AS member 041S.

He's in the fight thread a lot. An excellent human being.

It's your own fault primate.
If you'd been a jerk we could give you more abuse.....

I still ain't shaving my legs for you.

Not above the knees anyway.......

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.

You feelin' crappy Randy? Many here, me included, grateful to you for all the help you pay forward. Great bunch here!

 

[Mastermind]

can you get the info on the zama el42

I'm not sure if you are asking if I want the info, or if I can share it. Which is it sir?

and the info on how to fix the 359 walbro carb

Again......

Who's this @Mastermind character, and what is he accusing me of?

Of being Riff Raff. What else have you done lately?

It's your own fault primate.

How's the new shop working out?

Yeah.......crappy. I've got a bad cold Duane, and I've hurt my back again. Sorta makes everything you do seem like a chore.

 

[Duane(Pa)]

I'm just going to go ahead and blame this all on the baler! I hope you get feelin' better real soon...

 

[Mastermind]

I think the baler is partly to blame. At least for the backache.

Have you used that grinder yet?

 

[tree monkey]

to randy I say, use more tp feel less crappy

I think it's your fault I'm sick. You gave me a cold didn't you?

Very cool. I gotta get the bigger building finished........then I'll get a mill.

Actually I moved this one in the back of my suburban.
A Hardinge UM

 

[Mastermind]

Hardinge = pricey.

I would love to have a mill that size. I planned on buying a bridgeport once I had room for one, but I think I might buy a table top to hold me over until that day comes.

 

[mdavlee]

I want a mill myself. Be easier to remove heads on cylinders and make AR parts.

$250 and I had to reinstall the table after he scraped it in....
It was $400 for the proper Bridgeport head that goes with it.
But no quill. Bummer.
Another head with quill is in the plan.
Nice for small work.
Vertical and horizontal. With a twisting table.

 

[Stihl 041S]

A Bridgeport is one of the most useable mills for the money.
It's the Small Block Chevy of the mill world.
I'd like a deckel. To go with my lathe.
It's gonna be a while. But I'd sell six guns to get one.
And that's saying a LOT

 

[Stihl 041S]

The Rockwell is another great mill.
3/4 size Bridgeport
R8 collets.
The collets for the BP head for my Hardinge are worth as much as the head. Literally. NOT R8.
