Enjoying a little time in the shop while waiting on material for two jobs at work. The generator on the 27 tudor Im working on was not working. While I was at it, I rebuilt two other generators for myself. I picked up a Tru-cut armature lathe and a growler but needed a test stand. I borrowed some ideas on the forum and got creative. The belt has yet to come off. Not OSHA approved but works great If I need to use the Tru-cut, I remove the two wingnut and remove the stand. I had to buy two bulb holders for about $7. The rest came from all my junk ( as my wife says). About 50/50 on finding a good armature from old generators.

Your new name..., “DYNO-MAN”!

Hank, you are " The Man "! I bent Hanks ear and asked alot of questions and have him on speed dial for any problems that arise. I met Hank in person and thought his head must be huge with all the knowledge he has. Turns out his heart is huge not his head ! Thanks Hank.

Trying to back on my nice list? Too late brother already sent you the largest chunk of coal I could find! LOL!

I am humbled by your comment All joking aside!

Nice! Looks like something my dad would concoct.

If a person makes a test stand for a T in order to be proper it should be made of “junk”. Pics of my “junk” coil tester.

On my 2021 to-do list, is to make a table/stand for the beautiful 1940's era vintage Craftsman drill press (that my dad passed on to me), out of the spare 1925 T frame that's laying on my back acre. At first glance the frame looks ok, but a closer inspection reveals that it was horribly hacked at some point in its lifetime.

I was going to scrap it, but I'd rather give it some life as a table for this vintage tool. It's about the right age for something that would've been laying around in roughly 1948 when the drill press was new...something that could've been repurposed at the time.
