I am embarrassed to say that I have only been a lurker in this group, which I joined about 10 years ago when I bought my micro-mill. I have not contributed anything, I have only tried to absorb as much of the experience and knowledge that others have shared here, and for those contributions to the "student machinists" in this community, I am truly grateful.
I'm also very thankful for the behind-the-scenes work of Barry and Harvey, who have taken on the group maintenance tasks with so little fanfare or recognition. You guys rock!
