John S.:

if it ain't too much trouble, i would still like to get a couple of pictures of that cut knurling tool.

i would really prefer that you not go to a lot of trouble with this, but if you get a chance i would appreciate it.

i delude myself into thinking that maybe i can build one.

thank you, Sir. have a good day.

peace.

Good on you Bill,
All too often now the widow approaches the local club and thinking she's doing some good give hubbbies magazines to the club.
Sometimes they are passed on to a new member [ rare] but mainly they go for recycling as no one wants them.
.

that's really sad, any that come up at TSME (toronto) are instantly snapped up, usually around $1 per. To any aspiring model engineers, the old ME are GOLD. Most of our homeshop equipment is technology of the same era and the knowledge, skill and writing ability of some of these authors is tremendous. 40's 50's and 60's are my favorites

speaking of faceplate's, spent all day yesterday on faceplate work. I like faceplate work, makes me feel connected with the craftsmen of yesterday. back when men would layout and cut threads by hand and the 4jaw was just a glimmer in some designers mind

Bill,
Working on a gear CD at the moment.
Which knurling tool was it you were interested in, straight, [ simple one ] or the crossed knurl.

BTW just as a reference this advert came in today on our free adverts site.
About typical for here.

"I hope mine got to a good home when that big faceplate in the sky rolls over me"

John
I though all of us "machining types"
would be shot in the back by a jealous husband
at 102

I think you mean "angry father"

hello John S.

i [think] i want to try to build the crossed one. i suppose we will see about that.

please let me know when the gear cd is done. i want at least one. maybe one for the kid too.

if i was closer i would be jumping all over those magazines. i *need* more junk around here. i think they would sort of compliment all the old rusty stuff.

thank you, Sir. i really appreciate this. i know you are busy.

peace.
billr.

ETA: i always hoped i would die as mentioned above. however, getting shot hurts and when you come down to it, today is as good as any other day to die.

ETA2: because i am a crappy typist.

ETA3: because i don't do this very well. duh.

The best day to die is when you have maxed every credit card out you own.....................
