Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Places with bearing on opposite ends including pump shafts for example; so the impeller runs true to bearings along with that.

 

He suggested threading both pieces and screwing it together. I said it won't line up, he said I know. I said the biggest challenge is holding it. He said can you build a fixture?

Is it worth that much

 

The only lasting way I can think of would be to turn a thin, brass sleeve just large enough for both ends of the 'stem' to slide in to, and then fill with epoxy and cross pin it. The contact area at the break is too small, IMHO, to make epoxy on its own, reliable.

 

I agree, it's too small for just epoxy, and it's very top heavy.

Re: Poll

Yard gets trimmed after I mow...although with the new place it looks like a fair amount of trimming will need to happen before hand to get it squared away. Back yard is a little overgrown in some spots and the front hedges need to be trimmed back something fierce.

 

That'll be a weird one to get a grip on. You could temporarily epoxy them back together and then drill from the bottom all the way up onto the main body where it gets thicker. Then do a ridiculously long tap and run a length of all-thread or the like up through it with Locktite.
Depending on what the base looks like I suppose.

 

Must be important to him.

 

He handed me a card, he is a polisher. I'm not sure if he broke it or it came to him broke. I'm assuming the first but not sure.

 

Prob find a replacement at Goodwill...

 

Possibly

I understand the individual words, but I have no idea what this means all put together in this order...maybe explain like we're 5 for those of us with no lathe knowledge/experience?

 

When your using live centers in both ends!

The only way you can turn your piece

 

Windoors is the way. Mine had some spider cracking when I got mine around the rack mounting holes. That one is nice.

 

Omg yes. Paralyzers I call them. Couldn’t move your hand for an hour after you were done with them

 

I wish mine had windoors. But I added a bed slide and that was the best thing I have done.
