    Finally made a part on the lathe. I've only been playing with speeds and feeds up to this point. Still learning!! I made a new knob for the tailstock lock. Not fancy, but functional !

    Resurrection U Can Do 60 Repair

    Finally found some time to get back to the U Can Do. I built a jig for hinging the elevators, added some extra material for the hinges, and got started on some sanding.
