Re: [ATM] Makes me want to pick up some machine shop skills

Hey Jim
	How was the party. Sounds like you had fun. We got your grinder
home without incident btw. My son and I (with much grunting and
groaning, what a beast), finally got it in the house. It now sits in a
place of honor in our dining room until I can get the lab finished.
Hopefully that happens before you want the grinder back :).
	BTW, while your grinder is a great piece of machinery what makes
the most difference to me is your detailed account of actually using it
on your website. That has helped me a lot understanding the working of
the machine. 

Thanks again
Shawn

  Thanks for the vist to my site :-)  Sorry for the late reply but I 
just got back from the Winter Star Party and am recouperating from all 
of that terrible sunny weather. :-)  I got back to Canada to land in a 
snow storm, bah humbug .
  Most of the work on the Mirror Grinder, was while fairly simple for a 
well equiped machine shop was overkill for the purpose of most 
atmer's.   The grinder was designed in 3d first which makes the building

much easier later on..   And in true atm tradition much of the grinder 
was recycled from used material I found in the shop or in at Princess 
Auto surplus dept.
