Get the tool from Lee's Machine Shop and make your own shims. Jim Lee is on here once in a while.

Too cold in the workshop to machine anything PJ although Matt Colan and Dave Fitz have been working on me.

Have got to do some bits for Matt before spending some more of the kids inheritance on a trip to the UK Aug/September. Can you stop sending that cold weather north!

All the best

I second Herb's request PJ. I hurt my fingers just getting my Dremel out of the router table yesterday.

On the other hand, we could sure use some of that global warming that people keep talking about.

It got even hotter in central Indiana since you left. Will gladly trade our weather for yours.

PJ Rowland · « **Reply #12 on:** July 24, 2011, 07:36:44 AM »

Someone else said that to me today..

Nope.. I will trade 110 F for 30 F + rain anyday

Howard Rush · « **Reply #13 on:** July 24, 2011, 08:42:17 PM »

Temperature at our flying field is forecast to get up to 70 degrees F (21 C) tomorrow. I may need a short-sleeve shirt.

You stop whining, too. I left the NATs where is it was 95 every day, and went to visit my parents - where it was 104 (40C in French) every day. With higher humidity, too.

During the winters here in Vermont, I've seen temperatures on our thermometer reach -33.4 degrees F. During summer, it just recently hit 98 so I have a very large temperature range to live in!

Scratching around the workshop to find the alloy for you Matt! Just warming up a bit here now as PJ is hopefully keeping the cold air "down in Mexico"! We're 600 miles north but it still gives us below freezing in the mornings at times.
