Rick,
I have not been a member of the group for long and I have enjoyed
everything you have written. I would ask you not to give up.
Wonk's request for more posts from people building Gingery machines is
fine and I would certainly go along with it. You appear to be "dominating
the site" (your words) simply because others aren't posting. It's a bit
like me seeming to dominate morning worship in our church on a Sunday
morning. It's not that I do particularly, or that I want to, it's just
that other musicians seem to have more other commitments and aren't there
quite so often. Apart from my normal rota appearances I often fill in for
others when they can't make it.
One other group I read is very quiet these days and if one particular
person didn't make posts on a regular basis, kicking off discussion, it
would be dead.
I enjoyed reading Scott Trostel's "Why I built the Gingery lathe" and what
I would like, and I hope that was Wonk's thought too, is more of others
not less of you.
I haven't done anything Gingery yet and it will probably be a while before
I do, due to time restraints, but I bought my first Gingery book, "The
charcoal foundry" last Saturday. I already have a couple of other books on
DIY metal casting and at the UK "Midlands Model Engineering exhibition" in
October, Noel Shelly is giving some demonstrations and lectures on the
subject. I am also a member of the "Home Foundry" group but have a
preference towards some sort of electric furnace (not too big though)
because of the cleanliness and controllability.
