[TheForge] Jet tailstock disassembly?

[Peter Fels & Phoebe Palmer]

I fear you are talking about me Jerry.
My ignorance and stubbornness have resulted
 in more than a few mechanical embarrassments         .
I never took a shop class and until i joined the CBA,
never saw anybody work who knew what they were doing...with very few exceptions.
I am the cheap guy who pays the most, all too often.
The consolation is that the tools have often been
broken already, when i get them.
I'm a geezer now, and more " successful",
but i still think like that habitually.
I was suppost'a grow up.

Pete: When I first read Andy's post I had to ask myself if he or a previous owner had tried to take it apart to "fix." I've had too much experience with guys who adjust machines because they don't know how to operate them and then there are the guys who take them apart to "fix" for the same reason. I've had harsh words with such . . . People.
