Good news just keeps coming my way almost everyday now. The universe likes me
Drinking and WandaVision with the girls
So I get a text just a bit ago from Lucas
Tightened the jibs on the slide and sharpened the tool, pretty good surface finish now.
I said, I need to test fit the second one we started trimming on. Have one here uncut, one cut by someone else on the base and the one we took 0.015 off of the base. Cutting more jugs tonight or you done?
He had to run earlier and do something for his girl at 8pm.

Let's talk tomorrow, I just wanted to see if I could get it better. That *s-word was driving me nuts, glad it's doable.
We were on one of the lathes he just got set back up from a bunch of work on it. Some scrapping, things all fixed up on it, cleaned and still needs one plastic gear for the feed drive, one or two ways redone ground on the surface grinder that was just refinished and new everything in the motor. Allen set screw large hand crank on the main drive, cool. Very nice tool that surface grinder with so many diamond cutters and stones he has new for it. I'm just loving this deal. So much easier than mailing stuff or waiting on my other machinist for weeks or months.
