I haven't posted in a long time, but I felt like I should return to let people know about something they might find interesting. I've been watching a reality show called "Titans of CNC," which is about an ex-con who owns a CNC machine shop. He spent a large part of one episode at the Lie-Nielsen factory, talking to the owner. Interesting stuff, if you're a machinist OR woodworker.
The show is kind of obscure, but DirecTV has it.
Incidentally, if anyone wants several tons of free live oak trunks, I'm the man to talk to. Irma did a number on my farm. All you have to do is cut it and take it. Somehow I don't think I'll get any takers. Too bad it's not walnut!
