Mike;

I know for sure that you can do the same thing with a hammer while
putting staples on a new garage- door opener wiring. Whoever designed a
gear reduction with plastic gears? The old unit wasn't working-- it was
full of plastic fuzz. Arrgghhh.

Man ... just when you think you have a plan....

I bought a new English wheel from Mettler Bros. at PRI and was really
into
playing with it... decided to spend the whole day trying to mash my
fingers...
got a fair start and even annealed some aluminum... beat on it.. wheeled
it
out... it was just about to start looking like a head rest fairing
when.....
the cabinet guy called and told me the doors were available for painting
today.... Dang Jerk... couldn't have waited until say MONDAY?  soooooooo
much for the wholly wasted plans of mice and men.
