JT, I'm so sorry..
I had company for the last two weeks and have only today had a chance to sit
down here and read a multitude of posts.
Many of which offered so much information I have not really had the time to
study them let alone reply to.

Here's a big fat hug from an oldish Irish woman, for all of the information
you offered... and I will have a look at it, I promise!

I have been up to my ears in people and projects.

Please, remove your curse, and forgive my insensitivity.

Kate

Oh hush now, play nice.

Hmm, let me see now. On the 19th you ask for some info on lathes,
and I quite, in part:
"On the ABPW group it was suggested that a mini lathe might be made from
a sewing machine motor with a foot pedal control. Do any of you have an
idea how something like that could be made, or perhaps a link to a
layout?

I thereupon proceeded to provide you a link with 170,000 hits
regarding homemade lathe plans. For that, I get told to hush. And to
play nice.

Not that I was expecting a gush of gratitude, but given a response
like yours, if I were you I wouldn't count on a flood of assistance from
me in the future. And, to show that I do play nice, here's a blessing
upon you and your house - may the Woodworking Gods **** in your wood
glue. You have a nice next life.

I'll give you a tip, and no thanks needed. Next time someone is
doing something to help you, don't tell them to hush.
