Barry,
Jim and I have crossed paths from time to time. I think I would sweep his shop and polish the floor just to catch a few crumbs of knowledge here and there.
Unfortunately the nature of my job keeps me so busy I don't have much time. We used to be in the same EAA chapter, but I just didn't have time to make the meetings with any regularity.
If I get stuck and nobody here can help me, I'll take my mangled workpiece to Springdale and look pathetic. I'll drop your name at that point. That will probably get better results than showing up empty handed with a million questions.
I may stop by to see if they have a brake long enough to handle my wing spar channels, and a shrinker that can do my 1/4 by 2 inch angle center spar caps. I just don't have a frequent enough use for something like that to spend the required ca$h.
Monty
