I learn a ton of stuff from Irving, who is more of a Renaissance man than me.

On an unrelated note, Grant once cut me out a piece of plate steel that my 800 pound jointer rests on, on top of some Great Lakes Casters. It made me the king of the jointer forum for a while, because other folks tried to bolt the casters directly to the frame, and ended up bending the frames of their $5-7k jointers. Meanwhile, mine is super stable and moves around with ease. So I have been the direct beneficiary of Grant's talent with a cutting torch, and his generosity.
