Check Out This Epic Lathe Restoration! This Video Will Inspire You To Find And Restore Some Old Tools!

A couple of months ago we shared a lathe restoration video that had us drooling, so when we saw this new one come up we decided we had to share it as well.

Old tools and equipment are awesome, but sometimes they need a freshen-up to look or perform their best. In the case of old milling machines and lathes, they often work perfect but are cosmetically challenged after decades of use. So how hard is it to restore one so it looks awesome in your shop? I’ve never done it, but I do like watching videos on it so I’ll know what I’m up against when I find the right deal for my own machine.

Video Description:

After over 700 hours of work I have completed my lathe restoration. I am excited to share this video. Enjoy!

TX2K23 Day 1: Mustang Nearly TAKES OUT Lamborghini, 200mph Races, And MORE

It’s that time of year again when everyone converges on Houston Raceway Park for TX2K. 2023 is going to be the last TX2K to be held there, as the track is going to be closing soon. Where will it be in 2024? I’m not sure, but I’m sure they will make that announcement before the end of the event this weekend. This event is known for big performances and unfortunately some big crashes too, as folks try to push their cars to the limits for fame at TX2K. This year started out just like last year, with a crazy crash that involved a Lambo. This time the Lambo was not the crasher, but almost the crashie. Check it out! Video Description: TX2K23 is upon us, which means the fastest street cars from around the United States have gathered to compete for records, trophies, and of course – bragging rights! Last year, we saw an unprecedented amount of wrecks, most of which were Supercars. This year seems to be taking a similar route, however we can’t take away from the insane level of cars that thi...

Helmet Sale: Simpson And Racequip Are On Sale Now! Quit Using A Crap Helmet.

Image
I just got back from Holley’s LSFest West in Las Vegas and the number of people who are racing, or trying to race, wearing crappy helmets, or those that are NOT designed to be used in a car or truck, still blows me away. It gets better all the time, but even so, we need more people to do the right thing for themselves and buy a good helmet. I remember when I got my first helmet that was actually bought for me to use while racing cars. It was awesome. It fit better than anything I’d ever borrowed, and it was mine. I loved it. I have had several helmets since, but regardless of my budget, I’ve always bought a helmet that is specifically made for racing cars and is certified for doing so. Helmets can be expensive, but they don’t have to be. With this new sale coming out of Holley, their Simpson and Racequip brands are both having helmet sales. Yes, a clear-coated carbon fiber helmet is going to be more expensive than a painted one. But from a safety perspective, you can get the same prot...
