The Many Vices of a Novice Machinist


I am of course aware that puns are the lowest form of humor, although how they got demoted below Adam Sandler movies is a mystery to me. But bear with me, I am learning a whole new language.  So many interesting words in the machine shop.  Knurling, ferrules, wheel dressing...

It's a whole new world really.  So many toys..so many big toys...



And puns, so many puns.

The steel post on the end of the lathe is called a "knockout bar".  


Makes me think of a seedy establishment where on Saturday night you might hear "Three Jawed Chuck and the Lathe Dogs" play.

I'll be putting comments into "moderator" format for a while. Sometimes they get a bit off topic. I'll post almost all of them even the One Weird Trick Spamsters if they amuse me. I also answer my email at dagmarsuarez@gmail.com
