane that piece of teak and Frank is right , the name Honeys Diner was put on for a movie the real name was The Pines Cafe.
Now to the shop-on the right side of the big band saw on the east wall is the junk bench,there is a double grinder there for lathe tools,a buffer,a little metal vise an anvil and lots of junk-
next to the junk bench is my lathe-it's an old Fay and Scott pattern-makers lathe,the bed is 10ft. the swing is 18" the pulley system was put on by me-a friend turned the 4 step pulley on the spindle, the grooves are a 1/8" bigger than the matching pulley on the jack shaft so the speeds don't repeat- this old lathe was made around the late eighteen,are early nineteen hundreds-
I don't do much turning,I use the lathe more for my red-neck rigged mortiser - The red-neck rigged mortiser is very simple,for an adjustable table I took an old wood vise turned it upside down and bolted it to the lathe, I added a second nut to lock it down, ( I have a way to make fine adjustments) the router has stops both forward and side to side--the trouble with all horizontal mortisers is the work is on the wrong side and you have to bend your head over to see what your doing,so I turned it around---works perfect--
showing the second nut
more to come--next the big enchilada-
