Yeah, but if I was well equipped, I would get out my "Metalworking for
Dummies - the translation guide" book before I read posts. I can't
understand a bunch of this stuff. I am glad you all do! :-)

I haven't found anything better than metalmeet and RCM.

Hi. Thank you very much. I will check them out. I can't understand a good
bit of what is discussed here, though I want to. It's hard to follow along
when you don't speak the language. :-)

So ask! The cool thing about ignorance is that, unlike stupidity, it's curable.

I have several metalworking related questions, and I am trying not to wear
out my welcome. :-)

Well, post them all in one message, number.
Those that can answer intelligently will address them.
The rest of us will make up somthing plausible

And ignorance is nothing to be ashamed of. Unless it's deliberate.

These sites are also very good:

http://www-me.mit.edu/Lectures/Machi...s/outline.html

If you feel comfortable with posting your location, you might find other
hobbyists in your area that would be willing to show you some of the basics
in person.

IMHO, posting one question per post is better than several in one post.
Discussions here get sidetracked enough as it is.

Hi Mike, I'm not the OP but I'm really interested in learning more about
metalwork (I've done some blacksmithing and basic armor making for middle
ages re-enactment) and I'm particularly interested in casting and machine
work. If there's anyone reading from the KC area, I'm in Warrensburg and
I'm nice to machines. (and people)

Sort of self-referential but it works for me...

http://groups.google.com/group/rec.c...lworking?hl=en

In the "Search this Group" box, put what you
are specifically interested in.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I appreciate them all!

I'll vote for that.

I often say that I learn more from this group than Home Shop Machinist...

Only possible exception is Machinery's Handbook.

Oh. And, as you see, I suggest the subject be changed to:
"Metalworking for Smarties".
