| PekkaNF:
Fletcher may be on to something...I took one can of brew. One of those days. Are we going to see some dogged determination on this matter? Pekka |
| vtsteam:
Oooh, don't let him see you do that Pekka.......he begs! :beer: |
| Manxmodder:
Pretty smart them Collies,but can a dog really build a centre lathe from a ladder,that's what I want to know. :scratch:.....OZ. |
| BillTodd:
Knock yourself up one of these ;-) |
| vtsteam:
Yes, yes Bill. I've already seen that in Rob's thread....rub it in whydoncha! One of the main reasons I'm not building a lathe is because of that man and his micron precsison lathe! Standards have come altogether too high these days for a guy to feel comfortable making anything other than dog's ladders in a home shop. Even then Fletcher is unusually lenient with me -- he saw the film, laid a paw on my shoe and said, "Don't worry about the ladder....sometimes crude work is attractive. You wouldn't want one of those lathes anyway -- just think, do ya really want to worry about whether on part of the granite bed was warmer than another while working, trying to hold that micron?" I had to admit...... that might just take the fun out of it..... :beer: |
