First I apologize to everyone on the list. Bill has done me such a huge favor that most of you will never understand the depth of my humility. Bill and a few of his machinist buddies went out of their respective ways to create a mill I could use for the rest of my short life. His gang completely redid the whole machine to better than new and I am so appreciative of his friendship too. When I first disclosed that the mill was on the way we did not know that the final person in the chain would end up being the biggest stumbling block to the whole project. Apparently the driver of the big truck with it inside decided it would be a good idea to drink and pull out a shotgun on a man in Louisana. He ended up in jail and did a 30 day stint. When he got out he just left the truck and contents impounded and flew home. So Bill being the man he is has actually gone to a judge, gotten release papers for his freight and went all the way to louisana to retrieve the machine before it was sold as uncalled freight. In the mean time I had a couple of minor medical disasters that sent me to the hospital for most of June, so Bill has agreed that when I am well enough to do it he will bring it personally from his shop to mine. I truly apologize for tickling everyones appetite and not following up further with pics and projects. As most of you know I had a medical disaster in 2009 that left me disabled and on a fixed income, so were it not for Bill's generosity and help I would probably have had to remain mill-less for the rest of my days. Imagine if you will a 260 pound Iron worker/welder who has been reduced to a wheel chair. It aint fun and it aint der sissies either. I truly hope to rebound from the most recent issues ad return to being in my shop tinkering again soon.
Thanks!!!!
Bob
