BTW, has anyone heard from Dave, or is he still out to sea? (He took a job
as a commercial sailor)

I had read that back when it was first put up by Dave, and just
stumbled apont it again a few weeks ago and read it again. One of the
great bits of common sense concerning HSM machines, IMHO. It is sort
of like something I read on one of the microscopy sites (microscope
guys are like machine guys, always trying to get that "next little
bit"...) where one guy said that the "best microscope in the world" is
the one that you actually have. Some goes for lathes and such.

AL A.

Yeah, Karl - I was wondering about that myself.

Yeah the gentleman that gave us the link is a retired airline pilot
(National, I think) and a life long builder of small aircraft engines.
Notice I didn't say model "aircraft". I wouldn't want to use a phrase that
might possibly impugn Dirk Tollenor's sense of craftsmanship. He makes
small aircraft engines, suitable for model aircraft use.

He's popped up a couple of times on the Practical Machinist website that
Jim Rozen and Harold Vordos have mentioned here.

And the ever-popular:

and likewise:

I would have had more, but I put some kroil on my keyboard
and all the molecules in the keys came unstuck and the
letters all fell off.

Or something.

He's shown up a few times in the past several months on another MW forum.
