A package came for me from McMaster-Carr,

And another one from an eBay seller


And now the lathe is all ready to roll, so I finished up adjusting the gear train


double checked that everything turns smoothly, and


got back to cleaning things up. I want to make sure that everything is safe, nothing is going to surprise me or trip me or anything like that before I hit the start lever.

Which I did. It needs some adjustments, here and there, but she runs!


What I should have done, is film a video. Never done that, but there is a first for everything.

Yep trimming some bushes that tend to get in the way mowing as summer goes on.

No batteries needed for the win.
Also not made of chinezium for the bigger win.

I have a Ryobi I got from Home Depot almost 25 years ago, still does the job great.  I was offered a corded Milwaukee for $15 last summer. In like new condition, couldn't say no to that.  Plastic case and all.

Really looking forward to it!

Been doing some of that myself to finish last falls supply of firewood. I love the outdoor fire ring and a cold one!

Score! Everyone needs one, or two, or three! I have a Milwaukee with a pooped out switch a corded Makita too cheap to pass from the restore, and the one I grab first anymore, an 18V cordless Ryobi. If the Ryobi won't get it done corded is always ready to finish the job!

I got one just like it...Great saw!!!
