Yeah. I have the converter box too. Small detail...ya have to have an antenna that produces a certain wave length/frequency/???...which I don't have and am not about to waste any more of my bucks on! I'm strickly a movie watcher now. As for hand tools taking off parts of the anatomy...nah...just small chunks!<G> Not entire digits. Which, in today's medical world, are reattachable.<G> Do I have all of the necessary Power Tools??? Yer dang betcha! I just don't like the thought of relying on their lack of accuracy. Final fitting, in my shop, is almost always done with hand tools. Regards, Joe Joe Garrett, R.P.T.

They killed your TV? Oh, you mean the digital conversion...? I bought the little conversion box because I'm receiving off the Translators on the hill. But the Translator folks here are converting the digital back to analog then transmitting it just as it always was. I waisted my money!! Hand tools are great too, and they'll take off a finger just as fast as my Table saw will! (grin) Scott Joseph Garrett wrote: Scott, I see where there is a desire to lament his program ending. Sorry. Just Not my kind of wood butcher. I prefer the guy that uses all of the Hand Tools, like they are a part of him. I think that is the Yankee Workshop or sumpin like that. Since the U.S. Gov. has seen fit to kill my T.V., I'm getting a lot more accomplished.<G> (and not lamenting the loss of the darned thing either!)<G> Joe Joe Garrett, R.P.T.

This is definately OFF TOPIC. And, for me, not worth knowing. A power tool freak is not worth discussing, IMHO. Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
