Most old geezers don't have a couple of crankshaft grinders and plans to use them to modify the stroke on stovebolt crankshafts. Fortunately, I'm not OCD about originality- - - - -a piece of machinery is like an artist's blank canvas to me- - - - -something to showcase some creativity. My 12" Atlas/Craftsman lathe is getting another headstock fitted, on 3" riser blocks and a chain drive 17" faceplate so I can bore out the big ends of stovebolt connecting rods. Machines don't get a case of anxiety tremors if somebody modifies them!
