Looks like your shop is in the basement, (the window gives it away). Seems you got enough to do some building, can you get what you built around the corner at the top of the steps. lol

You consider a wood lathe adaquat for machining O-ring grooves?
Call me spoiled, but I think that's a dumb idea, considering how sensitive those things are to the depth of your o-ring groove. (ie, off by .01" in depth, and it either doesn't seal well or is twice as hard to move)

most of the older tools are of a much higher quality,and are much more relyable and stronger.I have a 40 somthing year old craftsman drill given to me by my (suprise!!) grandpa.it was his first drill, and that thing is built superbly to anything any company puts out today. Heavy (all steel), but much much more powerful. We were wiring the deck the other day,and my grandpa's new metebo hammer drill (better than almost anything built today) and it could not dril through the concrete,brick,than wood. I brought that drill out from my workshop,and it zipped through it no problem.
