Default Machining a 5# chunk of Fruit cake

http://www.collinstreet.com/

These are to kill for. Real nuts, Real fruit.
I bought a large one for work one year - I was the Engineering Manager -
what did I know - by lunch it was gone. I think it was a 7 pound size.

The President - a Greek - bought them the next year.

Just ship it here; I like the stuff.



Actually..so do I. The last one I got, I took out to the Walker Turner
bandsaw, and cut into neat 3/8" slices, then picked out a good book
and pigged out on fruit cake and milk.

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire.
Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you
for torturing the cat." Gunner
