RudeDawg,
No need for me to forgive, friend.

Actually, I enjoyed and got a kick out of your post. Please, feel free to give me the same type of grief in the future, I like it.
My sympathies in regard to your tool situation. That must be rough. So what have you built? Any wood preferences? I have always appreciated mechinist tools from afar. I am a wood man myself.
