Just used this thread, again. 5twins deserves some kind on an award for this thread. The time and thought and thoroughness that went into it is remarkable. There should be a pay wall attached to the thread, or maybe a PayPal Donate Button that goes to 5twins, or something.

11 X 17 X 15" I saw this at the Handbuilt show a couple of weeks ago. More on the show later. Talked to a couple of the guys. Price is $3,000. They claim that competitors' desktop CNCs start at 5K, plus 1K for the software, so this is half the price. They also say that this is the only...

The metal covers are rare. They are thin, and many just rusted away. There is currently one on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/115616869638 It will probably be a long while before a better deal comes up. I think the wheel looks much better with the cover. The plugs are also rare, and again, I...

Aren't you a little old to be having a mid-life crisis? Or, maybe your planning on living to 150, so this IS your mid life? Or maybe you're entering a second childhood?

Yeah, It'll run three, and two will be duplicated, which is what I want. I've done it while I was wrestling with this. The problem is having one of those monitors in a different room, along with a mouse and keyboard.

This turned out to be a tremendous bust. However, I did manage to waste an awe-inspiring amount of time. I tried to keep the original question simple, but what I really wanted to do was set up a remote computer "work station" in my shop. I wanted a monitor, keyboard, and mouse that would run...

Thanks for looking. I did a lot of looking. Yes, mirroring, which I'd never heard of 2 hours ago, is not what I want.

Good point on not being able to follow on-screen instructions once I pull the cable. However, the monitor only has one HDMI port -- can't have the dongle and the cable both on the monitor at the same time. But, no problem, my TV is also connected to my computer (with a HDMI cable), so I can...

I am somewhat computer dumb, and need help. My "normal" monitor is connected to my "normal" desktop computer with a HDMI cable. Monitor is new, computer is a few years old and runs Windows 10. I see these HDMI wireless display adapter dongles. Do I just pull out the HDMI cable, install the...

You're getting way ahead of your self. Wait until you actually have it in hand before you start rehabilitating it. What's probably going to happen: Use air and a stiff brush to get rid of the bulk of that salt/alumina oxide/whatever it is powder -- most of it will come right out. Soak with...

I'm here to confirm that the barbecue method of removal is a bit of genius. Nothing to it, and for me, it hardly took any time for the boss to fall out by itself. One caveat: I have a permanent pedestal grill with a plumbed-in natural gas supply from the city. The type that uses permanent...

Too soon to be pessimistic if you ask me. Hard to know what's going on from just that pic. If the rest of the wheel is salvageable, I think the speedo drive is probably salvageable too.

Since the head is off, the window for using hydraulics is closed. In the future, I think the thing to do would be to use a bore scope to try to determine which piston is stuck, and then use hydraulics, if that's what you want to do. In my case a bore scope would have easily identified the...

PM sent......

It's a somewhat complicated piece. I don't see how you could make one unless you had another one in hand to take measurements from... and if you had one in hand, you wouldn't need to make one any more.
