Thanks for posting the wheel repair, Steve. It looks better than new with the face freshly turned. I really enjoy your posts showing fabrication, and I envy your skills and abilities.
I miss seeing Don's posts, too, but I also miss the input of Ken Thurm, BrianUpNow from Canada (yellow A PU who is a fantastic machinist), Don Dalton (who only posts occasionally now), Don Shillady (think that name's spelled right), and those are just a few that I remember being very active posters in the not too distant past. Some others post in bursts, sharing something on their build, then going dormant for a while before hitting CHR with another blast of posts. The fact is people come and go, and occasionally someone jumps back in after being gone for months or years. I hope that you continue to share your talents with us, and that we get some other builds going to keep things more interesting for everyone.
Steve I'm with yah. I wish I had something to post about my build, but weather and money, and lack of time off are big factors for me right now. It seemed the new format to the forum was the start to the major shift of this site. I came here in 2007, and within 1/2 hour of posting a question, 2-3 people would chime in, including many of the above. Politics, and advertisements seem to be the major factors that have sent people away from here. It is a real shame because it is these very people that have attracted most of us here, and kept us. I guess once I got most of the beginner questions out of the way, I enjoyed the banter and project sharing most. Wish Don and Ken would come back, between the three of you, your build posts keep this place alive. I appreciate other members still here and willing to lend advice and comments, so I stay and follow their builds and yours. Dave has always been helpfull, and posted build threads that are fun to watch, and Roger is here too to lend a hand and keep us entertained, as is Bob. But losing Don is sort of like losing Dean Martin and being left with half a comedy team, no fodder for Bob to post his beauties.
Anyway, I learn from your threads all the time, and you inspire me to improve the quality of what I want from my project. Your tips on fabrication, make me want to take some metal shop courses and get a metal lathe! So please keep posting and Cheers!
Steve i really miss the banter, I take my rod building seriously but i'm always game for a bit of a laugh, I do miss the banter between Bob & Don, It was fun while it lasted !!!
Bob must of upped his game because this young thing says she has heard of him :LOL::LOL::LOL:

Mercy!!!:eek::eek::D
Yes Steve, that young lady has some assets though she might need some enhancement. She may have heard of me, but the ones that KNOW me are more like this young lady.;)
Bob, don't you think her legs are a little thin?
What legs????????
I have a reply Ken...................but it would probably give Bill apoplexity!
Bob I know ....I did the best I thought I could get away with
Bob you must have worked on boats sometime in your past, all your beauties come with built in PFD's. :)
No Steve, I'm an old car nut, I LOVE classic headlamps.........................:3dSMILE:
and the bigger the better to see.......... with
