Hey all my friends and people I sort of know. I am partially back and have been lurking for a little bit here of late.

Not to bore anyone with the history, but I was hit with several medical issues all at once and also very long hours at work (partially contributed to the medical issues).

Anyway I am trying to visit more and pick up threads here and there, but I am severely restricted in the shop area with some days being able to work for 15 - 30 mins and a lot of other times just not really safe to be in there period so, very limited project time. With the fall and winter coming I hope I can do a little more but still physical restrictions are going to apply.

I can walk and talk and function pretty much normally (I know I was never really normal to begin with LOL) and am back to work full time. I just hope I can catch up with everyone and all the great new works here.

I hope everyone is doing well and that those that have needed support and such have been in my thoughts as well.

I really missed you folks! ]]> Off Topic dragyn http://www.scrollsawer.com/forum/off-topic/33071.htm HEY Seyit http://www.scrollsawer.com/forum/off-topic/33063.htm Sun, 05 Sep 2010 19:24:02 GMT How ya doin' Buddy? Still hangin' tough? ]]> Off Topic oily http://www.scrollsawer.com/forum/off-topic/33063.htm I have apologize to John B http://www.scrollsawer.com/forum/off-topic/33042.htm Sat, 04 Sep 2010 21:29:31 GMT John I'm sorry for all the toe jokes. I did one today that never crossed my mind before but I guarantee it did today. I too went to the shop with inappropriate footwear. They are called crocs. Very comfy and all that but I would guess a very poor ground. My 1" belt sander sits on a B&D workmate making it a little less than waist high.
I never realized before now how much static build up can be made while sanding oak.
Now you would think mother nature would have the decency to teach this lesson by sending the message to the fingers that where much closer to the sander but no. She apparently has a sense of humor. Remember I mentioned the height of the sander.
Long story short. Several thousand volts of static electricity jumped 4 inches to that precise elevation. Needless to say I was shocked. ( maybe a little pleased).
Anyway I rushed inside for sympathy and maybe even some TLC and all my wife could say was " have you been breathing the helium from the welder again?"
It just ain't fair I tell ya. ]]> Off Topic oily http://www.scrollsawer.com/forum/off-topic/33042.htm NZ Earthquake Update http://www.scrollsawer.com/forum/off-topic/33040.htm Sat, 04 Sep 2010 20:42:37 GMT Well, its morning and the earth is fairly still. One TV interview yesterday was with a couple getting married and the bride said she was always going to be able to say "the earth moved for me"on her wedding day. Just lots of aftershocks now with only some making themselves felt. The strongest has been 5point1 on the scale which sent the lights swinging for a while. Next on life's enjoyments list is a storm arriving later today with rain and strong winds up to gale force - possibly to 140kph - not great for those with broken houses. The news has just reported about 500 buildings with severe damage with 90 of those major buildings in the CBD. On the up side - in our city of 340 thousand plus residents, NO FATALITIES and only two cases of serious injury - a man whose chimney fell on him and another with serious cuts from falling glass.
