Nelson or any other interested party,
I have some files from the old Rec.Crafts.Metalworking. For those of you who don't know, back in the day this was the Usenet spot where metalworking types went to get information, blow off steam or just communicate with other like minded folks. On this list was a fellow named Robert Bastow who went by the moniker "T-Nut". He was a wealth of machine shop information and just one hell of a fine fellow. One day we learned that he died of cancer. That day I copied down all his posts in hopes of doing something with them. That was about 10 years ago and I still haven't done anything with this data. I am hoping that I find someone to organize the information and make it more useful for all.
What I have is a 9Meg Word file that is just too big to send via email. In the file is a ton of information on machining, gunsmithing, automobiles and all sorts of topics. If anyone is interested, I can figure out a way to get the file to them. This is free to anyone who will actually do something with the file to make it more usable and available to the public. Since it was pulled from the Usenet, I doubt that there would be any copyright or legal issues to deal with.
PM me anyone is interested
Thanks
Randy
