I've got to finish some auto repair before I can take time to cast, but at least I can read a little here before bed lol

Looks like quite a few members added since way back when.

Life got in the way of my casting experience. Used to be quite active here and at my casting bench. Now I will be again.

My love to you...

I appreciate it Rick, that is where I'm stuck. I think i can do a good enough job of it just with sandpaper. Just need to to take the time

LOL maybe. I checked them about a month ago and they actually might still be viable. Obviously this project has gone nowhere, I really ought to do something with it.

No you didn't offend me. I thought it was funny, actually it reminds me of myself when I first started hunting around for a way to fix the thing. I encourage you to send bulltipper a pm. He's all...

ya mine came in today too, haven't opened it but I know it's fine.

Thanks very much Swede. Now you're on my Christmas card list hehe

Don't take this the wrong way swede, but I'd sure appreciate it if you had a way of making this a little less confusing. I saw where you said your delivery schedule is posted in the vendor sponsor...

I'll send beer. Just tell me where to send it. Seriously. Man does not live by bread alone.

Miha, you 'll go to heaven for sure! Must feel good in these days of widespread unemployment and unstable economies to have people clamoring for your products.

Bulltipper you old seabiscuit. Did you get any fish yesterday?

Your enthusiasm is appropriate j20, this item is a wonderful thing of beauty
