Quite allright McGyver, I don't take offense at any of it, I just know these topics spur strong feelings on the boards and was more letting Ron know than anything.
BTW, I've come across several of your projects lately that looked really cool. for example, your sharpening jig projects and some of your CNC work. Please keep up the great postings. I'm very inspired by it all.
Right now I'm tied up with Widgitmaster's Kurt vise stop gizmo. Fussed and fumed for a bit before deciding I had to make one. I note that you use the collet-style clamps on some of your projects. I've wanted to try making some, so that's what I'll be doing for my vise stop.
When I get done with that, I will probably start building a sheet metal pan brake (I told you I had come across your postings!). I like the picture you posted over on HSM so much I tracked down the book the brake originally appeared in. Looks straightforward to build, and I've got the steel ordered already. Guess what I want to use it for? Enclosure work for my CNC. Now having seen your enclosure post, it does seem like this is a small world that just turns round and round on very similar thought processes!
After seeing all these common threads I finally just looked through all the posts you and Widgitmaster had made. Just trying to get some ideas and knew you guys tend to make high quality posts. Thanks!
Have a great weekend all,
