Sad that most kids in high school will never know the joy(pain in the rear) controlling three dimensions by hand. Computers do it now and will even rotate the piece for you.


People only see the finished job not the work that we have put in to build and recreate these "projects" we have.

Similar to you I own a 1905 Farm House. The only original plaster that is left is a 3 foot by 3 foot chunk that I just couldn't bring my self to tear down. It is covered by Quarter Sawn White Oak so I left it. Otherwise the entire house has been massaged and updated. No one understood the process and the total Love(hate) i have with the house now.

Thank you for sharing all you do with the community!

Sorry I am posting about a few pages ago about 106 to 108 maybe...

funny, I started out in HS in machine shop, went on to the first Tech center in our area, then got a job in tool and die shop, then a speed shop, all related to my Bridgeport knowledge

My sons were all taught manual before they went on to CNC

Damn!!! Just spilled my first cup of coffee all over my interior, what a mess to start my day

You've given me the incentive to get back on my rear mount of my rocker box area, I had forgotten about using templates for that area, but I may call Wes and order them up
