Off Topic but I just had to share.... my new apprentice just finished doing the shaping of a steel bucker (small shield) lots of finish work to go but it's cool. I told him he has a future in the handmade hubcap industry or in the UFO film model industry.... he glared....

Ok, What is THIS Monstrosity? Is this a SP? At only $50 it sounds like a bargain for Rube Goldberg or a student of his. Any ideas what it was used for? I would just LOVE to see this machine in action!!! If I was closer I would get this. I would find the money and time to figure it out. ... I need help. I am not well.

Mine too, I'm in a cold sweat over here! If I lived close enough, I would be sleeping on the couch tonight. That is, if I got any sleep playing with my new toy! :D That thing is SPECTACULAR!!! I honestly would trade any machine I had for it. That's CRAZY TALK!!! I am really ill. Will someone go get it for me? The couch isn't all that bad.....

I have been trying to figure out a road trip ever since I laid eyes on it. Makes me itchy, too, Cathy. Wouldn't it be fun???
