Is it my turn? Anything to do with lathes, mills and other shop tools
Not yet.
I still wear a leather apron when I'm making chips
Apron would help... but that won't keep the grease off the walls, floors and ceiling..... sealed bearings will.
... and after that short bit of turning, one of my new Chinese bearings puked it's guts. Crap... shoulda known better.

Sorry your bearing puked!
But I really like your float posts design! 
Pretty slick Jim!
To be fair, someone else on the forum did this not too long ago. Don't remember his name. He did have the advantage of having a watchmakers Lathe though.
Sorry about your bearings. Maybe you need angular contact bearings???
Maybe I just need bearings that cost more than a buck and a half each. 
I think maybe your $$$$ landing gear bushings rejected the cheap bearings like a failed organ transplant. Need to call up Boeing and get some bearings.View attachment 191003

Yeah... a $20,000 jackshaft drivin' a hundred dollar lathe....I think maybe your $$$$ landing gear bushings rejected the cheap bearings like a failed organ transplant. Need to call up Boeing and get some bearings.
Have a look again Fred... there's 4 of 'em.
