A Huge Thanks To Thomas1.......and many others :-))

[Mastermind]

As I was working this morning I could not help but think about how T1 has helped me out with tooling.

Between him, and Glock37, Uncle Rob 041s, DefinitiveDave, Wigglesworth, Jon1212, Stihlbro, and several other guys here, I have acquired some pretty cool tools, and gained some serious saw knowledge.

When I'm feeling crappy, I like to make a list of all the things I'm grateful for. I have some really good friends.....I'm very grateful for that.

When I was last in VA I went to T1's place and he hooked me up with a Skinner 4 jaw chuck that I use about every day, and a full set of collets, and a closer. I even got my Bridgeport live center from Tom.

Mike (Glock37) is always hooking me up with stuff.......last time I saw him he handed me a really nice 041AV AND a Super top end to put on it. What a great guy.

Uncle Rob has helped me out with tooling, indicators, etc. Always there to help me when I have questions about the how tos of machine work. A better friend would be tough to find.

Dave has helped me with all sorts of Stihl Tools. Hell I opened a box from him a few days ago..........Wasabi Peas. I love them damn things. They're like crack to me.

Wiggs is the reason I can even build a strong running saw. He and I have spent hour after hour on the phone talking two stroke performance.

And Jon1212...........That guy helped me out when I was broke. He made a friend for life..........

Joey and I talk regularly too, and he is the carb guy that has helped me understand those damn things. Without his help, I never would have learned how to fix the Zama EL42.

I could go on........but this is getting sappy.

Here's what I just finished doing.

Mushy, sappy blah blah. Thanks for your help Randy. Did you cut a carb needle?

 

[Mastermind]

One of many. It occurred to me that I had just used the four jaw to drill the carb, then the collet set to hold the bolt, and the Bridgeport live center to tail it.

I was feeling pretty grateful. Thought I'd give some guys a shout out.

I was shucking corn last weekend at Field Day of the Past and looked up to see Thomas 1 standing there in a Geniusfest T shirt. Only had time to chat for a couple of minutes.

He told me he saw you there Gary. That stationary baler is what I'd like to see running. Very cool.

See if this works...

Good guys, but all Riff Raff for sure.

Yep, that worked. What year was that machine made Gary?

Good guys, but all Riff Raff for sure.

That's true, very true in fact.
