The weather isn't making huge promises, but the white stuff has missed us
(so far). That faint thumping sound? Glove padded knuckles on wood.

So do I. But I bought a BS-1 table for one of my milling machines that
was supposed to be in CA and 4 days away. A week ago but I guess its
stuck in the storm someplace. Gonna stepper motorize the main axle and
carve some gears maybe. Probably have to rig a skyhook to put it on the
G0704's table though, heavy gizmo. Its already too much fun for my back
wrestling the 8" 4 jaw onto the lathe & no place to put a skyhook since
the garage door crosses over it. Its only 40 some lbs. This BS-1 may top
100 lbs.

The Morgantown store, that I've not managed to physically locate, claimed
to have all the stuff I got from newegg, but after loading up the cart,
refused to respond for a checkout. Twould only have saved me less than
$20 though.
Thanks & take care now.
