I use the Hobbicoafter run oil, myself. Some use trans fluids. I have uses some others,like the snake oil after run. I hear not to use after run in the YS enginesas it damaged their silicon diafram.
I wouldn't saytheir is a direct correlation between lathe use and RC radios. But I'dsay any hand eye coordination would be helpful. This past month has beena learning experience with the micro flyers. Presently I have a Champ andan Ember 1, T-28 and an EXTRA 300 3-D. Also, a BSD Aero Bat. Going from3 to 4 channels is a quick learning experience. Using the right stick toturn on the ground with 3 controls, then you use it with the 4 channels.Yeh, its not turning. Then theres the Ember 1. I built it up off of E-Bayparts. Its DMS (1). I finally got an early DSM 1 radio. I haven't figureout how to reverse throws on that radio. I did for the Bat. Anyways, upsdown, downs up. Then it mixes you up when you switch plans.
Lastsummer I finally tried to fly with a single stick. It was a Brat, an earlyARF .15 to .20. It is a bit squirely on the ground. I finally got it up.It was way out of trim. Usually it flies like a trainer when trimmed though.I couldn't get to the trim levers, and couldn't release the sticks forenough time to find them. I think Grif, also has an ACE MicroPro 800. Ithas an Auto trim. Basically, push a button and the surfaces move in thedirection you are holding the stick(s) in. I wish I had it on that flight.I have some swap meet rescue trainers being put back into flight condition.I'll try the single stick again on one of them.

All old RC guys,,, there's a bunch of folks putting the new spread spectrum tx modules in older equipment. I'll post a group or two,,, or off list,,, whatever works best.

Lathes, RC, Darkrooms, Ham tickets, telescopes. Lots of overlap seen over the years.

Darkrooms,,, RIP :-(

My dad had a darkroom that he and I spent quite a bit of time in. It was
super fun. If I were interested in photography, I'd probably set up one
of my own with the same equipment, which I think he still has.

And I did build my own 6" dobsonian telescope a few years ago. Purchased
mirror(s), not ground myself, but I made pretty much everything else
from scratch.

The new (in the last 10-15 years) thing to do among the younger geeks (I
hope no one here is offended by that term...) is also cooking. There's
all kinds of fancy gadgets you can buy or build for that, like that
weird sous vide thing.

Myself, I bought a couple cast iron pans. I like it old school. That's
why I got the SB as well.

I am 70 now and when I was 13 I built a 36 inch English WWII coastal patrol boat from some plans I found in the center section of a Modelmagazine my older sister got for me. The size of the boat was dictated bythe length of the material I could find to make the keel. Seeing as Ilived up in the coast rangemountains here in Northwest Oregon there was nohobby shops within my reach. So The little store down the road and by theway the only business besides a gas station were I lived. I rummagedaround out back and found a two compartment grapefruit crate. The lengthwas about 36 inches so my boats keel is made from a crate side slat.Stringers and ribs I made from cedar picket fence Itrimmed off thepicket fence in the front yard. Dad always wondered why the fence slatsseam to be getting narrower. Oh and by the way I still have the boat andfigure when I get old I will finish it as its never been completed. Hmmmseams like I have a lot of things that did not get completed.:-(((( I evenhave an RC control for it that must be 25 years old now. Still new in thebox. Priorities change so some things just get left behind.

I think the common denominator with everyone on this groupis we like to build things. Not all the same but some are or have done thesame thing some times during our lives. It seams restoration becomesof interest to us as we age. Must be about seeing things that were brandnew when we were kids and now as we are older we like to go back and see themthe same way again.

Don't know about the younger geeks as my Dad (now 84) raves about his Sous Vide and having recently experienced his cooking have to say it was pretty good. But I just don't have enough interest in food to spend all the time required in various permutations (using the flame torch to add the crust to the sous vide steak, etc). I'm more of the eat to live than live to eat.

But yes, until 2 years ago we had two telescopes, a 10" Celestron and a 6" Meade, both Cassegrain. Donated the large one to the private school where my wife teaches.

During college I also built a darkroom in my bathroom and agree, watching images emerge from the soup was indeed a lot of fun. So was developing a roll of slides and the excitement as they emerged from the can. I have to say though, that with my Nikon equipment, PS5 and LR, the results now are much better - our real problem is wall space. With all the 75 or so matted and framed photos (nothing smaller than 13x19"), and paintings (Mom's a professional artist), it is hard to find a spot for new stuff and hard to 'store' the old stuff to give new room. Buying additional houses is much easier....

Now I really do need to get back to work!! (although this is much more fun....

This resonates with me quite well - I think there is a lot of truth in what you say. I also find I get a lot more joy out of resurrecting something (which was once a good precision item) back to near 'new' condition then buying new. I never forget I have the former but often find I forget the latter.

