[Andy Hoyt]

I can think of one place I wish it would bomb.

[Bernie Weishapl]

I am in the concrete bunker with my Colorado Kool-aid.

Don't blow a fuse while thinking there Andy. :p :p :D It won't take you long to figure it out. :rolleyes:

Forgive me for being a newbie, folks, but what exactly is meant by a "bombing run"?

What this means is some fun and goodhearted gift giving.

I think it all started with dropping a Jet Mini lathe on Ken, to kick start his turning, then others, including myself, have done bombing runs of wood, I sent over a bunch of pen blanks.

All in good fun, no one gets hurt, and someone gets something nice from a fellow Creeker(s).

Cheers!

Don't forget the Thong attacks, Clean surgical strafe runs.

ROFL..!!!! :rolleyes: LOL!!!!!! :eek: You tell'um Tyler!!!!!!!!!!:D

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Tyler.......I'm hoping that thong I got was Clean!:eek: :rolleyes: :D

Henry......I was the first "target" of the "bombing run". It all started with my teasing the turners here last fall during an "Itty Bitty" turning contest. In late January they announced they were going to "bomb" me. A week or so before the Super Bowl, FEDEX ground delivered Jet VS Mini, a SuperNova 2 chuck. Later turning videos, a set of HF turning tools, some Robert Larson turning tools and a check arrived. In short, in a matter of a couple of weeks I'd lost all my excuses for not being a turner. So....now I'm a turner of sorts..........I still haven't gotten back to finishing my new shop and I'm really not that far away. But..........there's 6" of shavings under the Bomb attached to the "Diving Board"! Hopefully, today.....I'll add to the mess!

Crazy bunch .....these turners here at SMC.......Generous bunch!........I hope I can justify their investment .........

Henry,

Stu has already answered, and yes.....he even got the answer right. :p :p :D

It's a good chance for folks to join together and send a gift, either hand made or store bought to someone that is needing or wanting some "thing" that is woodworking related. There have been several "bombings" in the last several months all happening to fellow Creekers. Even if folks dont' know WHAT's going on? They'll use that opportunity to jump in and have fun carrying on, poking, running, ducking, and just overall pretending to make the tension ever higher and the "happening" ever more "mysterious". Then once the gift is delivered? The person that got the surprise gift posts and everyone that wants to jumps in and pats them on the back via the creek.

You meet the nicest people on the Creek. :)

[Bernie Weishapl]

Henry,


You meet the nicest people on the Creek. :)

Amen to that Dennis. :p

Howl............you are sick.....certifiably..............sick!

[Barry Stratton]

Howl............you are sick.....certifiably..............sick!

Yeah, but he sure is certifiably LIKE-ABLE sick:D , well, for a flathead.

[Lee DeRaud]

I think it all started with dropping a Jet Mini lathe on Ken...Kinda like the old Firesign Theater bit called "You Catch It, You Keep It!!", a game show where the prizes are dropped off a three-story building to a crowd of waiting "contestants"...prizes like a washer and dryer or a briefcase with, not one, not two, but three gold bars. :eek:

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Yeah, but he sure is certifiably LIKE-ABLE sick:D , well, for a flathead.

He is at that!............but his will is breaking down as he's spending more time in the turner's forum............He will be assimiated!

[Paul Downes]

I like this sort of thing. So as a matter of encouragement, I will admit to a couple of runs. I noticed a marine who wanted to turn pens......so I launched a premptive strike and sent some blank bombs his way. I also dropped a bird bomb on Steve Ash a few weeks ago. Next time I'll have to tell him to look up at the appropriate time.:D Keep up the moral troops..........

[Henry C. Gernhardt, III]

Thanks for the explanation of the Bombing Run, folks, it looks like a lot of fun.

[Steve Ash]

Yes you did, and thank You...in case you missed it Paul.

Bombs on the lift-truck and waiting for shipment to the delivery vehicle. Safety checks will begin on Monday. :)

[John Hart]

Sounds exciting Dennis!! I love these things!:D

[Bob Noles]

Good gosh dennis.....

If that bomb requires a lift truck sombody is in big trouble :) If that large, is it still classified a conventional weapon :eek: :D

[Dave Richards]

As you know, I mainly lurk here since I haven't anything to show. Still no lathe but I can feel myself slipping more knowing that Tyler is aturner. ;)

I enjoy finding out who got bombed even if I don't get to help with the bombing. I wonder who is crouched under their bench waiting to see if the bomb is dropping on them?

:D

[Rob Bourgeois]

Not only that but the poor soul better have a buddy to help them move the thing.

[Dale Thompson]

I know some ladies that will pre-wear them for a price:eek:[/B] :p .

Thanks Howl,
I was wondering where you got all of those beautiful babes to "cater" to us over in LaCrosse!! :o :cool: :) Somehow I am gad that I lost the "Tug-of-Thong" contest to Erin! Maybe that's why she and I were the only ones to stay out of jail that night!! ;) :)

Don't know....I took my hat off.

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Let's see if I have this right Tyler.......no photo...it didn't happen.............Photo........Uh.....Tyler...... ....You are BUSTED!

[Dennis Peacock]

Plane has been loaded and payload secured. Time for taxi down the runway and takeoff to a destination unknown until the General says where to go. :D

[Mark Cothren]

God told Abraham to get up and go to a land that He would show him - and Abraham got up and went...

That's kinda how this bomb headed out... it'll know when it gets there...:D

So...lemme get this straight....Ya'll put "something" on a plane that doesn't know where it's going, but the "something" will know where it's going once it gets there?

Is this a scud?

[Steve Ash]

Sounds to me like a "smart" bomb.

