Harold,

Glad to see that you are back.

I still have a lot more to learn from you.

Have to tell you that a friend asked me to do a job but couldn't figure on how I would hold the part.
I said "Hold my beer" and got out my soft jaws.

Harold, it just occurred to me that we not only get machining lessons from you but medical lessons too. :wink: :D Keep it up.

Harold, thank God you are better and getting back. I would say that you are a master mind. The experience that you have share is priceless. There is a saying:
The people that are secretive about their work do not know what they are doing. Which is not your case!
You have taught me a lot from soft Jaws, grinding HSS, grinding wheels etc.
All the best to you and your family

Harold you are an influence. Didn't have anyone to hold my beer, but this was the result.

Thanks, earlgo. It's gratifying to see that my comments are helpful. There's nothing quite like softjaws, even simple one's like you have shown. They take the fight right out of gripping thin pieces like yours.

Jorgo, forgive me for my belated response. I am ever grateful for folks like you who seem to have profited by my attempts to help. It's my way of paying it forward, as I had someone in my life who made a world of difference in how I turned out.
