    What’s a wheat pennie’s value?

    If one just has to know the fiat equivalent, there are roughly 142 pre-1982 all copper pennies to a lb. check on the spot price for copper (usually in lbs) and divide it by 142. At today's spot price, $3.83/lb 1 wheat penny comes in at $.0270 $/lb. Melt value will be much less.

  11. Metal Lathe Questions

    Yes: If it is the commercial model, 1/2" thick bed-ways it is worth more than the home-shop model with 3/8 thick bed-ways. Almost anything on a metal lathe can be economically repaired, one major exception being the bed. Check the wear and run-out close to the headstock. For this model, the...

    I’m not a painter by all means, but…

    Is that 5.49 time for a 1/4 mile? Someone told me that they now race only 1/8th mile as the rails got so fast they would become airborne. Last time I attended a drag race was in the early 60's.

  17. Anyone into Silver Dollars?

    If it came from the middle east, it was originally priced by putting it on a scale a weighing it. There will be one price for muslims, and another for infidels. The workmanship means very little.

    Do you know if there are any other gubmint requirements, like latch or locking device, etc? Thanks, Moose

  19. Woodworking Materials

    it is good workmanship, but hardly awesome except for the inherent beauty in even the most blase' of woods. I never made one that was so bad it wouldn't burn.

  20. Woodworking Materials

    Hi! my name is Moose and I am a wood-o-holic. I can't throw away even the smallest scrap. I make these canisters out of scraps by beveling the sides of appropriately sized pieces and gluing them up like the staves in a barrel, turn it round inside and out, add a top, bottom, and knob...
