Ted is a trained thespian. I can barely act like a human being.

John, you got a real good one going here. Man, this is a tough one!! I am going to have to give it Clint because, of the shear length of his successful career. He managed to transition into one of our greatest directors after coming off a very long and successful acting career.

I mean hey-the "Unforgiven", "Million Dollar Baby". The man has won 4 Oscars and has been nominated 6 times more. From "Rawhide" in the late 50's to Million Dollar Baby in 2003; that is a LONG span of really good work.

And of course the spaghetti westerns that defined him, and Detective Callahan in the "Dirty Harry" series, the man may just be the most successful actor in history in terms of successful work over time.

I liked Charles Bronson, especially in the Mechanic but, Clint is THEE man.

Actually, the real deal is that if they're mounted on the front of the plane, they're tractor props, whether they rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. Just as with right wing or left wing (regarding airplanes here), the view from the pilot's seat is what determines the answer. This isn't that hard to grasp, if you look at a picture of a Spitfire or Bf-109 sitting on the ramp, engine off, and compare it to a Mustang in the same situation. All three have tractor propellers, two are left handed, the other right handed.  Steve

Good enough for me.

Up here, highway signs are 6061T6. Our last CL/FF Contest Coordinator used to work for the WA DOT and got some old/damaged signs from the scrap for LG's. It's more corrosion resistant than 2024 and a lot cheaper. If they're using 2024 in California, you know they're wasting your tax dollars. Oh, wait, that's a given.  Steve

Pray tell how you learned that little factoid....!

For acting ability? I thought this would be Ted Fancher vs. Brett Buck.

Did you know Charles Bronson was a gunner on a B-29 and 'won' a Purple Heart in WW2?

I gotta say I liked Bronson in "The Great Escape" and some other movies, and Clint Eastwood in about every role he ever did...but especially "Gran Torino" and as "Rowdy Yates". It's a hard choice. I guess Clint gets the nod. I don't think I saw "The Mechanic" and didn't really like the vengeful roles Bronson did in his vigilante movies. I guess I just couldn't picture him as an architect?   Steve

    Blind nuts, at least so far. If those start compressing the wood, then it's being over-tightened. If you need to tighten them really hard to keep the engine from coming loose, then the likely cause is that you aren't spreading the load enough, and allowing the wood to compress.
 
      I am tempted to go back to nut plates the next time, but hitting them when shaping the nose is a significant problem.
