Thanks for the info, Alan.  I had not seen it.  Would
you also mind posting the info on the Chaski List?  I
have read 3 of his books and they are definitely
written by a frugal, practical Yank.  Some of the
practical ways he overcomes machining problems with
such simple methods leaves me scratching my head in
amazement.
