The Craftsman lathe with Reeves drive was freed again this evening. I would think as much as I keep sanding on it, there would have to be running clearance before long! Tried graphite for lube the last six or eight times but if I turn every day or two I might get twenty or thirty hours between teardowns. If the drive sits on my open back porch with a tarp over it a few weeks without being used it is almost a given it will jam.
I put it together with some thick nasty moly wheel bearing grease this time. Concerned about the dust issue but so far it isn't getting enough running hours on it to get dusty!
Need some pieces ready for a weekend sale the first weekend of November. Maybe a dozen just need a little sanding and finish or are ready but I'd like to have six or eight more pieces. The sale is kind of a long shot, it is part of what they call a fifteen mile yard sale. Will have the work at my sister's antique shop so at least some of the people stopping in are expecting to finds stuff at more than junk prices but I'll have to see how it goes. If nothing else I should get some comments and feedback.
