And the Sunnen hone


I have tried to aquire all I would need to build model engines as this is one of my favorite pasttimes. The mill was new when purchased and the Sharp lathe was next to new. The Harig surface grinder has ball bearing ways and grinds quite well. For the UK guys, my Myford OD grinder was purchased for $500 US without a headstock or tailstock. Making the headstock was quite a challenge but it does grind well. The Enco lathe was purchased from Lloyd Butler's estate. Lloyd built over 100 model engines and is the only 2 time grand champion at Oshkosh, WI. EAA flyin for homebuilt aircraft. The Sunnen hone has served me well and I couldn't do without it. And I thought I'd include a pic of my clean workbench, the other one I use isn't so clean and worthy of a pic. Alot is stuffed into this 20x24 foot shop but it is my home away from home.
