Buying stuff for nothing is a skill. *Maybe not the same as your
skills, but a skill never the less.

Thanks.

Converting a Bridgeport milling machine to Linux is also a skill.

And yapping on forums about "having access to a friend's shop" is not
a skill.

As for single point threading, my current problem is that the spindle
has to be on brake. However, spindle brake right now is tied to
estop. It only activates when the mill is e-stopped, and deactivates
when the mill is out of estop. Fixing that requires me to spend a
considerable time writing emc2 logic statements (to interlock brake
and estop and spindle running safely). I do not have time for this
right now.

iggy has very few metalworking or welding skills even after many years
of posting here. He's a butcher/hack with no clues.

Gaining skills means paying your dues. iggy refuses to pay his dues
and he has no respect for others such as Precision Machinist. iggy has
kill filled Precision Machinist who, unlike Mark Wieber, refuses to
coddle and spoon feed iggy. The sad fact is that iggy can't handle
anyone who tells him the truth about his ****ed up approach to
metalworking and welding. He's on a series ego trip that for years has
prevented him from properly learning and acquiring the needed
metalworking and welding skills and it shows in almost every post iggy
makes.
