Yes, he is ... does he need a job?

Yeah, why not....

As long as I don't have to work too much, and the climate is comfortable

Vlad, my major limitation with a mill is weight rather than space. I can just barely lift and schlep around a mini mill at ~150 lb, but the larger desktop models are beyond me. Right now, sittting under the eaves of my house with a tarp over it is the power supply and control panel from a Norelco X-ray diffraction machine (for amateur physics, not DIY audio). At ~400 lbs, it'll sit there for a while until I can figure out how to get it down into my basement. (maybe an engine hoist).

BTW, the pictures at the Burning Amp site don't appear to load using my revision of Mozilla. They do show up with IE. Maybe it's time to upgrade to Sea Monkey, as Mozilla is no longer supported.

Wrenchone,
I am sorry for the troubles that you are having with the web site. As I noted I had similar problem and I traced it to the GoDaddy domain masking. I removed domain masking after that and it seemed to work fine. I would like to know if anyone else is having a same problem, just to make sure before I complain to them.

I am telling you Yahoo has it nail down pretty well. Doing the same thing with Google - GoDaddy is quite opposite. I wanted to switch and move my domain name to Yahoo, but it was few days before the BAF. I figure out it was to dangerous to do it then. I will do it in a month once everyone had a chance to visit and view.

Regarding your basement, I do understand your position. Only one advice that I could have is - piano movers. I hired them once when I needed to move very heavy proofing device over some stairs. These guys were life savers.

Hi wrenchone,
Try Firefox. Wonderful. The companion mail client is Thunderbird. No learning curve from where you are sitting.

............my major limitation with a mill is weight.......

It was with me too. Fortunately I was going into a garage, not a basement. If broken down into pieces it's a lot easier though. But I'm sure the cast iron base of a Bridgeport is still 1000lbs!

IMHO you would be better off finding a BP or equivalent for a decent price than buying a mini mill. It will save you the trouble of selling the mini mill later You would probably pay less for the BP than the new mini mill and could use the difference to pay someone to move it down for you. You wouldn't regret it - as long as you don't plan on moving for a while.

You guys push me to think on Saturday!
I have been thinking - what a brain power we have. This question - does he needs a job... The answer is not but we could have something interesting.
We have this site that allows people to search and read and learn. Imagine how good book we could make for people. After I spoke with Anatech, and I after I have seen how neat and peculiar he is about tools, soldering tips and irons there are many people that could learn much by reading his advices.
Now I think about Magura - metal working lessons from real Danish master. Imagine few chapters by Mr. Pass, and I could go on and on. I am already enjoying introductory written by GRollins...
I am telling you we have a dream team here and it would make one hell of a collective book.
You got my entrepreneurial soul going.

What an excellent idea. I'd be interested in contributing.

Any particular area that you would like to do?
I would suggest for all you guys that feel comfortable contributing please post your ideas here. I am just thinking, once we have something than I could do photography for your article illustartions.

Maybe we do video and print together - something like book + DVD!
Lets brain storm - something will come out for sure.
Magura, I didn't know that you spoke with Mark about this, so than even better that you guys came up with similar idea.

I already smell Burning Iron Book!

Well, to us it was the solution to the problem of not being able to lock a WIKI page, and hence everybody and their dog edit what should really be left alone.....

But yes I sure agree a burning book sounds like a great idea, and I like your idea of adding video content as well. Fact is though, I need help with the photos.....

We mods have kicked around an idea to have an area for treatises to be "published"

I don't think that this idea is really directly related to Burning Amp so might be better on a new thread. However, I think that it is good proof that meeting people in person really stimulates creativity!! showing how important meetings are.

Please lets not open new thread yet. If idea creates much interest than lets do it, but now is too early.
