I've been wondering about you. Glad to hear about your new plans. I fully support quick tips, as I'm usually only able to watch long format stuff while multitasking, so then I don't pick up as much. :)

Tom I am just beginning to get into working with a mini lathe & mini mill as a supplement to my sculpture work. Your videos are among the best I've found for helpful education in this skill area. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

Thanks for the short tip Tom. There are too many on youtube who like to ramble on for half and three quarters of an hour and dont impart as much info as you just did. Thanks again from Oz.
