Very nice indeed. I want to do this project, but it's a big one. Also, have too many other irons in the . . .

I suggest you make an ER holder. YOu can use your 4-jaw to hold it.

Loved the comedy vid. I used to be very interested in electronics. I know that if one takes the time to learn how basic things like resistors, capacitors, tubes (valves in British), transistors, and most of all transformers, how they work, then learn how to read schematics, then you are 90%...

I bid on a 55gal barrel of broken/used carbide tooling. It went WAY beyond reality. sNOt only that, but the shipping cost would have been enormoius because of the weight.

I took a look at that--no tonnage and only for June. It's always interresting to see that. I have some students and they don't seem to know anything about anything. I wouldn't be too surprised if they didn't even know what WWII was.

Thanx for that.

Yes, I also read that in the USA small shops were NOT used for the war effort, apparently the corporations didn't try to contact them. However, I know that at least SOME of the small shops were used as I know of a small shop in Ellensburg, WA that had contracts with Boeing, which meant...

Obviously. The valve cannot be changed because of it's size and shape so it has to be the upright. Might help if you had a 3D assembly drawing to look at.

Well where in the Great State are you? I live in Moses Lake but presently in Henderson Nevada (bordering Las Vegas). No matter where yuou live, there is probably another member close by in the state.

World War FIVE?

Yes, I agree. I was on another forum and I got kikt off for the most petty of things. Also, the other ones, as you say, are klunky.

I find the same thing in many other feilds. Human beans are MADE to learn thru hands/eyes/ears and the coodinations between them. If we cut all that out, it's like person's missing their souls--all white, no color, no grey. A couple decades back the schools in the US built with no window in...

Wish I had some now. would keep them till am ready to use.

The same thing happened to me on THIS forum. but in general, this is a very good forum. I blame the person who attacked me, not the forum, however, the moderators did a poor job of asking for my side of the story which never happened.

Don't forget the generators in hand wound flashlights and the like that were floating about a few years back. Those lights didn't last very long, but I don't thimpfk it had anything to do with the little generators in them. You can still find those some places.

I didn't even know there was a difference.

No, I am glad you could get a discount. the price on the website is not a TERRIBLE price, in fact, not too bad, however, it's enough to interfere with otherr projects I have in mind. Thanx for sending the website. If I get some extra $$, then maybe.

Well, how am I to know if I can afford it? I am very interested in this engine.

Nono, how much did YOU pay, if you don't mind me asking?

I agree. crappy ones, that is, low cost, are quite accurate. Also they turn off automaticlly when not in use. I have been using Mitutoyo (or fako's from China) at my work. They do NOT turn off automatically. On purpose? run down the batts when you forget? Don't know but awfully...
