up the motor & wiring.


Keep that space behind it. It is helpful when working with the
taper attachment, and when cleaning the chip tray.


Yes, I would like to ... but the demands of time-sharing the garage may
require me to move it back at least some. I'll certainly leave enough space
to get to the taper attachment.

The aim of untold millions is to be free to do exactly as they choose
and for someone else to pay when things go wrong.

In the past few decades, a peculiar and distinctive psychology
has emerged in England. Gone are the civility, sturdy independence,
and admirable stoicism that carried the English through the war years
.. It has been replaced by a constant whine of excuses, complaints,
and special pleading. The collapse of the British character has been
as swift and complete as the collapse of British power.
