So, the lathe, and both glue presses are now outside and ready for anyone interested to pick them up. Call me at (518) 819-6994 if interested. All are free for the taking right now. In a week I will disassemble for the wood or burn them.

We lost Trinity, one of our sheep that was very old and was having trouble getting up and down and around. She passed yesterday and returned back to the earth last evening. She is in a far better place now. On a brighter note...Chester regained his flat in the barn. He is a lucky bird of at least 12 years of age because he has a penthouse overlooking the interior of the barn, the flat (paddock in the corner of the barn) and an outside courtyard. He is the Icon of the farm.

I finished up the pancake compressor yesterday as soon as the repair part arrived. I was able to clean and smooth up the intake and locking valves but the check valve was beyond saving. When I was done, it worked like a new one making the customer very happy.

So, remember when you could take something you used often to a repairman who would repair it for you rather than have you throw it away and be forced to go buy another one? Remember when people repaired things and companies didn't make things disposable? Well, I saw a real need for someone to repair small appliances, hand tools, lamps, and many other items for people who don't always want to send everything to a landfill only to lay out lots of cash to buy a replacement when their item could be repaired for a fraction of the cost. Bring you item to me and let me evaluate repairs, if possible and the cost of doing so. If the item is un-repairable, there is no cost to you for the service of checking it.
How can I do this when others can't? I am retired and offer my expertise as a public service to my community, neighbors, and friends...not to make a living, so unlike someone who has to pay rent on a building and make a clear profit, I can do things such as this for a very low and reasonable price. I look forward to repairing you items throughout the winter months and saving you money.

I had the pancake compressor all apart last night and repaired the intake and exhaust plate valves and checked the rings and cylinder of the piston. I had to order parts including a check valve that rusted badly. I will be stocking some parts for these compressors because they are used by almost every do-it-yourself who uses air tools.

Here is a better link to my website for carding cloth, a tabletop carder/blending board, and a blending brush...
