There is one thing that counts in George's favour. He makes everybody else look good

RJ,

Sorry you wont' be moderating, and that you probably won't be writing more history about how your novel ideas came to support Newbould Precision Products. You did a super job, and the notes here reflect how much people enjoyed this forum.

As for the 78/36 thing, "hale and hearty" indeed! Sir, I salute you!

All the best

Thanks. I will be writing more on the history, including up-to-date progress, but it has to take a back seat to getting the wife up to speed and re-energizing my sleepy product line. I look forward to that. I've been coasting for too many years.

Gordon,

Normally, I wouldn't reply to such, fear of a lockdown, but all you CAN do is stroke me.

Had it not been already quoted, I would have deleted my last, I probably should not have posted it. I did, some of you did quote it, I can't retract it. That is not in any way an apology, I still don't like you, and that you have a vendetta with me, so be it.

You wanna be first in line with all them people who would like to take a swing at me? Blow hard!

RJ,

Good for you, with the young chick. My Dad was 28 years older than my Mother. That I stroke you is simply the difference in your age. Money is the big difference. My Dad was a coal miner, nothing to leave after death. Not even eligible for SS benefits for we kids.

Gordon,

You want an address, and you want to be first in line, I will give it to you. I don't think there are ALL that many who want to punch me out. YOU, obviously think you do.

Next time you take "holiday", and you come here, let me know in advance, so I do not get "sucker punched". I would not put it past you.

You may just POSSIBLY be the only person ON this Board who has major issues with me.

Keep posting what you do. I don't really care.

George

I think we need to get back to the original post by RJ, read a few of the better comments by the non combatants and then realise how far off topic we now are. Cassius Clay and Sonny Liston have taken over and ruined a good mans retirement note, any minute now I expect the my dad is bigger than your dad speech. I hope the people involved are taking their medication regularly

I agree with you so I'm putting George on "ignore". He'll be the first, and hopefully last person I do that with but he'll probably be pleased that I'm doing so as he'll take it as a compliment.

Sorry to hear about your Mom's predicamant. That could not have been pleasant for any of you.

I don't have a pile of money to leave, nor would I want to. What I do hope to provide her with, is a good business and the skills necessary to run it. IMHO, that is better than a normal pile of money. She is quite capable of earning a decent living even without the business.

When we first started communicating 12+ years ago, I told her she was way too young for me and that I would try to help her find someone her own age. The more we got to know each other, the more the age gap disappeared. Now, it's as if we're the same.

I'm a lucky man. (She says that she's lucky too.) We have a surprisingly good marriage, for which I'm thankful.

I'd vote *you* off the island in a heartbeat. Gordon is sometimes annoying and I certainly don't always agree with him, but you're just an incoherent, bad mannered, offensive prick.

PDW

I know I can be annoying but too many try too hard not to offend that they never say (or write) what they really feel or think. I'd wonder what I was doing wrong if some agreed with me all the time

It's one of the things I enjoy most about PM and that is the freedom given to all opinions. As already mentioned gmatov is the only one I've ever put on "ignore" and for the reasons you gave. OMG do we agree on this?

Your patience, empathy, and good manners are what made you an awesome moderator.
Mine expired and I was not even his target.

Thanks once again!

That shield is the greatest, been using it for years. I plan to put a small window in it with safety glass.

Well - that IS short!

I had to look again as I just assumed it was made from plexiglass! If you have to look over, around or below to see what's coming then it's too late.

You only look over it just before you start a cut that throws chips. Once you're ready to cut, you put the aluminum shield close to the cutter and it blocks the chips, but you're not seeing the cutter. That works, but it would be better to be able to actually see the cutter. I'll be using laminated auto glass for the window. Any of the plastics get melted by hot chips and it gets hard to see thru them once they get enough marks on them.

I'd make the whole thing of the 1/4" laminated glass but it would be too heavy to hold for any length of time.

Until you get around to making one out of laminated glass then you can make many from a sheet of plexiglass. Yes plexiglass doesn't like really hot chips getting bounced off it but neither does the human head.

When posssible, rather than holding anything, how about a guard that can be attached to the machine with a magnet or two to avoid direct hits from chips?

What you have now is better than nothing but I'm surprised you didn't come up with something better a long time ago. You could just as well be using a cheap table tennis bat at present At least she is wearing safety goggles
