Sometimes when I'm pipe turning on the lathe, I wonder "Why is that stummel growing bigger?" and then it hits me!

OK, so it's plagiarized and slightly altered - it's still funny.

I'm pretty sure the one that sailed past my left ear a couple years ago broke through the sound barrier, just before it broke through the drywall behind me.

This chuck has never let go of a block.

Neither has mine that was modified by Trent Rudat. It's great having the proper tools, except when they stab you in the hand.

I know I shouldn't laugh, Rad, but you're not forgetting that episode in a hurry. I still shudder

when I recall your story.

Well, in all fairness, it was my fault. I didn't tighten down the chuck.

When I pay attention, nothing bad almost never happens.

Nice jaws by the way. Did you have those made, Jack?

No, my machinist friend Mark Yingling made them. Also made a set for Brad Pohlmann.