[Lee DeRaud]

Sounds to me like a "smart" bomb.Just so it doesn't have ADD:
"Acquiring target...final guidance check...sensor lock achieved...ooh, bright shiny thing!!!" (thud)

[Dennis Peacock]

John,

It's not a scud.......but it's more like a Smart Bomb with a dumby behind the wheel. :p :rolleyes:

The pilot for this bomb will deliver in a nice Brown Truck. ;)

[Bruce Shiverdecker]

Just GOT to get into this!:D

I KNOW it's not me gettin' bombed, this time. I ain't there and am going to be a movin' target till mid June.:p So, if I don't get to congratulate the "Bombee" later, I'll do it now.:rolleyes:

Hope you like what you're gettin':cool: :cool: :cool:

Tyler, I thought about that after I wrote it. I suppose in this case it's a good thing though. ;)

He's FINALLY gotten around to showing his REAL pic. :eek: Why do you think that I call him "Howl"? ;) :eek: :D

[Jeff Kuykendall]

Okay, now I can't wait to see who gets bombed.:D

[Dennis Peacock]

Coordinates appear to be North of us Commander. I'll map it and track where we're headed. Sound the alarm....this is gonna be a doozie!!!!

[Mark Cothren]

And the crowd grows strangely quiet.......... is the anticipation building?

I think I just heard a low rumble building up in the distance...:confused: :eek: :cool:

[Mark Cothren]

Just received confirmation that target was acquired and payload was delivered. Stay tuned....

[Dave Richards]

I'm all aquiver. :D

[Stu Ablett in Tokyo Japan]

3:21 in the morning here, I got to go to bed, I have a delivery at 8 AM, and the DVR arrives around noon......

I guess I'll have to wait for the update.....

Cheers!

[Rob Bourgeois]

looking outside.......

its not me :) phewww.:D

[Joe Tonich]

Awwww MAAANNNN! :eek: :D

Dunno who all was in on this, but THANKS!!!! :D :D

Was just told by my therapist last week that turning shouldn't hurt my arm, the tendon & muscle should stay attached since I wouldn't be doing any heavy lifting. Was getting a high starting to turn again and THIS shows up at my door. :D
Hoping to put the steady in use trying hollowforms soon.

All of you are the BEST!!! http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b156/jt6089/approval.gif http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b156/jt6089/approval.gif

I know I don't post much on others work, just want to let ya all know I do look at every pic and definitely enjoy watching people progress in their skills. Please don't think I'm ignoring anyone by not posting, I just don't talk much. :(

Thanks again,

Joe - goin wheel shopping tomorrow. :D

[Don Baer]

WOW joe great gloat.

[John Hart]

Very cool Joe!!! Congratulations! :)

I'm at work right now so I think I'll swing by your place on the way home and steal it. Hope you don't mind. Thanks.;)

[Dave Richards]

Nice, Joe. And good on all those who got together on that.

[Keith Burns]

Way cool Joe, a BIG CONGRATS:) :)

[Henry C. Gernhardt, III]

Congratulations, Joe! Have fun with that steady!

[Bob Noles]

Congratulations Joe.......

Now we can all breathe easier :)

Put that rascal to good use and then post us some ooh and aah pictures :D

[Dale Thompson]

Hey folks,
Regardless of what the vast majority of the people in the world say about you, you folks on The Creek are INCREDIBLE!! :cool: :) Adjectives like sensitive, generous and thoughtful don't even come CLOSE to describing your stature as REALLY decent human beings!! :D

I consider it a privilege to be allowed to participate in this Forum where our ever-vigilant Moderators only delete 97% of my posts due to their own strict interpretations of "decency"! ;) :)

As some of you may know, I'm not big on compliments! :( In fact, I feel this horrible gurgling in my stomach - it's getting WORSE! :mad: OH NO! Not on the keyboard AGAIN! :o

Whatever, you're a great family! :)

Dale T.

[Dennis Peacock]

CONGRATS JOE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You go Buddy!!!!!:D

[Travis Stinson]

Congrats Joe! :D

[Andy Hoyt]

Coolness, dude!

[Steve Ash]

Congrats Joe. Now it's time to start turning again!:cool:

[Corey Hallagan]

Allright, very cool Joe and congrats!

[Raymond Overman]

Nice catch there Joe... I think this would go towards "How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb."

Is that a roll your own steady rest or store bought? The finish on it it looks great. It shows a lot of effort was put into it. Excellent job! I've got to find me one of these.

Hey Raymond,

Looks like a Stinson-KeTron Steady to me.....:D

I have a pic of one that I was gonna try to copy/make one day.....glad I don't have to now. I'm bad with angles. :o

[Dennis Peacock]

Yup....it's a Stinson-Ketron Design of the ever popular steady. Works great too!!!! Thanks to Travis and Jim for refining the design to come up with such a great steady!!!!:D :D

[Jim Ketron]

Congrats Joe! That was mighty thoughtful of them guys!

[Stu Ablett in Tokyo Japan]

Whoo-Hoo, what a day for nice arrivals!! :D

Take a bunch more pics, I see one of them in my future, I do have a MIG welder after all :D

Congrats Joe!

[Michael Stafford]

Way to go, Joe. I am glad that you are able to get back to turning and a steady sure makes it easier to control some of the unruly spinny things.

Congratulations!!!;) :D

[Barry Stratton]

Congrats Joe! A well deserved surprise! Can't wait to see it in use.

Those responsible proved once again what a great place this is! You guys are AMAZING!!!!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Congrats Joe. What a surprise. Glad to see you are now able to get back to something you love. Have fun.
