I feel like a voyeur or something.

yep it's true. thedadfisherman sold it to me for 50 bucks.
3/4 horse 4 speed. it's on 3000 rpm's now. seems to work very well at that speed although i havent tried the other speeds not sure if i need to?
i capesams'd one of my grandfathers old files into a chisle. that seems to work fine. just getting the hang of the thing now even tried an offcenter turn that came out reel nice.
had a good blowout the other night too, so got the first wood explosion out of the way. not as bad as i thought it would hurt.
mostly playing arround with some pine before i go ruining a bunch of honduran mahogany i got kicking arround.and i got a few blocks from slip a while back.
gotta find someplace strong to mount it 'cause the motor assm. flex's when you tighten the blank in there.
just gotta watch the old fingers and i should be fine

it's in front of the exaust fan now. that sux the dust right out but i gotta make some kinda rig for the shop vac so there ain't wood chips all over the bodyshop.

May all of Your teeth fall out cept one and that one has a tooth ache.
May You loose all your plugs on blue fish and have none left only to see a school of 50's pounding the white water.
May U catch a 40lb bass and unhook it and drop it in the water
May You sniff a camels back side while it has to toot.
please slide your plugs under a mac truck and back over them
Im going to gang ho You.
