re: Are You a builder?
Ironicly, I didn't notice this thread last summer, I was busy building.
Beer is the cause and the solution of all my problems.

re: Are You a builder?
This is definitely an interesting subject. Yes, I am definitely a builder. Over the years I have developed a system of interchangeable parts to where I can rough out a design fairly quickly to prove or disprove it. I have donated parts to Ralph and of course ate crow on this website but at least some have seen my designs. My biggest problem is that I need room to work and it takes a big frame.
An interesting question. Suppose you design a wheel that does not work, thats design #1. OK, modify it slightly and the re-design doesn't work, is that considered Wheel #2? If so, I have built more designs than I ever care to admit. Makes me feel that Bessler was either a genius or had a "flash of Geius".
I am down for the count currently with knee replacement sugery (last week) but you can bet that once able to get back on it, I will. Obsessive Compulsive Behavior - accurately diagnosed.

must be a many thousands of failures built over the last three hundred years
who built one and who didn't isn't very interesting
now a running count of how many failures have been produced in three hundred years that would be interesting

Just a note to let all who may care or give a d*mn: This builder is now out of the Hospital and now back home.
It will be another 10 days before I can go looking for that SOB tool that I threw the last time in the shop.... :-)

Glad all is well Ralph. Your lucky Obama's death panel isn't in effect yet.
Would they have thought you were worth the investment? ;)

Re: re: Are You a builder?
No they would not! in fact the original procedure that was used on me was banned some years ago. The hospital called it 'ventricular cardiovascular recrustruction' better known as the 'Batista heart procedure' invented by a heart surgeon in Brazil. If interested a Google for 'Batista heart procedure' will fill you in.justsomeone wrote:Glad all is well Ralph. Your lucky Obama's death panel isn't in effect yet.

The American Medical Association banned it as the percentage of patients surviving did not prove it to be effective. Today it is either a heart transplant or 'tough luck'... If Obama's death plan makes it into law people in my boat will drown without a life preserver.
