[R-390] OT

[Jim Brannigan]

Gene,
It looks like fun, but there is no room for a lathe here.
I notice that HF is about to open stores in NY state.  That is too bad, they
will have to charge sales tax on all NY sales.
Look for a deal on the Milwaukee cordless screwdriver.  IMHO, the best on
the market and just the thing for dealing will all the screws on R-390's and
other B/A's.
Excelite sells a bunch of nut drivers and screw tips that fit the Milwaukee.
