Hey guys,
Sorry to hijack your thread, but I was wondering how you like living in Mooresville? I'm trying, not succesfully yet, to convince LOML to move down to the Carolinas. I currently work for...

Syd,
It's been a while, but I used to visit SC a lot for golf trips & vacations. Lots to do in MB - shame you don't golf as there are over 100 courses. Last time I was there - about 5 years ago...
As a former mechanic who now works for Snap on tools 2nd largest customer after the US Gov't. I'd say that the actual craftsman sockets are fine for most people. When I was 16 years old -31 years...
Hey Chris -it doesn't sound like exactly what they do, but I was wondering if you work for SLB? I work at a tradeschool & they hire some of our students. I was down in Houston last year meeting...
I bet I drove right by while you were there. I had to go down to the bay to help my Dad take the cover off his boat & put the canvas top on. Drove right past Hearnes at about 8 AM & on the way back...
WOW Jim,
That sure is a beauty & I'm certain you deserve it. Like you said you could spend 15 or 20 grand just for the upfront fees for some of the country clubs around here. And I've felt your...
Mine is waiting for me at home! I think I ordered mine on 12/28 & I'm in eastern PA. LOML called me at work & said it was delivered & is sitting on the side porch under roof, which is good because...
Mine was shipped & is supposed to be delivered on Friday the 5th. For some reason I can't track my shipping either - says tracking not available on this item???? I'm really looking forward to...
Sorry about messing up the letters - we're not trying to overthrough the B people :rolleyes: Anyway - for $155 out of pocket I figure if I get a year out of it I'll be ahead of the game - as long...
Hey Guys,
I don't post here much anymore, but I had to stop by & say thank you for the heads up on this lathe deal. My current lathe is an older borrowed craftsman so I figured I almost had to buy...
I think Bill was thinking of Industrial Plywood in Reading. The Mennonite sawmill I go to sometimes told me about them.

Haven't dealt with them yet myself so...
If you can overcome the obvious challenges I think this is a great idea. Back in the old days - before everyone was sue happy & when I was really into cars - an old gas station that no longer used...
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I know you have been & are going through a rough time but please know that there are people who care about you & are praying for you.
I am so sorry to hear of you & your families loss. I went throught the same thing about 12 years ago, It's not easy but it does get better. My prayers are with you & yours.
I thought it was bad when you & I were moving around the poolewood :D ;)
That's the first time that Big Blue has ever looked small to me :rolleyes:
That is really a shocker - your work has been a real inspiration to many of us. Sounds like you made a good choice though & that you'll keep your hands in the WW'ing stuff at least a little bit.. ...
I've got a similar looking pile of that stuff at my place too :D :cool: really neat looking stuff. The only thing I've turned from it so far is a piece that didn't have the best staining of the...
HAPPY B'DAY TO YOU!!! :D :cool:
Glad you're having a great day - couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
Sorry to hear of your accident - Thank God it wasn't any more serious. Take care & keep plenty of ice on it - heal quickly.
I changed the blades once on mine once right after I got it. Don't send a very short piece of wood through your planer - DAMHIKT :rolleyes: , I recall that it was pretty easy but forget exactly...
If that's a boat where's the motor? :rolleyes: ;)
You're getting pretty good at this flat stuff - if you don't need your lathe anymore I'd be happy to get it out of your way :p
I really like the looks of the bench - does it seem heavy enough for...
Nice job on the scroll project - & an even better job spending some quality time with Casey. I hope you two get to spend lots of good times in the shop - doing fun stuff :cool:
Great job Larry - a real original piece I'd say. You did a great job on it & the feet are really cool - I'm with John - I don't have the patience for that kinda work.
Now that I see the pic I think what Jim said will work fine. It's similar to the setup on my craftsman lathe. Mine actually has a threaded bolt that screws down into the bottom piece & there is a...
