Back to College ll
I’ve been back to ASU Mid-South. Hanging out, volunteering, helping fix machines. When U operate a machine shop, U need raw rough metal to cut and machine. Around the neighborhood, I see quite a few old beds thrown out. I started stopping and collecting the metal frame rails, now scrap metal. Cheap angle iron.
I had collected a good amount of it. It’s to good to just be scrap.

Shop Entrance
Walked into the shop the other day and saw this display to visiting high school students.
One small piece kinda stood out to me.
The little piece sitting by it self was a medical implant tool I made 15 years ago. Machine shop work can be simple and crude or very complex. I like doing both.

Back to Lathe Repair
Ron torn down the lathe gearbox, turned in a small list of parts to procure. Those parts came in. Ron replaced those broken parts, but the gearbox was still locked up. He had to dig deeper. Lead screw will not turn, gotta dig deeper.
My hat’s off to gearbox mechanic’s/tech’s. Gears, shafts, bearings, seals, spacers, uh, some disassembly and reassembly required.
