"Was that John Thompson?" Duanedr

No, not John. IIRC it was Joe Stark. I wonder what has become of him. To continue this tangent (hope that's ok) Gene Powell is another person from way back when, he painted a couple of frames for me, that I get confused with Joe... Old mind and I've always been a poor name rememberer all my life.

I usually use a Dremel or a 1/4" die grinder to do the tube ID clean up and or clearance creation work. A tad noisy and a bit "dirty" but works well enough. When I attended the 1979 Eisentraut course we used reamers to open up the sockets. Quicker and no power tools for the students to hurt themselves with Andy
