You made my day!

I'm glad to hear that someone besides myself, has "set backs." Yesterday I was blanking out a knife to show a new maker how fast I could do it. "Showing off!" My KMG has a three 3 horsepower motor and I was using all it had to "claw out" the profile. Usually I tape my finger joints so I can detect the 36 grit belt before it "gets me." I didn't do it this time and sure enough, it bit me. The good thing is that the skin always grows out nice and pink and smooth.

Im really having a hard time throwing out my old belts. I have found that it is easier to cut the belt so as to keep from getting it back out of the garbage can! I threw away three belts yesterday. That leaves about 50 or so still on the wall. I think it has something to do with having parents that went through "The Great Depression."

Thanx Steve, ....Larry Peterson
