Got an Acme thread gauge to grind a 5 TPI thread. I'll have to figure out my ELS code again, hadn't programmed 5 TPI yet. So I will need to dust off some formulas again. What uses 5 TPI? A push broom!

Sometime, maybe even within the month, I'll be back in your area again. You'll need to load me up with lots of stuff. I'm sure you have things that I didn't even know I needed. Files, height gauges, gauges, HSS, etc..

It's been awhile since I've done much machining - dealing with my mom's estate has eaten up most of my time. The main time crunch should be over soon when I sell her home.

Figured I could knock out this tool bit and do something totally different tomorrow - like making threads on a broom stick.

The son is learning the tricks of the trade ! If I don't have 50 10mm hex drivers I don't have one . He said he was storing it in his truck so it wouldn't get lost .

so you don't have any... you lost all 50 ?

You're always welcome here as usual . Are you moving your shop down this way when you come ? You know where I'm at , moving 3 places at once . Trying to scale down the fort . Not an easy task to try to do 10 things at the same time . 48 years of junk adds up coming from 3 generations of machinists .

Wait, if you weren’t watching my stuff while I was off buying more stuff, who was watching my stuff??

Wish I wasn’t messed up: I’ve actually decided to part with some stuff (“junk” according to SO, but she does occasionally admit that it’s useful), but I guess I’ll have to wait until next year (not worth the hassle of shipping).
