We have been busy scrounging Craigs list this week, for some donor blocks and heads to practice grinding and drilling on. Spent several hours on ENCO online yesterday ordering aircraft drills, DRAPS and taps and a stick of bronze to make piston squirters out of. These we will document and post.
Jeez I wish I had done what I thought about when I was in high school. Join the Navy upon graduation, become a machinist mate; then I would know about these metal working things. What does what, how to do this and that, instead of having to call Terry Mouer or Bill Ratcliff and/or reinvent the wheel. But it does keep me off the street and in the shop, Linda aka "the parts check signer", very affectionatley known as the "House Nazi" knows where I am. This has worked for 28 years and we just celebrated so on the 30th.
