Ahhhhhh I see now. Sorry mate I'm a bit slow today.
We are judging the value of all Machines based on what one person has paid for one type of machine. God that makes life sooooooooo much easier. I can basically put a low value on anything now and tell everyone, everything they've ever bought is pretty much worthless because there is bound to be someone out there that has bought something better for less. Wow!!! I've read some Corkers in my 3 year membership.

Back to the originalMine are in a sealed plastic bag covered in oil, although I am thinking of upgrading to a take-away container
Hmm..... now odd numbers in a Jalfrezi tray and evens in the ice cream tray.. now that sounds like a plan. (edit) hang on, needs to be a new ice cream tray to make this work out.

This is why I'm making a rack. The currently finished changewheels:
The changewheels which are still drying:
Plus, there are a few still soaking in paraffin and then some out in the electrolysis vat. I may have misgauged the amount. Probably closer to the 60 than 50 mark. Having those on pegs rather than shoved in boxes will make it easier for selecting them, and won't take up shelf or drawer space. Will need to find some free wall space though.

A couple of rods, sticking out of the wall, does for me. My Myford wheels are just stuck on there at the side of the lathe. But I've only got a dozen or so.... seems to be enough for everything I've needed so far though.
I'd love to have the spare wall space to have a changewheel shadow-board!

Aye, that stand goes upright and than the gears slide in. That has some big gears.

There's just so many with mine because a lot are duplicate sizes. That's the collection from several machines. I'm going to have fun finding some free wall space too.
Better than having them buried in boxes everywhere though. There's still one partial set which I haven't managed to find yet due to, (hopefully ), being buried in a box somewhere.

Yeah a big old machine. The listing reads 'great man cave bar conversion possible'. Even though its old and probably not too usable, I still find that demise sad. Hate machines as furniture!

I think I'll miss out stage one and go straight to the upgrade.Back to the original
I am feeling guilty now, all I did was a quick tooth brushing with WD to remove the hardened grot, dried them off with a rag then a wipe over with some GTX.

Not fond of the furniture "creaters" myself, either. Steampunk references are another thing which annoy the crap out of me.

£5000? !!!
Right I'm going to cut my Chester lathe/mill in half and make some chairs or coffee tables. The plebs that buy this sort of stuff won't know its a Chinesium copy....
There was an item on daytime telly the other day, they made a robot ornament sculpture thing, its head was an upturned AVO 7 - I know they aren't much use today but it still offended me

I figure the best way to stor the change wheels is on the wall behind the lathe, in order of size. I know if I make a box or something that I store in a cabinet or somesuch I'll get sloppy. I won't put the box back, I will leave gears out at the lathe because I think I will use them soon anyway, it will degrade over time into a mess. Best to have a dedicated space within arms reach of the gear box so I just hang it back on it's dedicated place without any additional effort.
Always factor in my own laziness.
