Any word yet?

[Steve Ashton]

One of the ideas was to make my book available as a digital copy, or on a thumb drive, as both a word document and a pdf.

A person pays for the book and I mail them the thumb drive if they prefer, or send a link to where it is stored on the web.

The original idea was to print copies that were similarly spiral bound like Barb's book that lay flat.

I had my 20 year old, Chinese lathe die on me and the part that failed would cost more to remake that the machine was worth. So I broke down and bought a new lathe/mill with DRO.
I am having so much fun with this thing that I should be locked up.

(yes, I'm in blue jeans. You don't play with spinning machinery in loose clothing.)



I am having so much fun working to tolerances of up to .001".
I've even bought a powder coating set-up and a laser engraver.



I have a batch of winders that just must go out. They are all paid for and customers are waiting.

Maybe I'll spend a few evenings on the book if I can keep awake.
