How about you realize that this isn't going to happen and figure out

make the effort to understand what happened, make sure you thank Mark
Wieber and his clique of clueless idiots.

In the meantime, suggest you start discussing topics that advanced,

time.

I don't think beating your own drum counts , Jonnyboy .

Earlier today I fabricated a small aluminum spacer to give me just a
little more adjustment on my chainsaw bar needs a new chain and sprocket ,
but the saw was free so .... Then I used a hammer and wedge both metal to
split the wood I cut with that chainsaw . Yesterday I used the angle grinder
to clean up the mushroomed head of that wedge . In a little while I'm going
out to the shop and make a small rake of metal to clean the ashes out of
the grate in my wood burning stove . I'll be using a welder MIG or TIG ,
haven't decided , bolt cutter , bandsaw , and grinders .
That enough metalworking for ya ? Of course it won't be "advanced" or
"modern" , just good old low-tech hand work ... unless I use the TIG , it's
a modern inverter based machine .



I needed a tool to straighten some damaged BNC connectors. I dug out
some spare air fittings from HF and put this together:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/materre...7636596594884/

Simply pus it into the warped opening and gently roll it around to
straighten the connector's wall. Don't over do it, or you'll create a
sharp lip in the brass.


Cool new electro-pneumatic tool, Mikey.

P.S: You can use an ice pick to perforate and drain the pus.



You don't use a nail gun?

Just a thought. Is sitting at a computer really "metal working" or is
"metal working" getting your hands dirty and actually doing it?

I suspect the later. The bloke that wrote the software that controls
the Mars explorer thingy doesn't claim to be a space explorer.


Ouch , that's gonna leave a mark ...



Not this time. Even a diamond can't scratch 'Grade A stupid'.

I don't -do- "PUSsy warped openings", but I'm sure someone would be
happy to perforate yours with a nail gun. Run an ad on Craigslist.


Oh, I got that Singer 111 for $150 yesterday, with table and a full
$40 roll of black nauga binding. She needs cleaning and oiling, but
she runs mighty fine and quiet. I mention this because I recall you
being one of those on the group who also does industrial sewing.

I'm superior because unlike brain dead idiots like you, snag, etc. are,
I can think on my own and I'm capable of understanding what Mark Wieber
really is.

Losers like you and snag are far too stupid to realize the damage Mark
Wieber has done to this newsgroup. Both of you losers love to get on
your knees and suck Wieber's cock as hard as you can looking for his
approval. You're in good company because this is a newsgroup now
dominated by Mark Wieber's clique of idiots. With continued Wieber dick
sucking, dumb mother****ers like you and snag can quickly get to the
level that Larry Jackass and Tom Gardner have achieved.

Need read the following closely because I've said it before and I'm not
going to say it again, bitches:

I'm not using Google groups to post with at this point. In addition, I
post with my real, full name, unlike total pussies like you who don't or
who use moronic fake names like "snag".

Now that we have the facts out of the way (again), you, snag and the
rest of Mark Wieber's clique of idiots can get back on your knees and
resume sucking Mark Wieber's cock. That's what brain dead losers like
you two do best.

Why are you running a business that was given to you into the ground?

Why has your Ohio Bush website (a sad joke) not been updated in 14
years?

http://www.ohiobrush.com/

Why do you drink like a fish and why are you so out of shape?

http://neme-s.org/Oshkosh_2007/Ohio_Brush/DSC02543.JPG

Why is your factory such a **** hole?

http://neme-s.org/Oshkosh_2007/Ohio_Brush/DSC02519.JPG

Why do you love stay on your knees and suck Mark Weiber's cock?

Why has the largest hardware store on San Diego never heard of Ohio
Brush?

http://www.marshallshardware.com/

Why can't anyone in SoCal get any information or find a place that sells
Ohio Brush products?

Why are you such a pussy?

Why do you lie so much and constantly try and claim I'm a "wife beater"?

Why are you taking up space on this planet?

You and snag don't think independently and both of you idiots depend on
Mark Wieber to do your thinking for you. When you try and think on your
own (which is rare) you end up making complete fools out of yourselves,
like you have above.

Pleas explain to this newsgroup how, if you can't use a CADCAM system to
create surfacing toolpath, that you can get your hands dirty to setup
and machine a part that needs surfacing toolpath to make it. I'll be
waiting for your answer, bitch.

Now that we have the facts out of the way and I've corrected your flawed
thinking, which shows how truly incompetent both you, snag and the rest
of Mark Wieber's clique of idiots are, tell this newsgroup how it feels
to be such a loser with no clues. Does it hurt to be so stupid? Does it
hurt to be made to look like a fool on a constant basis by someone with
20 years of hands on machining job shop experience?

Life is hard. Life is even harder when you're as stupid as you, snag and
the rest of Mark Wieber's clique of idiots are.

Neither of you two morons could machine your way out of a paper bag.

The trouble is every time he gets revived by the outpouring of disgust
for him. I think his wife beating makes most people so sick that they
pipe in about how much he's hated. Why doesn't he get it that most

How about having another drink while you try and pretend you know how to
run a business? Having another drink might also help you to wash the
taste of Wieber's cock out of your mouth.

The reason a fat, drunken, pig like Tom Gardner hates me so much is that
I constantly call him out on his many lies as well as his inability to
run the business he inherited from his parents.

Gardner's out of control drinking has accelerated to the point that I
think 2014 is the year Ohio Brush will finally go tits up.

I do the same, most of the time - successfully ignoring the drivel. Other times, however, it's like when you're driving and you see something ahead that looks like a squashed animal and you know you shouldn't look but you can't help it, and it's really gross, but you looked at it and now it's burned into your memory...

Sometimes I read the crap in this group, and sometimes I get sucked into the vortex of doom that is the world of politics in rcm. And then I look at the clock and, well, life really is too short.

Heh.. some of the OT posters appear to have the same level of intelligence
as roadkill.

When the last few existing fanatics move on, one way or another, it's
possible that RCM could again be a thriving source of metalworking
discussions.

I've got lots of good memories (and saved discussions) of RCM.. pre-gummer,
when the many participants shared metalworking experience freely with few
very prejudicial remarks.

I wouldn't be so sure of that. The people who work "behind the scenes" at NASA and JPL are very proud of their work and consider themselves very much part of the "front line."

Just a thought. Is sitting at a computer really "metal working" or is
"metal working" getting your hands dirty and actually doing it?

I suspect the later. The bloke that wrote the software that controls
the Mars explorer thingy doesn't claim to be a space explorer.

And they call themselves "space explorers"? and post to Usenet site
loudly proclaiming their titles?

I'm not sure what you're looking for here. I'm not aware of any astronauts who post to usenet, nor am I aware of any Mars probe programmers who post to usenet. proclaiming anything.

However, space exploration is a team effort, and every member of the team is entitled to refer to himself as a team member.

If you are asking me whether Jon Banquer in particular is a machinist, that's a whole different question.
