That idiot would have to be the most opinionated moron I've ever come across, OK, it's his site, well he can rant and rave all he want's too, but as far as I'm concerned, he can shove it where the sun don't shine.

You really need to expand your horizons, go check out some DECENT forums, instead of believing what comes across on that site.

He seems to have some fixation with old worn out/clapped out junk yankee iron is best, think he better remove his head from his butt and stop playing ostrich.

Have you noticed he don't show his head on any other forum, simple reason really, everybody else, on any other forum, will tell him to bugger orf.

ROFL yeah some guys on there can be pig headed did you see the posts on that aluminum car and how the frame was made from billet? man the crap they went on about that they even had the owner of that company defending himself. its not all bad the south bend forum is good and friendly and so is the antique side also it has a very wide range of some very very skilled people in industry from jewelers and gun smiths to very skilled engineers and business people oh and they always have very good threads in the business forum trust me well worth a read.

i do get around more on the net im on HMEM and i know Big Shed is to... now i cant remember what i came on hear to say... oh yeah me and my tool maker friend are going to see if we can improve the lathe maybe today or tomorrow ill post pic's
