Greetings all;

The gcode blanket chest file has grown, and is driving me barzakers at 
times.  Its not a long trip. ;-)

Its as if its out of named global variable space, or named conditional 
labels space and getting the names mixed up.  Variables change values 
with nothing changing them,

All this because you cannot troubleshoot a subroutine, any errors in it 
are blamed on the line calling it.  That has a relatively high grade 
vacuum suckage after a while.

Are there plans afoot to address that lack at some point?

So I have been about 10 hours a day since last Friday, converting it into 
more or less 100% inline code with probably 50 or more conditionals to 
control the flow, finally getting it in shape to do a test carve in #1 
clear white pine just this evening.  _If_ I can catch this warping and 
waining mahogany as it seasons in my heated garage I'll be doing even 
better.  I ripped out some 3/4x1.25 trim strips a few days ago, and it 
sometimes got a death grip on the riving knife of my table saw.  2 more 
strips off the same board later it would be hanging open 3/8" 2 feet 
past the knife.  My pin meter says it's about 4.1 to 5.3% moisture.  

Considering that the worlds supply of mahogany has been sunk in a river 
in Honduras for around 100 years, pulled up and dried in the last year, 
its probably the best I can get.

Now my biggest problem is the size diffs between the good white pine, and 
the nearly 1 thousand bucks worth of mahogany in nominally the same S4S 
size.  Its not at all consistent even in thickness, varying as much as 
28 thou over the width of a 1x12 board.

But I think I am making progress, the fitted joints are looking decent 
with less than 5 minutes of sanding with 320 grit per board end, 
something that was closer to 3 hours for both ends of a board when I 
made the first one.

I am however, in the process of losing the 2nd set of switches I use on 
the jig's gage motor.  Is there such a thing as a switch in that 
physical size formet with contacts that can survive a 750 milliampure 
motor?  These $5 a bag of 10 fleabay specials ain't those.

Thanks all.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
