Google man Google 1911 grips

from wikipedia:
The M1911 is a single-action, semi-automatic, magazine-fed, and recoil-operated handgun chambered for the .45 ACP cartridge.[1] John M. Browning designed the firearm which was the standard-issue side arm for the United States armed forces from 1911 to 1985.

It seems like the coffee maker function on mine isn't functioning correctly...must be some gummy wood residue in the temperature gears.:D

Are you suggesting only coffee drinkers should use Shopsmith equipment:confused:

I didn't know there was a coffee maker SPT! That would be useful indeed.

Here in California, we call that humor.
I strongly suggest a daily dose, (along with a cuppa Joe)
