    Then there's the hyperverse switch that throws the blank onto the woodpile and rebarks it.

    Hi,
    They are all coming through a day late. I wonder why the Americans make so much more of all fool's than any one else?



    It follows I suppose.

    My lathe must be faulty - it didn't work for me. Maybe it's the new motor & VFD I installed.
