    Thanks Jerry Mercantel for the Iron Maiden

    Gloat warning: Just received my JM aluminum chuck plate in the mail. Can't wait to mount some of the mesquite he included 'pro bono'. These chuck plates are straightforward to make, but getting all the spikes centered and adjustable is a pain for me. When these really take off, I'm planning to resell mine for a mint...

  2. Congrats Prashun.......you will find this a great way to mount blanks in order to turn the tenon, and odd shaped wood.........I love mine! Jerry's innovation here is very useful!
    Remember, in a moments time, everything can change!

    Vision - not just seeing what is, but seeing what can be!

    We want...information. Information. Information. Who are you? The new number two. Who is number one? You are number six. I am not a number, I am a free man!

    (This isn't as random as it may sound, btw...)

    I'm sorry, Jerry. I was having a little fun. In the title of Prashun's thread, he mentions an Iron Maiden. Iron Maiden was also the name of a heavy metal rock band that started back in 1975 and is still going strong today.

    Two Minutes To Midnight was one of their "on radio" hits. The my second post of this thread (while not original "lyrics", but rather a clip from a TV show) was the beginning of one of their biggest songs from 1982.

    I was taking a guess that someone would have been making the connection between my posts and what was in the thread title...but I suppose they both went unnoticed.

    Sorry for being cryptic.

    You're ok Mike. Like I said , I'm a little slow, and if I need a definition or explanation, I'll ask. I've probably heard it a million times, but it's all background noise to me. I actually thought you were smoking something like we did way back in those days. .......... Jerry (in Tucson)

    I'm familiar from Somewhere In Time and before, but nothing later. I've only seen them once "Somewhere On Tour" but I still consider myself a fan.

    I knew there had to be at least one Maiden fan here on the forum. One of the guys here (can't think of who off the top of my head...think he's a flatboarder), has a Judas Priest album cover as his avatar! Too cool...
