Thanks for posting this info, RB. Some of the authors used to frequent
this newsgroup, but not anymore.

My experience with RCM leads me to believe it's because of all the
non-metalworking bull**** and worthless gossip getting posted here day
after day.

Here is the origin:

http://bbs.homeshopmachinist.net/arc...hp/t-7790.html

I know that at least a couple of these guys are a wealth of practical
information.

John Stevenson and Marv Klotz, just to mention a couple of them. Looking
up articles or websites of these guys will reveal lots of great info.
I believe John could write volumes about any number of ways to fabricate
almost any part, and Marv has a site with free software for solving lots
of metalworking problems/puzzles.

Bill, thanks for adding that attribution. I know of Marv and his site,
need to revisit since my interests have changed since the last visit.
I don't know that I've seen John's site, but I'll look for it.
