	So yeah, everyone please remember that lathes are one of the most dangerous machine tools you'll encounter. And keep your hand on the chuck key whenever it's in the chuck. If you never let it go till it's out of the chuck, it's stupendously less likely to take flight.	Kevin Sevcik	Karibou
	I am alive today because I can't hold onto things.	Al Skierkiewicz	RoboDesigners

	Dangit Jim, we are engineers not politicians.	Andrew Schreiber	Chris is me
