BLADE! We don' need no steanking BLADE!

Friction-cut eighth-inch 4130 like going through warm butter.)

Hmmm...

I've got to cut some 1/2" 4130. (Yes you read that right. 1/2".
Charlie Vogelsong of Dillsburg Aeroplane works is the only place in
America that carries 4130 that thick, it seems.) It's part of a
bellcrank that raises the main gear in a Delta.

The boys have a few bikes that they've outgrown under the house.

How fast would I have to make that blade move?

This is by far the hardest lesson about freedom. It goes against
instinct, and morality, to just sit back and watch people make
mistakes. We want to help them, which means control them and their
decisions, but in doing so we actually hurt them (and ourselves)."
