Maybe you enjoy yourself for a while without all the headaches, and when yo
u start getting some calls about new jobs, you keep pushing them away until
they agree to pay you 10 times what you would have normally charged, as a
consultant of course...you don't want to upset your prior arrangement with
your benefactor.
Have a Happy and blessed New Year!

Bob, you never lose the wisdom, however, the beginning of the

"Well sonny, let me tell you about the day before you were born that I"
Oh, and of course it needs to be in a crackly voice.
Now if you can learn how to type in a crackly voice you would be golden.
LOL
I do hope all goes well with the CNC Shop stuff. Still have the logos you
did for me proudly displayed on the entertainment unit. Thanks again
for those.
Stop in anytime. Us few ol' Pharts may still be here.
(Speaking for myself of course) :-)

Sure I'd be glad to. My little router is not being used much these days
anyway. Most of the paying work is being done on the mills. Now to see if
I can find the cleaned up files I made for the logo. I also think I need to
take some time to read the grain to prevent or reduce chip off on the ends
of those rays.

Re: Freedom

I don't know. I know more about machining aluminum than hard woods. I know
some woods get really fuzzy edges when machine. I usually use downcut bits
on those to shear off fibers bettter, but some sanding is always required.
I like poplar for simple stuff like engraved wood plaques. It still has
problems, but because its cheap I don't mind pitching about 1 in 8 into the
trash. Coarse grains like Oak can be really tricky. They saw cut ok, but
fine work is hard to cut smooth. sand sand sand.

I understand Bob. Milling wood can be very iffy at best. Depending on
the complexity of
the cut the grain will run in multiple directions. Thanks for the insight.
BTW you may have caught this on another group but I think this it is
worth repeating here
for all to get some different education. :-) It is really worth the
watch and listen.

Best of luck Bob. I would advise you also to hold on to that license ..... at least for another "term". Ya never know and I'm sure it's not that big of an expense to keep it going for a little while longer.
Like they say " Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it"
By the way, to all, I know it's a little late but we went away for Christmas week and I didn't get a chance to wish everyone here a Happy New Year.

************* Keeping my Licenses *************
I hear you, but I don't want to be a contractor anymore. Maybe in a few
years I might change my mind, but I could just sell off extra and duplicate
tools for a while to pay bills if I had to. When my licenses come due I'll
decide for sure, but I'll probably cancel them. I don't think it would be
to hard to renew them if I cancel them properly anyway. To be honest I'd be
more likely to go be a janitor for somebody than go back to the alarm
business. I am already feeling the huge weight lifted off from not having
to be on call 24/7. I even turned my phone off the other night and didn't
worry a bit about it.
************* ADDICT DREAMS *************
in April 1988 I quit smoking cigarettes. Threw my last pack out the window
of the truck and that was it. I may have shared the store here before. Its
personally moving to me. Anyway. The absolute worst part were the dreams.
I would dream I woke up, smoked a cigarettes, stubbed it out on the floor,
and went back to sleep. They were so real that when I woke up I'd have to
check around on the floor for the butt to make sure it didn't happen. I had
those dreams for about two years. I didn't figure I had it beat until one
day I realized I hadn't had not had one of those dreams for a couple years.
Last night I dreamed I was trying to get out of a clients place. They kept
having problems with their phone system, and every time I fixed something
and was ready to go somebody told me about some other issue. Voice mail,
noise, broken handsets.... It just kept going on and on. It was for a real
customer I used to have. Long term customer of 17 or 18 years. It was like
a real hell. The only reason I realized it wasn't real was because I had
never sold that customer a phone system. I just worked on their alarms and
access control systems.
I really don't want to go back.
