Hi John,
I didn't want to tell you about this safe haven, I wanted you to find it all by yourself. I wondered how long it would take you. I suppose Ralph pointed you in the general direction.
But I would just like to say that John still thinks he is a beginner, but is far from it.
I cannot describe my feelings to see just how well John has progressed in the two years we have been communicating by email. From basically a beginner who only knew the parts of the lathe by reading the manual, to someone who can redesign a plan completely, and get the engine to work (A 5 cylinder Liney Halo to a 3 cylinder one). A great feat on your part John, coupled with a lot of hard work to learn a new skill, and really master it.
I have now forgotten the number of emails, but John reminded me a couple of weeks ago that I still owe him a few.
A big welcome John.
John
