Good morning Bill the funny part of your question is YES I did. ;-) After that first trade, every time I serviced that factory the owner told me that I could take a few mis-shoots with me when I left, We/I must have had 30 Frisbee's in our basement for years,They are good entertainment for the kids and Do make Great place holders for paper plates for picnics .and out side party's. ("MAN" I really miss those days! ) C.A.G. ----- Original Message ----- Gee curt and here’s me thinking you just made really really good bread lolol So when you got home did you flip one of the Frisbees over and eat the other loaf of bread off of it .

Hello again everyone. This is a reply to MR. doughting Tomas. ( private e-mail to me.) A horse trade dose not have to be with only one person,and you dont always end up with exactly what you want on the first time,right off the bat. Let me explain, As I said my first lathe was traded for and the trade started off with a loaf a fresh made bread. but I hadnt planed on the lathe until latter. This is how it worked, or started-out. I was working at a fire protection company and was servicing fire equipment at the time. (A job that I loved, but paid very little $$$.) Any how I servced a bakery, and bought two loaf's of bead at there store. Then after I went to a small factory ,(they made rubber Frisbee's ) The owner of the company was talking to me, at my truck, and smelled the beard and wanted to know if I would sell one to him? I told him that I bought the bread for my girl friend and her little boy,but the kid might like a Frisbee better then a piece of bread? He told me that he had a big box of Frisbee's that were mis-shoots,( the colors were not right due to a color change in production,They were good Frisbee's but they could not be sold... ) I agreed and gave him the bead. Very happy with my trade, ;-) two stops latter. I went to a woodworking/cabinet shop. and they had the lathe,an old craftsman that was not used anymore. I traded him 6 Frisbee's and refilled a 20lb co2 bottle for him, for the lathe. (and life goes on! ) ;-) Ive done this type of trading a lot in the past. I give you something, and perhaps sometime latter you can re-pay the favor? But trading is more fun. I got a leather coat in turkey for A ship's ball cap, one Zipo lighter, and two cartons of American cigarettes. ( I dont smoke but I still bought my limit on the ships store... ) ;-) and I still have the jacket 30 yrs latter. ;-) As I said the offer is open to any and all. What do you have to trade??? (I am sorry I ran out of Frisbee's years ago, but? anything could be on the board. ) ;-p C.A.G. ----- Original Message ----- With 353 members in this group, Dose anyone Out-There, Want to do a horse trade with me on a 90 volt DC gear motor. What I have is a high tork slow RPM motor, I believe it will run fast enought to have no problem on the acme screw/ carriage drive system. I added one on my Legacy a few years ago. and although I made my unit run with a over sized gear and chain to pick up the speed of gearing,I now dont believe that it was necessary to do so, a direct drive coupling such as a Love-Joy coup. would work just fine, if you wanted to go there route. For those who dont know me very well, I have been acquiring tools this way for Years. (as a mater of fact, I got my first lathe with a trade that started off with a loaf of Fresh made French bread from a local bakery ... and went on form there.) ;-) I have a number of motors, acquired from another trade a while back. (all the motors work.) So if any of you need a motor to run your Legacy This is your chance to get one cheap! No money, (for the motor, perhaps postage might be necessary depending... ?) So If you have something that you want to trade, Make an offer. things that I am looking for at this min. are , Linear slides, Z axis parts, Perhaps a used lathe chuck? Legacy left overs form an up-grade,Router bits??? STUFF LIKE THAT, So, If you have something, Just make an offer, Perhaps we can make a deal? the sky is the limit. (so to speak.) You can contact me via. E-mail curtgeo...@wowway.com or perhaps Here, depending how many people want to jump on in on this one.
