    lostforawhile and maule air to be in an up coming episode of How It's Made

    Why they chose us way down here in the south, I have no idea, but we are going to be featured in an upcoming episode of How It's made. The film crew was here for two days, I don't think they took any video of my face, but I had to do this stupid repeditive task over and over, while they took video. You will see me put a wheel on a hub several times, as welll as lots of other people at the plant. Nice folks though, they are here from Canada, they had no idea what knats were, they kept asking if the hundreds of bugs circling their heads were mosquitios, Watching people with a French accent try to swat nearly invisible bugs, that move at light speed, was pretty funny though. I'm not sure of the exact air date yet, it's supposed to be around Jan Feb, I will let you know. I'm sorry if the pictures were blurry, for some reason this camera takes inside pictures out of focus. I'm using the digimax with the broken LCD , the other pictures of a home built kit of a Safari Helicopter that was here today, pretty cool.

    they all did, the younger guys were mostly speaking french and the director spoke both English and french, young guys could speak English fine, but mostly spoke french. The gnats get everyone who isn't used to them. I know when i was putting the wheel on the hub, I didn't put a cotter key in, he didn't think that would come out. I could have done more interesting stuff, but that's what they decided to film. two days of footage to do probably a ten minute segment. I know at one point, one of the younger guys puts the camera tripod on my bench and leaps up on the bench, wanted a straight down shot, That's old stuff, luckily it has steel reinforcements under the 40 year old wood. That could have gotten ugly if he went right through the bench. I wanted them to film me turning a fork or something, but we didn't get enough notice of them coming. It would have taken me the entire day to set it up. I even have a jig to hold the camera over the lathe. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEwPL0ogjLw

    google redirects to gnat so it must be a common mispelling or regional spelling of the pest..

    it's a tiny flying bug that is attracted to the carbon dioxide you breathe out, so therefor likes to fly into your mouth and nose, they don't sting or bite, just drive you nuts. they like to swarm by the hundreds around your head and ears. I don't what what purpose they serve, other then someone in the south must have really pissed God off, so he created knats. http://lancaster.unl.edu/enviro/pest...ets/262-95.htm

    That helicopter is my "dream car." I always say that the fastest car is stuck in the same lousy DFW are traffic as the slowest. The only vehicle I really want is the one that is not dependent upon "traffic conditions" for its expediency in reaching my destination. LOL.

    Ok I missed the first airing but it was on, I believe it's coming on again on 5/2, it says airplanes, but there was another airplane episode too, so on 5/2 that should be it. if thats the one about the carbon fiber airplanes, it's not it, if thats not it it should be on again soon, as it just aired this weekend, Ok it's the bush planes episode so that should be it
