Old Timer, not really OT

He had the patience to help me out with a crappy 3-in-1 machine when I was first getting started and didn't know jack.

and look how the little acorn has grown into a might oak! haha, can't imagine you with 3:1 after seeing the axis tilting collection of heavy iron you've amassed

I had also forgotten about 1800miner. I wonder how his new shop is coming after his old one got burned in a wildfire.

Sad to say, 1-800-miner is long gone... He sent me a few items he didn't need anymore after the fire.

Join date 3/25/2002. I had some sort of machining question and 12 hour later I had a drawing as an answer. That was my first encounter with John Stevenson. There are a large number of members that have been helpful as well as entertaining. It has been a great pleasure to correspond with people of different ages and abilities from all over the globe.

Ha! I've still got my little Smithy Midas. It's in pieces and I don't use it but I've still got it as a sort of memento. When I bought it, moving ~500 lbs. was a serious endeavor and seemed like a big deal. It was eventually the folks on this forum and over on PM who convinced me to take a plunge on 2 Pacemakers out in New Mexico. What an adventure that was! Really changed the way I looked at that 3-in-1 machine

I'm really sorry to hear that. I thought he was still alive and well, just not posting much since he was rebuilding. He always seemed like a really nice guy, although I didn't have much interaction with him.
