88219 | "Ryan McNabb" <longrifles@e... | 2001‑01‑03 | Obligatory note of greeting |
Hello, all - Thought I'd better introduce myself. My name is Ryan McNabb, and I am a professional woodworker, working lengths of curly maple and walnut into longrifle stocks. I am glad to finally find a list such as this, where I can stretch out and be proud of my Underhill-billy nature, and combat Normism wherever it rears it's laser-directed head. (And noone will tell me to wear safety glasses...) I built my own log house, hewing the logs and dragging them with a horse, and timberframes my kitchen, and am now in the process of building a timberframed shop, all without electricity. I'll be building the sash myself as well, and will post pics on a secret page of my main webpage, for such as are interested in these things. I'm glad to be aboard, and I look forward to asking tons of questions. Thanks for your time...I'll sit down now. Cheers Ryan Custom American longrifles http://www.gunstocker.com |

Jim wrote "I hope you'll at least permit the eye surgeon's use of modern medicine to attempt to save your eyesight after a nail or a bit of shattered, hardened steel bounces into your eyeball." The Gerstner machinist's toolboxes are fitted with a small mirror inside the top cover. I understand that this was originally so that the workman of an earlier day could see to dig metal fragments of his other eye after an accident absent safety galsses. Some things are well left behind us. Find some comfortable glasses and wear them. Ed Balko Middletown, NJ |

Once upon a time I noticed that something was scratching the inside of my eyelid. Went to doctor who pulled a small splinter of steel from my eyeball. OK. no big deal. But the doctor said, "You have a rust spot on your pupil which will have to be removed." This after only having that splinter overnite. The rust forms quickly. Was sent to the opthalmologist who strapped my head into a frame, put in some numzit, and proceeded to grind out the rust spot with a rotary grinder. Now I can assure you that this is a proceedure that you definitely do not want to undergo. You really do want to wear safety glasses. Jim Thompson |
