I would love to join in, but I seem to have lost the plot somewhere.

I am not complaining or joking, I truly don't know what it is about.

John, it is about people who know how to have an idea and to turn it into reality by their own efforts and skills.

Outstanding Quote!!!  I've written that down.  I might like to use the quote (with attribution) in a future column.  May I?

But of course!  :med:

John
Does that mean
People who see a need, conceptualize a solution,and by application of acquired skills manufacture the solution?
or
Those who say "bugger it Ican make/fix that and do it"?

BR,

A while back I was asked if I could make an engine plate for V8 drag cars. This plate fits between the transmission and the engine to keep the engine from twisting out of the motor mounts. A couple of know it alls said I couldn't do it. That you need a CNC machine to do the job. I showed them it could be done by laying out the holes and using a tree pan tool to cut the large center hole, all on a drill press.

When you don't understand the mechanics of how parts are made I guess you then go out and buy the part.

Bernd
