metalworking these days.

Thanks. I have a lot of political opinions, but I try to keep some
balance and write about metal related fun stuff more often than about
political things.

I think of this newsgroup as a club of like minded people, when it
comes to interest in machining and various projects, and also as a
place where I can go for advice.
