Awwwww, gawrsh, fellers, thanks for the kind words. This has been a labor of love, and is coming down the home stretch....can you believe it's still not done? Hahahaha.
To do:
sling swivels
polish rr pipes
engrave and case the lock
engrave toe plate
engrave rear swivel escutcheon
final varnish on stock
Speaking of varnish:
EK did not make Dixon's, which saddened me, as I love to say hi, if for only a few minutes. I had also planned to pick up my jar of boiled oil from him. Alas! I'd ask him to ship it when I get back from the Fair, I think to myself. But when I got home, I find the oil on my porch. EK had the consideration to send it. Thanks, Eric.
In the photos above, you can see the humidity hanging in the air. We had great weather, lots of rain, mostly at night, however, so there was little interruption to the show. A great weekend. Thank you all for your kind words and thoughts. They are much appreciated.
Tom