(To attest to this, I just received a 'professional' polished 15/16" box end wrench (which had to be ordered) for my drill press as I couldn't find how I had adjusted the table previously without one), adjusted the table and then decided that I would hang the wrench near the press so it would be available and I wouldn't face this dilemma again. Looked for a good spot, selected one, moved some stuff to drive a nail into the wall and that's where I discovered its predecessor. My butt still hurts from where I kicked it.) :)

Grif,
Ijust had my MP8K upgraded to Ver. 7 and the plug in module. I bought aSpektrum module for it. I can't get it to bind to the micro flyer bricks.I'll have to email Dan. As for the old radios, some of them do bring somemoney. Mainly, if they have metal gimbals (control stick assemblies) andor single sticks. The ones with the knobs. Also, some old pattern engineswill bring some money. Also, old pattern planes have a following.
Theold radios aren't necessarily illegal to fly. Its that they have to benarrow banded. That was around the late 80's to early 90's. I had two ofmine narrow banded then. One was done by the factory (futaba) and the otherwas done by an independent. It was a Hobby Lobby Radio (Ek-Logitrol). Futabadid the conversion and traded the reciever to a narrow banded FM. It isstill legal to fly and to fly at an AMA field. The Hobby Lobby tranmsiiterwas narrow banded (Gold Stickered). It reciever is still wide band. Legalto use, but not at an AMA field. FCC only controlls radio emmisions, notreceptions. I think some events are 2.4 mHz only. I think some othercountries are restricted to 2.4 only also.
Toa large extent the hobby has gone to what use to be the fringes: electrics,small or even micro planes, large planes, jets, and helicopters.

I use the Hobbico after run oil, myself. Some usetrans fluids. I have uses some others, like the snake oil after run. Ihear not to use after run in the YS engines as it damaged their silicondiafram.
I wouldn't say their is a direct correlation betweenlathe use and RC radios. But I'd say any hand eye coordination would behelpful. This past month has been a learning experience with the microflyers. Presently I have a Champ and an Ember 1, T-28 and an EXTRA 3003-D. Also, a BSD Aero Bat. Going from 3 to 4 channels is a quick learningexperience. Using the right stick to turn on the ground with 3 controls,then you use it with the 4 channels. Yeh, its not turning. Then theresthe Ember 1. I built it up off of E-Bay parts. Its DMS (1). I finally gotan early DSM 1 radio. I haven't figure out how to reverse throws on thatradio. I did for the Bat. Anyways, ups down, downs up. Then it mixes youup when you switch plans.
Last summer I finally tried to fly with a singlestick. It was a Brat, an early ARF .15 to .20. It is a bit squirely onthe ground. I finally got it up. It was way out of trim. Usually it flieslike a trainer when trimmed though. I couldn't get to the trim levers,and couldn't release the sticks for enough time to find them. I think Grif,also has an ACE MicroPro 800. It has an Auto trim. Basically, push a buttonand the surfaces move in the direction you are holding the stick(s) in.I wish I had it on that flight. I have some swap meet rescue trainers beingput back into flight condition. I'll try the single stick again on oneof them.

Dennis,

I totally agree. Machine tools, trains, ex-military vehciles, etc. I started out with plastic models as a kid and graduated to full size trucks

Probably why I went into IT. I find the troubleshooting skills come in handy.

I think the common denominator with everyone on this group is we like to build things. Not all the same but some are or have done the same thing some times during our lives. It seams restoration becomes of interest to us as we age. Must be about seeing things that were brand new when we were kids and now as we are older we like to go back and see them the same way again.

I am 70 now and when I was 13 I built a 36 inch English WW II coastal patrol boat from some plans I found in the center section of a Model magazine my older sister got for me. The size of the boat was dictated by the length of the material I could find to make the keel. Seeing as I lived up in the coast rangemountains here in Northwest Oregon there was no hobby shops within my reach. So The little store down the road and by the way the only business besides a gas station were I lived. I rummaged around out back and found a two compartment grapefruit crate. The length was about 36 inches so my boats keel is made from a crate side slat. Stringers and ribs I made from cedar picket fence Itrimmed off the picket fence in the front yard. Dad always wondered why the fence slats seam to be getting narrower. Oh and by the way I still have the boat and figure when I get old I will finish it as its never been completed. Hmmm seams like I have a lot of things that did not get completed.:-(((( I even have an RC control for it that must be 25 years old now. Still new in the box. Priorities change so some things just get left behind.

My dad had a darkroom that he and I spent quite a bit of time in. It was
super fun. If I were interested in photography, I'd probably set up one
of my own with the same equipment, which I think he still has.
And I did build my own 6" dobsonian telescope a few years ago. Purchased
mirror(s), not ground myself, but I made pretty much everything else
from scratch.
The new (in the last 10-15 years) thing to do among the younger geeks (I
hope no one here is offended by that term...) is also cooking. There's
all kinds of fancy gadgets you can buy or build for that, like that
weird sous vide thing.
Myself, I bought a couple cast iron pans. I like it old school. That's
why I got the SB as well.

