Some of you toolhounds, technology fans, home shop enthusiasts, etc., may appreciate this forum I just stumbled on: The Home Shop Machinist & Machinist's Workshop BBS. They are discussing everything there from consumer shop equipment, both new and old, to their own inventions.
Really some cool stuff, and a lot of it potentially quite useful:
Coloured Plastics
Broke into the 50's (50.3 MPG)
Removing rust from ways
2x42 shop made belt sander -- now 2x48!!
Saving gas money. Electric bicycle
Is your wife always P/O'd at you??
And a lot more humorous ones, as well:
Wohlhaupter explosion
Tool gloat for a hillbilly
My membership there is pending approval.
