turning

A lot of us don't have time for political or chess on world scale and that's fine except when a hijacked vehicle is going to run most of you over and I would probably throw myself in front to save. Sxxt , noble, nothing. Let it happen and then scrawl "noble" on hundreds of thousands of gra...

lathe people making

I read this thread and don't like it. This "pooh bear" is a panda. It is all too easy for me to disregard inaccuracies and the fact that gifted individuals recite and develope concerned response to an entity which appears near cutting edge once and then later a novice. Something doesn't fl...

machinery

These are very nice machines. the VN22 was a topic of some research done years ago. The Hendey is one of the later and a good lathe the DP is rare. Now the transport is a topic in itself. The placement another. The wiring another. That is all good stuff. More than stuff , the machines and you gettin...

Wading into. The origional worked well. Tell us the diameters some have them you could get for shipping. Now there is an option since you suggested needle.

Crawling, simply crawling back into this. We never forget Lance Weil. -or do I ? Perhaps by his untimely accident many here read his and others' accounts. Perhaps then there is some salvage .some way to balance this. If a 100,000 or 20 persons (guys,99.9%) save their eyes or arms or God Bless Americ...

lathe height

That sounds about right.I'm curious about the plastic. This is to be mated directly to cement floor right?. Yes of course you don't want these strips integral to the floor if you sell i suppose. I'm not quibbling about some mil of plastic thickness. I'm thinking if you are on bare cement and pour th...

leveling mounts

Yes and no. They are okay but once you crank them 2" No. it's the same situation. you need a spacer or just don't be tall. So it's heart pine or pt lumber or concrete for the larger. Look this just makes some sense anyway. Forget my opinion. Way back when they made the machine they tested it fo...

foldovers

I thought you were talking oil filters. I wouldn't last a minute as a bluegill.I'm actually digesting this bait. When using cheap filters which may fold just drop another one on top the coffee.There are baskets too.Man I was going to cure cancer and you took up my time.

dog poop milrite

Maj you are covering old ground and watch your step. We can't shoot a dog. We certainly can't shoot an owner. Ah yes, shoot them by camera. Well Auntie got it right. I don't know how she did it but that has got to be the best message. We gotta watch these Aunts they are serious clever.

used to be poop

There are ways and there is what I and you all forsee and up to us to prevent a situation. The proble...
