Keep 'em coming Arch. I never read blogs, and don't care to start.
Over on the far right of the message listing is the size of the post.
If it's long I can just skip it if I'm too tired to read it. Even the
longest text post here is probably much shorter than even a simple web
page, with all the various graphics and pictures and whazzat that seems
to go with them. They're on topic, they're amusing, and they elicit a
sense of camaraderie w/in the group. How droll this would be if it was
strictly 'rub the bevel'.

What him say.

Anyway, that's my .02 worth, and since I've been here since the
inception, adjusted for inflation, it's present value is at least
$.05238 (just over a nickel for the math impared)...

Truly? Wow, that's a long time. I'm a relative teenager at only 5 years
compared to your time here.

Tips fer Turnin': Place a sign, easily seen as you switch on your lathe, warning you to remove any and all rings from your fingers. Called degloving, extended hardware can grab your ring and rip it off your finger. A pic for the strong of stomach: www.itim.nsw.gov.au/go/objectid/2A3AC703-1321-1C29-70B067DC88E16BFC/index.cfm

Besides, rings can easily mar the surface of a turning as you check for finished smoothness.
