You've always got to look out for the other guy too...

My father replied, "Yes, but he lost a finger and created a rule. The point is that he never got it in the 1st place. He has no sence of self preservation. The next time he loses a finger he will create a rule. He is limited to 10 rules."

Wise words.

My ethos is "if it looks right, it is right!" if you look at enough machinery, after a while it becomes apparent, chops, sport/race bikes, cruisers, you can usually make a decision based on sight. The numbers usually back you up..... build it first (once you have looked long and hard) then run the numbers.

workshop rules.
1/ cut towards your mate
2/ assume its spinning.
