Cut my first for me parts. Pretty exciting stuff with the plasma table capabilities.

I just picked this up at a local auction for my place in Texas.
It is identical to the one we have at work. Very dependable units.

Took a bit, but finally got uncles lathe here. Working on cleaning it up. Had covers off, and some of the dro scales removed. Not sure why. Motor powered up w/ authority though. Missing woodruff key for drive pully and looked like he was putting accu-link belts on, found one about the right size. Need to go get another.
Was able to claim a dozen or so carbides, another dozen hss cutters. 2 quick change tool holders, and various measuring tools.
Got a handful of boring bars but no tool holders for those.
2 chucks - 3 jaw and 4 jaw, followers.
And yes, the garage is a mess. It was looking a lot better before the uncle passed and I inherited a bunch of his stuff. Still working on garage.

Here's a cool one. A roll of microfiber towels.
Source for the towels?
Good old amazon. All kinds of colors. I saw them use it on one of those paint channels on YouTube. Paint Society maybe, I can't remember.

Some homebuilt stands for the car. I really need to get a lift ordered.
They cost more than I expected. 12ea 10'x 2x4 at $70 and 3 1/2 boxes of deck screws at $12 per box. They are 18"x10", might be a bit small for the K5 and Silverado.
The lift is great for doing suspension work and all that. But if your using rubber bushings you have to put it back on its own weight to torque everything.
Some stuff that's pretty hard to do, being so low, and how long a torque wrench is lol. These would be perfect.

I was looking at getting some hydraulic lift ones but two sets was a bit much and I'd rather put that towards a 2 post.
What hardware did you use to fasten that cribbing together?
#10 x 2 1/2" deck screws
I'd keep an eye on them, I believe deck screws are hardened and prone to fracturing. Simpson-strongtie makes some actual construction screws that 'shouldn't'.
Decks are active structures, they shouldn't be this brittle.
They should be construction strength
I would be amazed if he cracked any of those #10 deck screws. Those things are stout. I've seen some torture tests online of those. They can hold the weight.
It's shear that I worry about but they should be good for that
Yes the sheer, the cribbing can stand a lot of weight vertically, but if things move around its putting the screws under shear. And there's a reason most framing doesnt allow screws - and sticks to nails instead. I know there are construction screws that are not as hard/brittle.
I'm not saying this is gonna be an issue, just something to watch. I used some cheaper gp screws in a similar use, and so far they're still in there, but have thought about replacing them.
