Happy Birthday, Gary!

Happy Birthday, Al! I hope the secret jaunt goes well and I'll raise a glass in your honor tonight.

I have a couple at home, I'll try 4-40 and 6-32 and report back.

How's the eye?

In a word, yes.

Jesus F, Mark.

I'm just getting warmed up.

Sally. I will probably be picking up a band saw on the way home tomorrow.

I checked out BoC yesterday, being mostly ignorant of this genre, I liked it. I'll sample more of their work but would love to hear other recommendations in the same vein.

Come on, you don't want custom shaft extension kits, knobs, tube rings...

You sure you want to go through the hassle of driving? I'm sure it'll be a fun road trip but really, it won't save much cash. I'm currently looking at ~$250 round trip all in for flights and I'd rather chill and watch a movie for an hour and a half but that's just me. My current plan, pending spousal approval, is to fly out early/mid-day Friday and back as late as I can Sunday.

We will have to find some appropriately wicked things to make with it. The more I search around the more cool things I find to try...

Haj, if it was storm damage check with your home owner's insurance. It may be covered and even if the physical damage seems minor make them check for mold/mildew issues.

I look forward to toasting your safe return Naaman. As Steve said, godspeed.

I think a pair of custom aluminum Grado cups may be in order to celebrate.

Wooden bar stool. My worktable is from the 50's too, old drafting table that I saved from the dumpster back when I was in college. But sadly another drill press is not in my future and I already made one big tool purchase today.

Taig Micro Lathe II with a whole host of options and accessories.

Knuckles made me do it. Boards of Canada - The Campfire Headphase

I want it so badly, for no reason other than I love old, badass tools like that.

The Gathering - Home

My favorite XX vs. bridge is the backhoe vs. bridge that happened in Kansas in '06.

It's conveniently built in two boxes for ease of trans-Atlantic travel and world voltage capable. If only we knew someone who was traveling...

Mother F, $10k. Can't wait to see this thing.
