Chris.....Tyler........Jake gloated over a birthday present drill press and didn't post a photo........Chris .....Tyler....... :eek: :rolleyes: :p :D Congrats Jake! Take care with that drill press. I cut a finger to the bone by drilling something without having securely fastened down. The piece of metal caught on the drill bit and slipped out of my hand; spun around cutting my finger. Don't you make the same mistake! Besure to wear some eye protection too! Enjoy your tools and always be safe!

I don't have a digital camera.

Congrats on the new DP, Jake! May not be the most used tool in the shop, but it sure is nice to have when you need it! And sometimes, it's about the *only* way to do certain jobs! :) Cool. Hope you enjoy it. Also, congrats on getting a pic up before the Picture Patrol got you! :cool:

[Jake Byrd]

Jake, you scored BIG TIME for your Birthday.....................good for you! Just have a good time, and work safely. Remember, properly cared for, those tools will last you a LOOOOONG time. So, care for them, use them properly, and you are off to a good tool collection start! CONGRATULATIONS! :D

[Jake Byrd]

Kevin, I have been wondering, did you ever find a taper thing?


Thanks,

[Kevin Gerstenecker]

Man, I forgot to let ya know Jake............sorry about that. YES, I do have a morse taper fitting that the mandrel shaft threads into. Email me your address again Jake, in case I misplaced it, and I will send it to ya. I will remove the mandrel shaft from it...............as it is slightly bent..........it was a cheapo mandrel I got with my first Pen Turning stuff. I'll get it to ya before the end of the week Jake. Sorry I forgot to let you know I had that thing............things have been crazy lately!

I've been thinking that there are a couple people beating you and Tyler to the punch. Good induction (though I bet Ken still wouldn't ask for pics of my abdominal bruise :D )
