this is a fun reference book: the downside is that the printing is so darn small. interestingly, wooden spars were carved and wired to the tie rods to cut down on cavitation. lots of good info for early ford speedsters.

let's just say if there were a resume sub-forum, I think it might have quite a few submissions. it's okay if I have an opinion, isn't it? you are entitled to your own.

but isn't it so obvious that there are those which would have us drink their kool-aid? c'mon, now . . .

glad you haven't shelved it. the annealing process makes it all the more interesting.

I think this is what it's all about

reminds me of the Twilight Zone episodes where all the people are gone but one.

i really hope i never sit next to you guys in the movie theater. when i pay my $$$, i am entitled to suspend disbelief for 90 minutes.

let's not be getting confused by allowing the "f" word into the conversation. how could I ever explain to my cousin (who got me hooked on models when I was 6 - yes, 55 years ago) that he was so wrong to have all those shelves covered with unpainted, box stock, models? he's crank out a kit with fingernail clippers and an emery board, never even touching a paint brush, in about an hour and a half on a rainy afternoon. now, i'll have to call him and explain we never really did have as much fun as we thought and our youth was indeed wasted!

see above comments

where'd you get a kit for 8 bucks?

can a kitchen exhaust fan be used? seems like it would work and save some fabrication. http://www.homedepot.com/p/NuTone-ACS-Series-30-in-Convertible-Range-Hood-in-White-ACS30WW/204073094#.UcW8N4zD_4Y

I have (2) basically new Optivisors free for postage reimbursement if anyone wants them. a #4 & #10. complete units, not just the lens. first PM gets them.

Midwest Products makes plywood as thin as 1/64", so you could use the real McCoy. http://www.midwestproducts.com/store/products/693542e7-e110-4a12-89d0-df140e159d4a/1/Birch_Plywood.aspx

maybe they don't build as an obsession, but just as a diversion from a thousand other things in their lives?

bummer

at the model railroad division of Southpier Enterprises, we use it to clean brass and de-fuzz stripwood after it's been treated with weathering solution or painted. keep it on the bench and the uses will present themselves.

probably keeping that ball valve handle from jabbing him in the head
