The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

... I'll take that as a no.

Email I just received, posted with permission: "Hi I found your forum after searching for information about Todd. A friend of mine was a friend of his neighbors.

Hi all. I have fully updated the Sponsor page (I think). Please check to make sure I've got you listed correctly. THANKS ALL. You are keeping the site alive.

Hello all, I am posting this on behalf of Serg , who writes in Russian, and hopefully he can respond directly to your responses: Serg writes: I have an RCA MI-11850-C cutting head. The old viscoloid damper in it has fallen into disrepair. How can it be replaced? I've tried neoprene, silicone, rubber...

I've updated the sponsor wall to reflect all the newest contributors. The response this weekend has upped the participation percentage a bit. Thanks all. It _truly_ helps.

Please check that page and make sure I credited and listed you properly.) In a very real way, these contribu...

Sponsor page is up-to-date through yesterday. Thanks again to all-- make sure I listed/linked you correctly. And everyone else: Not too late to help out!
