and couldnt find it. but yesterday i did. i think with this and my friend JB Weld, i can rig something up.

i must say, i am again impressed with the knowledge all of you have. i never even knew what an optical comparator really was. i wouldnt attempt to do any work on a lathe, i know my limits.

when it comes to things like spinal injections, tissue biopsies, joint work, etc. i am exceeding skillful, for some reason. but mechanically otherwise, i dont dare try to do most stuff.

thanks again to all!
