.........................................Metal Working Projects Index

Late in 2003 I bought a Harbor Freight 12" X 36" metal lathe (Harbor Freight #33274) and an Enco Model 105-1145 21" Swing, Geared-Head Mill/Drill. Enco and Grizzly both sell what appears to be the same lathe as the Harbor Freight lathe and Harbor Freight and Grizzly also seem to sell the same mill/drill as the Enco one I purchased. These are Chinese made products.

The following are metal working projects that I have done using the above mill/drill and lathe. I'm just a beginner at using these, but I thought maybe some of what I've done might help someone else.

If you have any feedback or suggestions just e-mail me.

c ya, Sum
