It was a thing of beauty, knurled knobs an levers and zurks everywhere they could put them. It had a chuck the size of my child's head. it weighed 800 lbs. I bought it from an old architectural model shop. As a sculptor, I only used it for the odd collette or bit of custom hardware. Truth be told, it was more a beautiful artifact than a daily work mate. During my divorce I had to get rid of it. Try as I might, I couldn't find a buyer for it in this digital age of automation and computer numeric control. I ended up selling it for scrap, a tragedy that I will lament till my last day.mikefontana1@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08736543213236110681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23925148.post-59548404589044860332011-06-30T06:22:04.067-04:002011-06-30T06:22:04.067-04:00No footnote please, just precision and sometimes e...No footnote please, just precision and sometimes even disregard comments...Thérèsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14354559064351144704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23925148.post-17020920474469676682011-06-30T00:11:33.341-04:002011-06-30T00:11:33.341-04:00time traveler - of course you are right.

The story was not to imply that I was turning metal in the photo - perhaps I should have added a footnote.Brian Dubéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12579167361224067819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23925148.post-50180384787928762612011-06-29T21:59:13.146-04:002011-06-29T21:59:13.146-04:00OK--Maybe I'm wrong but it looks to me like th...OK--Maybe I'm wrong but it looks to me like that is plastic and not metal--the shavings (chips)seem like they haven't been discolored by machineing and they appear light enough to stick to the tool holder..I got to know-am I right or wrong??time travelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15372849739601794431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23925148.post-45989985265866355692011-06-29T19:37:29.267-04:002011-06-29T19:37:29.267-04:00What you are expressing sounds almost Like a Buddh...What you are expressing sounds almost Like a Buddhist perspective...happiness, bliss, joy from the small things in life. Of course it took a huge amount of work to bring yourself to that moment when you measure that piece of metal, but ahhhh...each piece, with its perfection, brings delight. Thanks for sharing that expanded energy with us, and the world.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00769298443717603329noreply@blogger.com
