A famous old adage (though not entirely correct) was that a lathe was the king of tools and could make itself.

My Spanish Moss I just saw has these tiny little flowers on it. The damn English Blackbirds are starting to steal it for nesting material as it's nearly Spring here.

I love my centre lathe, can't imagine not owning one.

American light switches are upside down. You guys really need to get with the program 😂

It's in Australia it was introduced as a fodder........ It's taken over a lof of bushland.

It's super expensive down here...... That much would be around $600+ Its a around $1.00 per gram weight.

A lot cleaner than my corner! 😃

I have old fishing gear through the house as well.

A friend gave me a bucket full and it's taken off. Everytime Jenorado and I see a movie and it's in the South of the USA we see it hanging from trees everywhere!

My wife Jenorado is very understanding.....the engines long ago escaped my steam engine room and started to populate themselves all over the house.

Strangely, I found stir fry all over my bed this morning ...must have been sleep woking again...

Son: "Dad, today I watched someone do 50 pushups, do you think could you do that?" Dad: "of course son, don't want to brag but I could probably watch someone do 100 push-ups"

The door is going to come off its hinges if I put anything else on it

All just to enhance the theme Forty.

Some more accruements for my steam room ceiling and outside door. Its handy having my two sons own a plumbing, electrical & Air Conditioning business. The amount of brass and copper scrap and interesting bits and pieces from century old homes and factories etc that their 27 employees collect over the year is measured in the tonnes. I use my case tumbler that has around 2. 5 kilos of stainless steel pins in it and with a dash of car wash and three tablespoons of citric acid powder and a couple of hours or tumbling, plumbing brass and copper come out like the day they were made and some spray paint on some pieces and then a couple of spray coats of clear varnish to stop dulling of the copper and brass and its then it's .......where to put them!

My wife and I were arguing over the term for a medieval soldier. It was getting late though so we called it a knight.

Did you hear about the constipated math teacher? He worked it out with a pencil.
