I may have missed it, but what's the latest on Terry Burtz's new blocks? Last I heard, he was still trying to find a competent foundry.
 
I Terry's project is shelved for awhile. We're counting on Tod to get his blocks going.
They look awsome so far. He has finished a couple of heads and when they are worked
out and going maybe he'll jump back on the blocks again.
This is exciting stuff.

I've been doing what I can all along on the blocks but I am stuck waiting on cores. I have 7 CNC machines and every one has something in it all the time. My regular work load is never ending. I am almost ready to have Prus Jr. test build the sample block I have just about finished. I don't have any help that can do more than run production, which takes up 2 machines all day every day. In my area drugs are more attractive than work so it is impossible to find more help. So I am stuck doing what I can, when I can.

Worse than all of my own issues is that I have to go to the foundries every time I need castings until they are trained enough to do it without me.

It is very difficult to deal with.
