[TheForge] Gazinta (Re: shuttle)

[Mike Spencer]

Frosty quoth:

> A vertical gazinta Ralph? Is that another CanadiAN thing?

That's "gazinta" <comma> "Ralph".  Sheesh.  It's a New Hampshire
thing, like ped-X-ing.

In an off-list message, Ralph Sproul mentioned,

    ...the wonderful world of "Gazintas" This goes inta that, and that
    goes inta this.

referring to universal mounts for vises, jigs, tool supports etc. made
from sleeving trailer hitch stock.  I bought some stock, haven't found
a place where I need a Gazinta(tm) except, now, somewhere to put this
humongous vise that's too heavy for me to carry around and for which I
have no patch of open floor I'm willing to give up permanently.  None
of my workbenches are heavy enough for this thing and besides, I want
to be able to use it 360 degrees around.

> You made me run downstairs, pour a glass of milk...

I'll buy the milk.  Your new keyboard/monitor and accidents on the
stairs are your problem.
