GK - just so everyone is up to speed - it either needs years of dedicated "remaking" or it needs promptly to go to scrap. I just ran out of the dedicated remaking time.
Eighty-second birthday is just around the corner
I will say John, that your Greaves Klushman lathe project was always
a favorite of mine to see when you posted updates. So much thought
went into your fixes. I know how fun that is. Most people do not
understand that thinking and using your brain is fun. Humans get
endorphins when they think. A thinkers high, if you will entertain
the expression. I mean, I do. Maybe the apartment dwellers and
computer game players get their kicks another way. But for me,
thinking is pure joy. That is why I have so many machines in my
shop. Hopefully more functional machines as I finish my many
projects. Ha ! Perhaps the people who reject intellectual things
just don't get it. (Of which there are many in this world).
I must tell you John, you are a large part of the influence of
why I ended up buying my Pratt Whitney 2A. And a small part of
the influence of why I ended up buying my Pratt Whitney 12C.
Smart people play with smart toys. Any fool can be good at
playing Xbox. It takes some dedication to build a shop and
play machine hunter for years on end, until you finally win ! ! !
Thanks John and I hope someone awesome buys your GK lathe.