Not sure I would use that. When heated Flaxseed oil turns into Linseed oil which is not good for humans.

Hmm, my boss is I don't know how old, much younger, but he has a 40 foot English WWII seaplane tender in his garage waiting for him to find time to get back to the restoration - he hasn't done anything to it the 6 years I've worked for him although his wife was working on it not that long before it got moved into the garage. Of course before he can start work he needs to finish the garage, put a front on it, rebuild the garage extension the right way up (when he was away someone else tackled the building work but misunderstood his plans and put the higher strength blocks at the top....), put a back on it and finish the roof BUT before that he needs to lower a drain pipe from the house and sort out the levels of the drive and the garage floor (yes the boat is on it), BUT, before that he will need to rebuild the porch, well you get the idea by now. He works 25 hours a day like most small businessmen, I can't see when he will get started on it again :(

He has a connection with a lot of the WWII coastal patrol boats and torpedo boats, his grandfather was a senior designer involved with them.

For myself, no RC planes some free flight and control line planes around somewhere waiting for me to find time to get back to them. I do have an RC airboat but never really found anywhere to use it so have no idea if it is even stable - I think it has a reasonable size glow engine and prop, slightly concerned it might just flip over under power! That engine will be gummed up solid with castor oil after all these years, in fact they all will be!

I'm surprised there aren't more railway modellers here, as a kid I always wanted a lathe so I could build locos - boiler, firebox, smokebox, chimney, axles, wheels etc. I only modelled in OO/HO but I'd have thought the larger scale live steam guys would feature more in these communities?

Olive Oil. Used for years. Heart healthy; reduces bad cholesterol. Gleaming, deep black glossy seasoning that doesn't turn rancid. Never scrub with scouring pans. We love cast iron and have done this for years. The ultimate is to cook with cast iron on our old antique blue enamel and nickel trim 100 y/o wood cook stove!

I should post our great collection of live steam photos. Haven't built one ourselves but were a member of a club (great layout in South Holland, IL). One guy had a 1/6 scale fully articulated utterly scale 4-8-8-4 Big Boy! Caked with fly ash, grease, oil and steam stains, both pop off valves blasting into the air, blowing out the water from the cylinders, mighty coal filled tender... Unbelievable. The items out of scale were the humans...

Someday we WILL build one. Meanwhile back to the day to day routine...

Seeing as I lived up in the coast range mountains here in Northwest Oregon there was no hobby shops within my reach. So The little store down the road and by the way the only business besides a gas station were I lived. I rummaged around out back and found a two compartment grapefruit crate. The length was about 36 inches so my boats keel is made from a crate side slat. Stringers and ribs I made from cedar picket fence I trimmed off the picket fence in the front yard. Dad always wondered why the fence slats seam to be getting narrower. Oh and by the way I still have the boat and figure when I get old I will finish it as its never been completed. Hmmm seams like I have a lot of things that did not get completed.:-(((( I even have an RC control for it that must be 25 years old now. Still new in the box. Priorities change so some things just get left behind.

This past month has been a learning experience with the micro flyers. Presently I have a Champ and an Ember 1, T-28 and an EXTRA 300 3-D. Also, a BSD Aero Bat. Going from 3 to 4 channels is a quick learning experience. Using the right stick to turn on the ground with 3 controls, then you use it with the 4 channels. Yeh, its not turning. Then theres the Ember 1. I built it up off of E-Bay parts. Its DMS (1). I finally got an early DSM 1 radio. I haven't figure out how to reverse throws on that radio. I did for the Bat. Anyways, ups down, downs up. Then it mixes you up when you switch plans.
> Last summer I finally tried to fly with a single stick. It was a Brat, an early ARF .15 to .20. It is a bit squirely on the ground. I finally got it up. It was way out of trim. Usually it flies like a trainer when trimmed though. I couldn't get to the trim levers, and couldn't release the sticks for enough time to find them. I think Grif, also has an ACE MicroPro 800. It has an Auto trim. Basically, push a button and the surfaces move in the direction you are holding the stick(s) in. I wish I had it on that flight. I have some swap meet rescue trainers being put back into flight condition. I'll try the single stick again on one of them.

Interesting that there have now been quite a few mentions from various members of their parallel interests in airplane modeling, something I've been doing for >40 years. Is there some inherent 'hind-brain' connection between model airplanes and lathes/machinery? One wonders!

Try Walnut oil. Its available in the organics section of super Markets. High boiling point so it doesn't smoke much if at all. -jim stack

Mineral oil, it does not sour, and it is good for you.

I just used corn oil at the beginning...and had a lot of trouble with
sticking. However, I cook greasy foods in the pans (cheese and bacon,
mostly) and they seem to have seasoned themselves so now I have very
little trouble.

I'm usually cooking these foods in the oven (which is why I like a 100%
cast iron pan, not something with plastic handles). When I take the food
out, I return the pan to the cooling oven, helping to keep it seasoned.
