The Home Machinist!

May be too early to reply. Ed. You have the heart to do this and many more people should. Be prepared for the onslaught of sticky labels and things. It actually diminishes an ordinary way of contributions. Over the phone or by check, it gets around . We have to do that which is correct. We don't nee...

"Velocity" is the word.

Oh heck, Ed. In the middle of the night or early morning, we post stuff. Wish it never happened sometimes.

Man. I liked the project from the beginning. I don't have to mention anything anymore.

Twenty First century is banging at the door..

Better than a tether and very cool. I appreciate showing the chain to us. You know it can't go on this way and you will need some chain guard. All kinds of surface particles will get into your rollers. Brilliant work!
