speakin' of shops and building, put together a new dust collection box that goes around my lathe, finished it with a "custom" collection port (mounted an old shredder paper collector), hole-sawed a place for my vacuum hose to come up thru table into box . works like a champ. can't afford a real dust collection system and this is better than nothing!
morning maestro....

It has been a challenge (to say the least), but I think I'm almost there. Both sizes.

Diggin Jiggin very nice stuff. That is a funny pattern to paint as it looks like you're painting a cow till you put the scales on it. One of those don't be afraid to make it look stupid first to make it look good later deals.

How slow will they swim?
I can get lipless swimmers to swim but not at a crawl, roughly at darter speed. |

Don't know yet, Pete. The ones I've tried on my own in the past have sucked. Now, however, Billy lent me an original medium Musso (which I have not swum). There are a lot of subtleties to it, and copying it has been a learning experience, but I think I've got it and will be able to test prototypes pretty soon. |
