I assume, that since you are not ranting an raving :D that this is not difficult as it seems to be????

Thanks!

Seems like a lot to remember, but after developing the habit of checking all five, it's just like counting the fingers on one hand. ---------Unless you forget:o

Well, I feel like an idiot .... OK I am an idiot :rolleyes:

I walked away yesterday after getting frustrated. Came in here to whine. Today, getting ready to leave out for California for a week or so. We will be in Big Bear above LA, come on up and enjoy the cool if you want. Anyway. I checked my work .... :rolleyes: Quill lock check, table lock check, bolts on fence tight, check, PH way tube lock, check, table way tube lock, check, spindle set screw on the cutter ..... OH (*&^%^$#.

So lesson learned. Won't have time to ruin more stock until we get back, but lesson learned.

Thanks everyone. The ER is dissembled currently and I am still cleaning her up though her parts are really looking good, she will look brand new when I get done. I will try doing some of this on the ER when I get her back together, cool idea. Great ideas and techniques from all thanks for the help guys! I will try them!

This may be a red flag warning. A systemic problem possibly.

Soooo, that is kind of like a ..... hazing??????:D
Hazing is the practice of rituals and other activities involving harassment, abuse or humiliation used as a way of initiating a person into a group.
Well, I am humiliated. :rolleyes: But it isn't by anything you guys did ... :D

Absolutely not intended as a hazing -- but if it helps..... that's a good thing.

I have tried several times to avoid errors like that - still trying!

Over the years, I've learned the machine is never at fault.

As in WE all have been there, done that(or worse).;)


Aka as in overlooking the most direct cause of the problem ourselves.

I was a bit of a Rock and Roll fan as in "It's Only Rock 'N' Roll (But I Like It)". I got married in the 70's, sobered, and listened to the words. Insane! I listen to my neighbor's occasionally when he works outside now. When I get sick of it I turn on another Shopsmith or plane something.

I have played saxophone for 50 years, classically trained and did the jazz junk, RandB, country, etc etc. I finally found my groove a decade or so ago. I really like laid back ethereal music and the "beautiful music" genre(Celtic Woman, Celtic Thunder, Lorina McKennit, etc.). I know it is not for everyone, but I record my sax and synthesizers/keyboards for myself, I have some very limited downloadable stuff on the Internet, if someone else likes it, great, but it is recorded for me .... :) I could just not get into the screaming that became rock in the 70's. The do wap era was great as was the early country/western (Marty Robbins, Merl, Willie, Jim Ed Brown, etc.). Still listen to the old stuff occasionally, Hell I am just glad I can still hear .... :D
