    Visit from Allen Levine

    Hello all I don't get on the forums much, although I have been meaning to start up again. In any case, Allen was in the area on some personal business, and stopped by the shop to say hello. He asked for a picture, and since my daughter was home from school, I was able to oblige. We had a...

    Personal Website Gone

    Greetings all I am no longer out standing in my field. For many years, 10 years to be specific, I maintained a personal website that had pictures of my turnings, as well as a few articles I had written about various turning processes. Many people referred to that website, usually the...

    GM Key Fob Panic Button

    Does anyone here know how to disable the stupid panic button on a GM key fob? I have really had my fill of this stinking thing going off repeatedly for not much more than just looking at it. I would dearly love to find the engineer who designed it, set his own personal one off, and then force...

    Atomic Clock Radio?

    Greetings all A number of years ago I received an atomic clock for my bedside table. It is in the process of dying. The one feature I really like about it is the one that is doing it in. It has a push button feature so that the backlight is always off, but by pushing the button, the...

    The Robust is here!

    Greetings all I figured I would put this in the new tools section instead of one of the turning sections. After all, it is a new tool. Yesterday was a big day in a couple of ways, not the least of which was the long awaited delivery of the Robust. The lathe arrived about 3:00 PM, and all...

    Old Cat Problem

    Greetings all This is an unusual one for me, but I am hoping someone here might have some suggestion. We have a feral cat living in our house. It is a long story, but suffice to say, many years ago, we took in a stray at my SWMBO's request. The cat was mostly dead, and during the process of...
