Ken, I just spent some time watching some of your videos. Very interesting! Beautiful engine!

RodW, I like the base plate on your bandsaw. I'm sure it's far better to use, as you have bypassed that irritable round insert around the blade. That said, I am going to make one for myself.

Varmtr, Excellent video on cutting threads. Thanks for posting it!

Great work Kel!

Bear it's amazing!

Neat engine!
