Man........Thanks!!!!! Do I ever need that advice!!!!! I am accused all the time of being too much of a perfectionist.......No don't get me wrong, I'm not really a craftsman because it usually takes me quite a few times to get things as I think they should be. My sons and my boss are always telling me "It's good enough!!" It's something I'm working on..........really!!Maybe this new hobby/obsession will help with it!!!!
That's great Pete!!! That was always the way I was taught by my dad!!
Jack.....thanks!!!! I've been through Mannville a time or two. Actually played a couple of gigs in Vermillion a couple years in a row....Anyway......looks like my 1st project is gonna be a quick job for a coworker who needs has a fitting for his skid steer that needs to have the ID enlarged a little. Told me today he was gonna take it to a machinist somewhere, but now will wait for me to have a look at it. Other than that, I'm gonna just make some fun stuff to reacquaint myself with a lathe and have some cool things to show for it. Things like a Turner's cube, a Bolt pen, a captured ring on a barbell and so on. If you have some fun ideas of projects I'd love to hear them.
Thanks.........last parts coming in for the truck this week. Not sure though when I'll be able to go get the lathe. I have a son that just came back from 3 years in Madrid with his very lovely and sweet spanish fiancé and have a tonne of things needing done as they start the process of a permanent residency application for her.........the first being a wedding!! We will see, but I assume I won't find the time to get to pick up the lathe till after the wedding that is at the end of the 1st week of May. We shall see.......
