I am very slowly learning that I can get away with quite bad #lathe crimes and still get good results. Look at that mirror finish! Lovely stuff.

Please ignore the charred milling bit. That is less lovely.

The 5,000-Year-Old 'Power Tools' That Shouldn't Exist 🏺 Was Ancient Egypt High-Tech? The Smoking Gun Mainstream History Ignores Ever felt like the 'official' story of the Pyramids just... doesn't add up? 🧐 If you've been told that millions of tons of precision-cut granite were shaped using nothing but copper saws and sand, you’re being sold a fairy tale. Stick with us until the end, because we are revealing the evidence that proves the history books might need a complete rewrite. In this episode, we’re peeling back the layers of Ancient Egyptian technology to expose the lost high technology that continues to baffle modern-day engineers. We aren’t just talking about big rocks; we’re talking about mathematical tolerances so tight they rival 21st-century aerospace engineering. ✈️ The math simply isn't mathing, and the artifacts left behind are the 'smoking gun' that mainstream archaeology can't explain away. Here’s the mind-bending reality we’re digging into: - 🔍 The Petrie Evidence: Why the legendary Sir Flinders Petrie discovered drill marks in solid granite that suggest the use of advanced machinery and high-speed circular saws. - 🛠️ The Copper Tool Myth: Why modern attempts to replicate these feats using primitive tools have been an embarrassing failure. - 📐 Impossible Precision: How ancient masons achieved perfectly flat surfaces on massive granite artifacts that would challenge even the most sophisticated modern CNC machines. - 👽 The Great Debate: Is this proof of a forgotten high-tech civilization, or is it time to consider even more 'out-of-this-world' theories? Whether you're a fan of hidden history, a skeptic of the status quo, or just someone who loves a good archaeological mystery, this episode is your rabbit hole into the unknown. We’re questioning everything because, quite frankly, the ancient stone boxes and drill cores don't lie. 🗿 Are we the most advanced civilization to ever walk the Earth, or are we just suffering from collective amnesia? ✨ Join the hunt for the truth!

Working had behind the scenes to bring steam back to the rails!

The Polson 70's 1472 inspection is moving right along and Porter 5's firebox is looking better than ever with new patches welded in place.

I got a cheap Aliexpress DRO and installed it onto my new lathe! It all went pretty well! I cadded up some brackets in #freecad

Drilling holes into the cast iron bits of my lathe was fairly terrifying, but being able to measure cuts down to 0.005mm without reaching for the calipers is extremely […]

Refurbished a worn lathe collet chuck using slurry wet blasting.
Removed oxidation. Restored surface finish. No impact to geometry.
