Message sent....
Good place for that to be, I am thinking! ;)
Charlie, do you have a way to flatten some horn at the shop? I just ripped a 3/8” slab in half and now it looks like something you’d scoop up dip with.
Use the iron. DON'T tell the wife!
I have my own iron, thank you very much!
Hopping on a plane soon. Travel safe, men.
Got a message from Paul. He's still got the mug.
Hot oil soak and then clamp it between two pieces of steel. There is absolutely the stuff there to do that.
I'll get there on the 20th. See ya.
And it starts ....
