"I don't need to take pictures or make a sketch, I'll remember how this goes back together."

Yeah...riiiiiiiiiiight.

There are four possible ways to reinstall the lead screw idler gear arm. Eight If you count the four possibilities for the gear itself.

Downside up and back asswards is one of them.

Fortunately, the guy I got the lathe from had taken some detail pictures.

You'd think I'd learn after 50+ years of taking stuff apart and putting it back together.

You'd be wrong.

The other day someone told me I can make phone calls and text on my camera!

Wait...pictures of PEOPLE? What's up with that?

I never remember a name, but I always forget a face...
