I never did get that stupid thing to cut a decent joint, and I still feel a little guilty for selling it on ebay. (Sorry if you are the one who bought the stupid thing)
    I had one of those jigs and made it work a couple of times to make boxes. Sold it to someone on the Creek and never got paid for it. I guess I did get what it was worth, though.

    I patronize several very good Mexican restaurants here in the Minneapolis area. Just because a Mexican restaurant isn't in the southwest doesn't automatically mean it is bad. Should we not eat at any Chinese restaurants just because they are nowhere geographically close to China?

    Being in rural Ontario Canada, my only experience with Mexican food is via their phone company - Taco Bell...
    Epilog 24TT(somewhere between 35-45 watts), CorelX4, Photograv(the old one, it works!), HotStamping, Pantograph, Vulcanizer, PolymerPlatemaker, Sandblasting Cabinet, and a 30 year collection of Assorted 'Junque'

    Every time you make a typo, the errorists win

    I Have to think outside the box.. I don't fit in it anymore

    Experience is a wonderful thing.
    It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

    Every silver lining has a cloud around it

    Been to a Mexican restaurant in a CO ski town, lousy compared to SoCal.

    Also been to a Japanese restaurant at another ski area. Decent, but not an Asian in sight. Sat near the kitchen entry, mostly Latino cooks. Still cracks me up.

    Chinese food in the middle of Wales. Not good. My theory is all the good cooks worked in London, bad ones banished to the hinterlands.... :-/
