    Can you still buy a new English wheel or do you have to hunt down a used one?
    My Dad had one in his shop for making aircraft parts but it got "lost" (read as...sold for beer money) when Dad died and my idiot brother cleaned out the shop.

    Blonde left Chicago, bound for sunny FL....Down around Champaign, she spied this other blonde.
    Sitting in the middle of the corn field; in a rowboat, just paddling away.
    Locks the Caddy down; leaps out, gathers her skirt up a little and shouts:
    It is people like you that give us a bad name, and if I could swim I'd come out there and whip your ###"

    1 picture, 16 unspoken words......
    Sees pandemic coming, confronts it incorrectly, observes it disappearing.
    Face wipe, contemplating the after end fallout.

    I don’t run a lot of mountains anymore.
    Monteagle is the biggest one and it’s nothing, but inexperienced guys use one of the two ramps all the time.
    As long as you respect the roads, that’ll not happen

    Careful..... Good preacher once told me GOD added to your allotted time, an amount equal to the time you spent hunting and fishing. Might want to book a safari or 2, couldn't hurt.

    Didn't have ramps when Frank Ashcraft and I bailed off it in the middle 50's. Nor was it 4 lane divided.
    Nor did it have the Brake Check parking either. It was a GREAT respect teacher for Tehachapi and Grants Pass in snow in 58 tho.

    It's irrelevant since they probably do not care.

    That one from JEGS looks an awful lot like the Harbor Frieght one, except 48.00 more.
    If I've not done something before I tend to start with something I can afford to walk away from, bought my used forge (coal) for that reason and it's gotten ALOT of use and not all for blacksmith type work.
