If a mod can't move your posts to be all grouped at the top, perhaps a good idea would be to create a "Table of Contents" in your first post. Each entry could be a link to the related post further in the thread. That way, if you come back and add another topic next week or even next year, after all of our banter, there's a link organized in the first post that will take you right there, even if it's actually 100 posts later. Just brainstorming here...
Oooh engineers are just do damn organized, great idea

Not as cool as one would think... ask my wife!
Just because I like to help people spend their money, I found this at Harbor Freight for just $34 (obviously, you'd need to replace the wheels) http://www.harborfreight.com/5-inch-bench-grinder-94186.html:
Or, for an extra $5, get the 6" buffer http://www.harborfreight.com/6-inch-buffer-94393.html:

A lot of their stuff can be a roll of the dice on quality, but usually are more than adequate for home/personal use. I have a hard time walking out of that place and not spending money. Usually end up filling a shopping cart!
Thank you good sir.
Also, a sarcastic thank you for making the slope that much easier to slide down.
I'm going to have to keep my eyes n ears open for some estate pipes.
Edit: haven't used ebay in a long while. Bid on a handful of pipes just now.

I have neither the tools nor the skills to make pipes, so restoring is the closest thing I can do that comes close.
I've not yet restored anything (first one next week) but I am looking forward to smoking a pipe that I've spent the energy restoring.
So, yeah, this is another slope I am charging down at full speed.
Charging or falling?

Charging is right, charging the MasterCard, the Visa, and the Amex...
True, but hey we asked for it right
Bwahahahaha
And another bwahahahaha
Charging. Full steam, dead on run. I have 7 pipes to restore, bought all the necessary stuff, and yet have no idea if I can actually do a decent job.
Yes, it's Dave's fault!
Asked to get pushed
Of course, you sent me stuff that guaranteed me to get hooked.
Didn't help that I was already attracted to piped just as pieces of art
Already have several piped in mind to buy if I ever win the lottery
