    There used to be a place in So Cal, called Pinnacle Peak, they served up a steak that was bigger than the plate, with Beans, if you wore a tie in there they would cut it off, and display the ragged end on the ceiling, along with your business card. This place reminds of that.

    • @drkskyes
      @drkskyes 2 місяці тому

      Are you sure you're not thinking about North of Scottsdale, AZ? And if you ordered a steak well done they brought you an boot. Used to live in Phoenix upon return from Vietnam War and went there whenever we had visitors from out of town.

  • @machinist7230
    @machinist7230 Рік тому +28

    Machinist here, thats a center, either "live" or "dead". Live centers have ball bearing heads and spin freely. Dead centers are solid one piece construction. It may be worth some $$$, if it's made by a reputable brand like Hardinge or Royal. Hope this helps. 👍

That with a complement of strategically placed Claymore mines you'd be set. 21bravo club...

    @Wonderhussy @AstroVanTribe at 26:54 its called a live center for a lathe . Depending on the brand and type it can cost between 100 and over a $1000 Since it looks like it's in the box it came in you could look up the model and find out what they go for. The headers also depending on the brand and type it can cost between 200 and 500. That welder looked sweet. I can see it's a Century but I cant tell what type. Tungsten inert gas "TIG" go for the most money usually.
