Is there a yahoo group for the dream machine?

===Carborundum? I remember things like angle grinding discs being silicon
carbide bonded with some sort of resin. Anyway, we have an old CNC lathe
down at school which should nicely do for the turning, it has a tape drive
still, awwww. What do you learn at gun school? I'd be quite interested in
learning more about how guns are hand made, are there any books you've read
that are good?
