There doesn't seem to be much going on over at his "Workshop Companion". I hope he is OK and just busy.

I am busy, guys, thanks for asking. And yes, I have been making some contributions to the PowerPro. Designed the logo, for one thing. There's not a lot going on at
http://www.WorkshopCompanion.com mainly because my other site,
http://www.Wright-Brothers.org has been swamped. Every year the NHS hosts a nationwide competition called "History Day" -- social studies' answer to the science fairs. This year their theme is "Innovation," so every school kid in America has been pestering me for interviews and information on the Wright brothers. Since I have a soft spot for kids, as do a lot of you, I imagine you guys will forgive me while I spend some time with the up-and-coming generation.
By the way, if any of you have kids or grandkids that are doing reports or projects on the Wright brothers, tell them to go here:
http://www.wright-brothers.org/Informat ... _Intro.htm . Lots of good stuff.
With all good wishes,

Nick, glad to hear you are still "on the job" with the new headstock. Thanks for sharing the other site, I've always enjoyed those old machines that "didn't fly". What a HOOT! Some of them look like some of my projects.

My 'favorite' is the one with the reciprocating(vertically) rotor with the flapping vanes!:rolleyes:
