[Noisebridge-discuss] Help with mini lathe, please!

[Taylor Alexander]

If you order from McMaster Carr in the next 3 hours, you'll get everything
you need either tomorrow or Friday. Just make sure the stuff is in stock and
shipping from their Los Angeles office. But if its just bolts, it should be.

Alternatively, see if there is a Grainger locally that has the stuff in
stock.
