    If you're milling, you can hold a thin piece of paper between the edge of your workpiece and the cutter after you get close. Then slowly move the workpiece to the cutter until the paper gets snatched away. It's an easy way if you don't have an edge finder. Or, if #!@*^ you can't find it. I've become very good at losing something within arm's reach.

    I like Dan Bongino. It's a good thing that he's helping to direct the FBI but I miss his show

    Thanks Floradawg,

    I have been adding to, & rotating a number of Political (or critical) Thinkers, "as potentially relavent" to a topic that I am replying to! Including YOURS, about Stupid versus ignorance!

    Late last year, I actually changed some use of words in >>>speech<<<, specifically (from "I understand") to "I Comprehend", when I saw the subtle difference in terms ! ! ! !

    I am *awake* Not >woke<, a bit of a dichotomy, deeply conservative in my Views, But accepting that others can have differing opinions: I SHUT that OFF, when that concept is not reciprocated,

    :-)

    :-(

    ;-)

    I like your sign off as well! I have "tutored" various subjects throught my lifetime, starting in the early - to mid 1960's ! ! !

    I was recently called a "Dynasaur" at age 75, thats not accurate, but I did offer advice to Noah, on how to dock the ARK . . . .

    philip, From the Great Pacific NorthWET, Oregon, USA. Yesterday, I celebrated A memory of Indendance day, 1981 (44 years Ago), BBQ'ING in NE Wasington, 40 miles South of Canada, @ 4,155' elevation, I watched it SNOW, on the MILE+ high Mountain just North of me ! ! ! That was an awesome year . . . Finishing a 2 story Log Cabin/Log Frame home (@ 4,155 elevation!) It was right after Mt St. Helens popped her top . . . She'll never look the same!

    Cheers friend.

    I used to consider myself a conservative but I'm not sure what that even means anymore. I now just consider myself sane. People these days are so crazy I really don't know what to think. I hate the republicans in Congress, but the alternative is loony town.

    I spent a year in Alaska and really enjoyed seeing the aurora. Can you see it from where you are?

    I have seen that Wonderful color of Skies Twice in my Life, once for a span of 8-10 days, back in the Mid-60's !!!

    When I was on FB, I had an "info of me" that said:

    Christian, Pastor.
    Conservative, df.: ~To Conserve~
    VietNam Vereran.

    I thought GET it OUT front, so the loonies would not think I frank their Kool-Aide ! ! ! !
