<div dir="ltr">Congrats on approaching retirement, Dave2! I've got another year to go, I think. It all depends on when the kids move out. It might have been a mistake, but we said they could live with us until they were done with college, if they desired. <div><br></div><div>To be honest, I haven't done much woodworking of late, at least not fine woodworking. I've built a few outbuildings, made a few functional pieces from rougher lumber, and made a few smaller pieces on my CNC router. I've spent the last 6 years teaching myself design work in Fusion 360, and ultimately realizing those designs on 3D printers and CNC routers. </div><div><br></div><div>Here's a quick video on cutting out a copper heat sink on my router. (Yeah, I know, the lighting isn't good)</div><div><a href="https://youtu.be/3LdQpydy-sQ">https://youtu.be/3LdQpydy-sQ</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>I've also been doing more metal work, and I've got a melting furnace for aluminum / copper. I've done some green sand casting, and I just picked up a full investment casting setup (includes a burn-out oven, vacuum chamber, vulcanizing mold maker, wax injector, centrifugal spinner). I'm looking forward to designing, 3D printing, and casting the items. </div><div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>Regards,<br>-Steve<br></div></div></div></div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Feb 17, 2022 at 1:47 PM Dave Heitstuman via Woodworkers <<a href="mailto:woodworkers@lists.sawdusters.org">woodworkers@lists.sawdusters.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

another beast of a table. Given some time I could probably spin a tale or two but not even close to the caliber that Joe did. With any luck I will retire next year and who knows, maybe I’ll become Joe 2.0 at least in posting random stuff if for no other

the reminders of Joe would fade even more and those little things like this that remind me of him and make me smile would be gone.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)">But if it is becoming more work for you then it isn’t fair to hang on to it out of nostalgia either. So if a switch is in order then I guess Google Group might
be the best for me. I am not on and have no intention of joining FB or any other social media platform.

<p class="MsoNormal">The domain renewal is relatively cheap, but at the same time, I don't see much activity on this list. Also at the same time, I have weekly if not daily spam that I have to deal with. (Mostly requests to join the list, but names don't match
up with email addresses). <u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Finally, Jason is moving all of his hosting to other servers so we would be one of the last on his server. <u></u><u></u></p>
