Oh…. I guess that demonstrates… I really don’t look at the sig very often

One of my favorite sayings is, "Normal people are boring!"

They're called "dull normal". For a reason.

Fuck Fauxbook.

www.practicalmachinist.com - probably the best knowledge base on the net for this sort of stuff.

There's a sub-forum dedicated to South Bend lathes.

Or www.lathes.co.uk - Tony has a truly vast array of data on all sorts of machine tools. And sells manuals at eye-watering prices, but sometimes he's the only source, so - shrug. I've bought off of him, always a decent product but exxxy.

FKT

that "practical machinist" site is a beauty, thanks for that now to figure out what the fuck this isuzu is

Wow!! I gotta fix that. I knew the sig linked to the http://schrothfiberglass/Easter.htm page but I didn’t realize the Easter Page doesn’t have a link to “home.”

In fact, there is a link to my very old Laser general info page but that isn’t what I wanted.

The problem: my website was built with Microsoft Frontpage which hasn’t been updated since 2002.
Godaddy says the old program has too many vulnerabilities and removed support of all the automatic update features.
I can only update using an old FTP program. So… we are rebuilding with something else.
As the site is only a hobby, it is taking a while.

Why TF didn't he use Styrofoam blocks?

I mean there are standards - even for galactically shitty work.

I remember doing dodgy repairs with bits of beer can and bog. Thats taking it to another level and very impressive finish. He's obviously laying down the gauntlet to other extreme panel beaters around the world.
I'm sure I can hear the Architect saying they don't like the "brutality of the build"!

I will see your pair of brick cars and raise you a Mini penny!! Your bid..

I appreciate this thread is about tools....If anyone knows how to handle a tool, it will be James Bond. Shaken not stirred...

Baron Samedi ( Live and let die ) was quite good with tools.

Watched the most recent (last year, No Time to Die) Bond film with Daniel Craig the other night. The special effects are so way far over the top as to rival Matt Damon's crazy, unbelievable stunts. I appreciate this genre of action films, but it is more enjoyable IMHO, when the stunts bear some semblance to reality.

Yes, and let’s face it, the best stories are more about the drama than the action itself (especially FX)

Mainsail looks to be chopped from his living room blinds? And that's a helluva a lot of freeboard, for when it's blowing over 6 kts!!
