Now I regularly end up using one of FOUR lathes or one of three mills (one
not quite yet on line) without giving it a second thought.

We also have a very nice TIG machine here. The old saying goes "gimme a
bunch of bananas and I can teach a monkey to fly" well, give the about five
bananas and I can teach him to TIG!! It really is SO much easier and more
controllable than oxy-acet. There is no better way to weld aluminum,
stainless or titanium. It even makes ME look like I know what I am doing on
4130;-) Mike C.

If my latest batch of supplies (rods, flux, and video training tapes) don't
help me weld steel and aluminum with my Henrob, I'll be buying a TIG.  I'll
have the required 5 bananas standing by for instructions too :-)
