Frank,
Sorry, you didn't come here today. Your friend Ray did and he left upset without the lathe. there were some pieces I couldn't find and I told him I"d mail everything to him and he could pay me later and when he left that seemed fine. However , I just got an email from Ray, saying how he doesn't want to do business with me, and he's going to give me a red flag, or what ever they do to indicate you're not a good guy to deal with.
I was more than happy to send it to him and eat the freight, and let him be trusted to pay me. He doesn't think that's good enough I guess. He lives over an hour from here and he felt insulted I"m sure that I didn't invite him in for coffee or breakfast or something, but he came so earlly in the morning that everyone was still asleep and my grand kids got cranky etc. I just wanted him to leave the shop asap . I stayed up the night before looking for the parts and couldn't find them. I think that he just wanted to get my 650$ lathe for 300$ and isn't happy if he can't steal something. Hope you and I stay friends Frank,
Bill
