look ma! no stitches...!


yup...
for the first time since i almost took my head off with a rather large piece of aluminum, i am back working on the lathe...a little leery but i'm in there giving it a go - and have been fine thus far...i had to turn down a bunch of legs for the platform thing i'm making for the b.c. sports hall of fame....48 legs to be exact...takes some time it does....and i had to turn the legs for the headquarter cash desk a week or so ago...and i still have my head and all my fingers...
with the help of the garbs we've gotten this thing together in record time - especially since there was world series baseball to be watched and a job i've had to go to every day....and ...well, tomorrow i will set this job free and look for the next one...

i need a shower.

i love you.

the platforms i'm making. each one is 2' x 8', joins the other to make a full 4' x 8' sheet, with welded pockets for the aluminum legs to go into and held with set screws...fancy. they want to be able to store it flat so everything had to be able to come apart...lots of nuts and bolts and lathe and welding action.

a bucket full of legs.
