When I use to work in a 4 man toolroom back in the 1980's, the Lead machinist who usually ran the Jig bore would yell out "I'LL TAKE A HALF A POUND" when ever someone would grind the gears in a Bridgeport or Lathe... To this day it is one of my favorite shop lines.
...OR when asked if a "small error" would get by our inspection dept., we would say sure, "they'd miss it if they went by it at 55 MPH."
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL...HOPE 2015 IS A GREAT ONE!

Cheap toilet paper makes for stinky fingers (when a customer complains about prices).
Slicker than snot on a door knob.
A bucket of .... won't fit in a teacup.
Happier than a puppy with two peckers.
I'd tell you to kiss my ass, but I don't know where your lips have been.
Hard work, dedication, and skill will only get you so far, sometimes you just have to wing it.
Being a gunsmith is not about not making mistakes, it's about being able to figure out the best way to fix them without the customer knowing they ever happened.
