Tore down the rear diff in my truck. It was getting a little noisy...found a carrier bearing going bad and some pitting in the pinion bearing races. Time for some new bearings. Not bad for 150k miles

A little project I helped a buddy with, our beloved Diamonds Billiards Club closed down after 25 years, and my friend, the GM, decided he now needed a bar in his garage. He used to have some ikea type thing years ago we affectionately nicknamed "McKnuckle's Pub" as he is also an MMA/UFC Coach, so the blending of those two themes for McKnuckles Pub inspired this bar top. Same vinyl I do the cornhole boards with, and then a two part epoxy (like the counter top videos) done over it to protect the whole deal. For my first time with epoxy and no decent lighting in there at the time, I am pretty happy how it came out.

The largest diameter steam turbine rotor ever built. We are rebladeing it. There are 148 blades each held in with nine 5/8th pins. It's no picnic.

What is the rotor diameter?

 

[707dog]

The last week got the Rearend, fuel system, brakes installed and engine/transmission in the hole not bad for a few days work... alot still to do but positive progress is better than none

 

[Rajobigguy]

What is the rotor diameter?

It's fn huge. I'll get back to you on the actual dia. but I know that the GE x-compound 320 were sort of experiment to find the limits of how large a low pressure rotor could be made. Like I said I'll look up the actual dia. tomorrow but the thing weighs 189,842 lbs.

Tired of breakin' things - workin' on retirement.

It’s difficult to get a feel for the scale of this thing in a picture but I tried

 

[Rajobigguy]

Wait till you see it in action when we balance it spinning several hundred RPM on just on those rollers.

Size of the worker really puts it into perspective, wow. Got a chuckle out of the maze of extension cords and pneumatic hoses, another wow
Saw those and thought of this

Did you get it back together?

 

[scottchbrite]

Our house is done enough that I got the go ahead to build the shop. A little more grading, retaining walls, and drainage, then we’ll get the walls going up.

 

[82daytona]

Still working on this POS too.

 

[Andy B.]

About to tackle changing my gaskets on my emi riser exhaust any helpful hints before I start?
The guy that did it last time used an automotive type gasket I'm getting one made for marine application hopefully won't have problem again.

This got put on the back burner but the engine is rebuilt and back in the boat. Waiting for a few parts then I’ll be able to get it going.

That is my first car. 57 Nomad. It’s pretty much done. Needs a few things to make it 100%. Got it from the 1st owner in CO years ago. It is an all numbers matching car.
