    Gibs are important. Grandfathers, or at least generous hosts; unreplaceable.
    I believe 'Odessia' [sp?] has rare gift of a mechanically inquisitive mind. Watch her examine that torch! Young lady, that's what it's all about; top, underside, form, fit, and function.
    That video opening is more watchable than 100's of the usual tripe.

    And the gib itself, I only half dread the few I need to make. That old left hand/ right hand configuration is a devil in some parts, no?

    Note to folks disparaging shapers; ever try milling a gib?
