I'll see if I can talk him into coming back to RTH, It might do him good to talk with his friends on here.

Also the smells of sage & creosote bushes in the desert. Even now, almost 20 years since my last visit to the California desert, if I think about it I can still smell the desert smells. Don, I remember you had Larry send you a bit of creosote bush, to bring you back in time, remind you of your years here so long ago. Don't remember if he let Goober (rest his soul) pee on it before sending it to you, or if Jake got to initiate it when it arrived, lol. (Often think about Larry and Diane, hope they are doing well.)
And the desert after it rains has got to be the most wonderful smell there is!
Yup, I still have that box of creosote clippings sitting beside my recliner. Every so often I open it up & have a sniff or two. I hear from Larry a couple times per week. He had surgery on his shoulder, and has had a lot of pain. He & Diane got a new Rat Terrier, and take him to the park almost daily. Other than that, they're both doing as good as can be expected. Next time I hear from him, I'll let him know you asked about him.

The smells of hot oil & gasoline from my high school hot rod. Also the smells of sage & creosote bushes in the desert. Even now, almost 20 years since my last visit to the California desert, if I think about it I can still smell the desert smells.
And going even further back, the smell of my mothers home made saurkraut & dill pickles in the 10 gallon crocks at the bottom of the basement stairs in my early childhood home in Ohio.

Always liked the instrumentals back in the 50's. Real music to drive my hot rod by.

Welcome aboard silwery from a South Dakota guy. No experience with Norwegian rocks, but it will be interesting to see what your country has to offer.
Post pics of your archaeological finds. I'm sure ther are others beside myself who would love to see them.
My wife is of Norwegian decent. (Luvas)

You gonna enter your plume if Glenn drops the theme Don? I don't cab, but I miss seeing all the entries every month! Haven't cut a cab yet Bob. Waiting on some Woodward Ranch red plume from Mel. Should be here early next week. Plenty of time to cut a cab before the end of the month.

Well, there goes my entry. Plume agates have neither dots nor lines. In all of the years that I've been on this forum, I haven't entered a single cab contest. Guess I'll wait until there's a more material friendly contest for my first entry.

Finally dug mine out. It came with my Genie in the early 90's. Except from showing some wear, it looks the same as the pic Rick posted. My guess is you were sold a wheel which had been re coated.

I have one in the basement that's about that old and hardly never used. I'll check it in the morning.

Dang, that first pic makes me wish I could take one more ride in my old PBR.
Mine too Mike.

LOL, that's right Mike. I would have taken all 16 lbs of the Woodwards if I'd seen this in time. Ya snooze, ya loose.

I believe 1725 RPM is going to be too fast for a flat lap. You may have to use a pulley system to at least cut your speed in half.
320 grit is much too fine to start out with. Get a variety of discs, starting with around 80 grit & work up to your finer grits.
Find a way to positively isolate that motor from your water feed. A little water down the open end of your motor may light you up like a Christmas tree.

I'll claim the remaining 6 lbs of Woodwards, and 2 lbs of the Moctezumas. PM me.

How big is the saw Mike ? If it's a large saw, check these out & find one in your price range.https://www.google.com/search?q=explosion+proof+lights&biw=1269&bih=563&site=webhp&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&sqi=2&ved=0CE4QsARqFQoTCIvp6a-n3scCFUkXkgod-gsEoQ#tbm=isch&q=explosion+proof+lights+on+ebay

I wouldn't worry too much about replacement O rings. Any place that repairs sewing machines & vacuum cleaners has a good supply of various sizes.

Welcome aboard vintagegrit. The Hi-Pol grits will certainly work. I have several cans displayed on a shelf along with some vintage equipment, but have also used a few cans with no problems.

I'm thinking #2 is either for sharpening wood plane blades or chisels. Probably attaches to the front of a wet grinder. Fairly recent judging by the plastic knobs.

Let us not forget The Coasters.
Or how about The Silhouettes ?
