Your game has improved dramatically! It feels like just yesterday that I was viewing your first custom scales, they were very good, these look excellent!
Right on man.
Any details about how you did the inlay? ... I've got to do some soon and was just thinking tonight about how to.. just going over the process in my mind.

Great job Outback.

Nice job as always outback. I'm up late.............back killing me!!! Not gonna whine about it though, just can't sleep. It's that time of year again & some want to celebrate by drinking & driving so if you know of someone who is doing this, please take their car keys away from them until they sober up so they don't injure or kill someone. Sadly, it is usually the drunk driver that survives these accidents yet they end up injuring or killing one or more people.......

Big Bill did some drinking. Luckily, he had only one wreck, single car, his. He went off the road and was thrown from the car (pre seatbelt years). He wasn't injured and I heard him tell someone, 'Doctor said if I wasn't drunk, I probably would have been hurt.' Not funny really, but it illustrates the mind of someone controlled by alcohol.
I had my own mishap behind oxy (prescribed). Again, like Big Bill, I was in a single car wreck. The GPS was covered up by my farmer handkerchief on the passenger seat. I reached over to move it and I guess I was looking down too long. I looked up and had drifted way to the left. I overcorrected, the back came loose, and the car sliced across two lanes and a shoulder...down an embankment, slam into a runoff ditch and up a hill to a stop. I sat and wondered if I was hurt for a minute then got the car back onto the shoulder, pulled out a fender, grabbed bumper material from the ground and changed a flat. Then I continued on my mission: to go to an antique shop to look for, you guessed it, shaving paraphernalia. No scores at the antique shop. The car was totaled due to bent frame.
Good advice Steve. Reasonable people, if possible, should look after the out of control ones. Sadly, they can't look after themselves and too often impact the innocent.

Mike..
There is a post here in the thread somewhere. On the subject of inlays. That is how I did it.
It was from when Tom was doing the devil inlay.
Wax paper and scotch tape.
Put tape on wax paper.
Make a template out of it.
Remove tape from wax paper, put tape on scales, glue with slow cure CA.
