Good posts, JD and all, No criticism here, just trying to help you keep
the old ng going.
Your explanation explains. Seems you were asked to demonstrate turning
at a camp to help out the manager, not asked to go camping. All the club
program chairmen on rcw know her problem and can empathize.
How about making a small bungee lathe, dimension lumber held together
with nuts & bolts that can be taken down & put up easily. More in
keeping with camp, takes few tools, uses small green limbs, is safe and
cheap discounting the cost of aspirin and liniment plus loss of a day's
work to recuperate.
Anyway your thread sort of reminds me of a quote from Henry Adams
(great- grandson of John) ..."No one means all he says and yet very few
say all they mean for words are slippery and thought is viscous." Whew!
Guess I need to get out more and go camping, wth or without my carbatec.
Turn to Safety, Arch
Fortiter
