"does your wife know yet that the mill itself is the cheapest part? If she isn't aware of tooling costs perhaps I should send her a PM?"
Terry, I thought we were keeping
THIS thread in the
FRIENDLY banter mode

-
Besides, most of the other stuff I'll end up getting for the mill is enough le$$ (each) to come under the heading of "onesie-twosie" "supplies" - haven't you read chapter 1 of my book,
"Toy Acquisition and the Art of SWMBO Manipulation"?? (Oh, wait, I haven't finished writing
THAT chapter yet :laughing: )
Plus, I'll probably be in Witness Protection after it's published

so I'll have to pretend not to be me, so then you'll have to find somebody
ELSE to make ya laugh, so you'll all be soooo sad, so....
That does it, I'm keepin' the book to meself, wouldn't wanna be responsible fer all that pain
James, thanks - that was the least expensive one I found with nearly all my shopping list on it. Been checking CL 2-3 times a day for the last few months, everywhere within 200 miles and nothing came up within my price range that I even wanted to go look at.
Plus, this way a semi will stop on the road in front of my place and I'll unload the crate with the BH and he'll drive away. No trailers, traffic or tribulations to speak of - my kind of fun... Steve
