Could you use a 6x 24 or so like a South Bend or something similar?


Probably, but money is the real issue right now. I am trying to
finish some repairs on the house to make it easier for me to move
around, and my small VA pension is making that difficult.

I have access to small lathes now and then. I clean out factories, set
up factories, fix machinery in factories...and occasionally find such
items.

Ill keep my eyes open for something for you. You might..might have to
pay freight...but Ill see what I can do about helping you out with that
as well.

Dont hold your breath..but Im still a pretty good scrounger so finding
you something may be possible.
