Turned out good gonzo!
Thank you for your guidance and also RezDog. You both helped out with my maiden voyage of restoring.Quote:

appreciate the kind words. Ia m sure you can teach me a few things to tweak my next restore. Will you be able to make meeting? You were not sure. I hope so, we can have a good discussion about restoration and such.Quote:

As for the meetup, still up in the air on whether I'll make it.
Yes, I will need to do a wedge. I am going to work on a Joseph Rodgers next. Hoping you can make the meeting.Quote:

No risk of wiping your finger prints off in the sander.
