Posted - 03/21/2014 : 8:07:43 PM Just thought I would do a new thread on the Machine Shop I'm building. In between the glue & paint drying on the mill.
First up is the Sierra West Bolt Cutter.
And thanks to Brett for making these casting so clean. Also some really good instructions on doing these.
Not sure which one I'll do next.



Note. Don't know why the handles look so red there not. Comments welcome. |

But the machine will be part of the diorama. |

Posted - 12/11/2019 : 10:08:05 AM Beautiful work Jerry. Did you get the chain for the Fordson yet? I am wondering if I need to search further or not.

Posted - 12/11/2019 : 10:02:50 AM Very nice Jerry. 
Mike, perhaps Wild Western Models, that bought WSM out, will offer these in HO scale someday. Their website is vague about that...... |

Posted - 12/11/2019 : 08:20:21 AM Beautiful machine. I’m envious of the machines available in O scale. You did a fine job.

Posted - 12/11/2019 : 01:09:23 AM Pretty sweet Jerry, I wonder how they mounted a tool holder for the lower spindle, unless they use it to only cut tapers? Are you going to have a lineshaft in the machine shop? Is the shop going to have a Grand Opening before beach season starts?

Posted - 12/11/2019 : 12:12:38 AM Not sure if I'm going to use this in the machine shop or not. But just thought you might like to see what I was working on.
