Article on the need for machinists; http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/12/15/on-job-hunt-machinists-in-high-demand/?test=latestnews I found it interesting when I took a basic machinist class at a local trade school that the instructor told us he was going to teach us the manual lathe and mill...

That's incredible. Let's see; if I start right now I would be able to build one of those by....? Thanks for the link.

I know Bogs is feeling some heartburn over losing some data so I just want to say that this post in no way is poking at him! It did make me think that some of what I do might be useful to someone else. Figured it would be best to start another thread. I have two PC's and one laptop that I use...

Like the colors and the modifications, intentional and unintentional. ;D Great job.

You both might enjoy reading "Shop Class as Soulcraft: An Inquiry Into the Value of Work". I found it an easy read and interesting.

Great job. Good looking and good runner. Love the 2x scale. Nice to know the design scales up and still works. Thm:

This item and all his others were cancelled and he is no longer a registered user!! Anybody shocked?? My question was not how cheap the items were. I was wondering how he could ship for free when shipping was more than the sale price. :o He would have been smarter to charge about $200 for...

Nice job. Thm: Good runner. Thanks for reposting the video link for us anti-social non-facebook types. ;D

Very nice. I admire such small scale but don't like to do it personally.

You can only view this if you have a facebook login. Try Youtube, Flickr, Photobucket, etc Yeah, I know. But there are still a few of us out here. ;D

The electric device that I thought was the poorest design I ever saw was a timer for a heater with a 220 volt line but the timer only had a single contact in it and instructions showed it installed and just interrupting one leg of the 220 v circuit. Sure it shut down the heater it controlled but...

I have one of these and love it: http://www.familyhandyman.com/DIY-Projects/Electrical/Electrical-Tools/how-to-use-cheap-electrical-testers Detects AC power without making contact. Requires no ground or neutral. Works through insulation. You can find a hot wire in a bundle of wires or stick it...
