And American Cheese, my dear friends, is how we keep Chicagoans out of St. Louis.

Chris mentioned the Beall kit in a blog post (“Making your own wooden screws”) early last year. Just enter “Beall” in the search window at the top of the page.

Next time you should hold your class in New Hampshire. They all have guns up there (at least judging by the bumper stickers)!

You may be right about it not fitting with the theme of the class. I always thought Chris was a fairly pragmatic fellow though who would use the best tool for the job with out regard to whether it had a tail or not.

I bet a LN thread box would be at least as expensive as the Beall set up! But at least then you could remain neander pure!

I wonder if using a Beall threading tool would be antithetical in handwork class setting. (Even though the blanks were turned on a CNC lathe.) And can you imagine the howling of multiple laminate routers running at once?

I like Graham’s post below: there seems to be an opportunity for one of the quality tool makers to bring out a decent manual tool.

Certainly not! I’d miss his singular style far too much.

“…where they make pizzas with American cheese.”

I’m pretty sure putting American ‘cheese’ on a pizza is a felony in Chicago.

I’m kind of scared to see video from today’s class. I have pics of my progress on my blog. Thankfully that forstner bit and my hand were no where near each other, it just looked that way.
