Anouncement - Shaper CD

Post by John_Stevenson »

Just a heads up guys, nothing to do with me but I feel the following post will be of interest to many.

***********************
I have been adding information to my Shaper CD and am finally ready to
announce the new greatly expanded version.

Cost is now $10.00, mostly due to the vast amount of time invested in
scanning. Payment of cash, money order or personal check may be sent
to

Errol Groff
180 Middle Road
Preston, CT 06365 8206

PayPal is also welcome to errol.groff@snet.net

No extra charge shipping to Canada (eh) or other international
addresses.

What does your $10.00 get you? Here is the list of contents:

The CD has been greatly expanded since I started it. In addition to
the shaper information here is a listing of the contents. The total
contents are now about 400 meg. If you decide to order the CD and

If there was only one way to do each machining job, the smell of sulphurized cutting oil smoke would have fewer fond memories.

Likewise, I just got mine this weekend. I paid by paypal and got it in just a few days. I, too, will be reading this for some time yet.

I, too, add my thanks. And my recently acquired, and still under repair, Atlas 7B also will appreciate this!

I also got a CD. It is really useful as I have a BP and SB Lathes which must be cared for and fed. (I certainly plan on feeding my son's old straight-6 engine block to the BP if he won't move it :>).

I also went to Errol's site http://pages.cthome.net/errol.groff/ and was thoroughly impressed... nothing like that in my HS!!

Thanks again... great CD....

John Stevenson passed away a couple of years ago and I'm unsure if his son took over the small parts and information business John had for various items. About all I can suggest is doing a few different searches on U.K. Ebay to see if it's still available.

Yes, and Errol ( a dear friend ) passed away about 3 years ago.
You might try the New England Model Engineering Society to se if someone there can help.
Errol was a member and was secretary I believe .
