Hey guys, have you seen Jeremy Fielding's vids? You might be interested in his utub stuff. I am watching his vid on treadmill scrapping. I got a treadmill motor, but failed to know tha tI should have gotten the electronics too.

There are 1/8th" center drills, which can be used to just put a dimple on the piece. This will center it perfectly fine.

You are absolutely right. Not only that, but it is downright DANGEROUS to have cold feet and legs when old coots like you'all, are standing relatively still for a long time. Blood clots and other bad things can happen. For youngsters, this may or may not be true also, it may contribute to...

For NSW it might be a fair price, as I believe Australia might have a supply problem for lathes, but here in the USA there are many lathes for sale, which drops the price. Of course, you may be speaking of $AU not $US. But in $US, I would be inclined to 300$US. I wojuld be too suspicious of a...

Let me be sure that I understand you. You say you are drilling a .25mm hole with a lathe? your lathe is a toy lathe? I would thimpfk even a toy lathe would be too clumsy to try this with. I would thimpfk a dremel type tool would be needed. You could set that up in your lathe but to use the...

What does your butcher--I mean, doctor say about glucosamine? It helps me a little, maybe not enough but a little. I workt last summer in the harvest in which when I was driving the harvester, I was always gripping two objects: with left hand, the steering wheel; with right hand, the...

How big is Agnes? Any more photos?

At this time I would be willing to take a quarter of it hands down, but one never knows about later. I could imagine uses for more later, but projects take a long time.

Ah, thanx. I live about 1-1/2 hours from Seattle. It's possible to go there to pick it up. I'll look up the location
