Well, I'm not sure what he'll do. Last I heard he was on his way out the door to go lookin for a pair of designer sunglasses and maybe a pair of tight leather pants....... ooops, better get some hair dye, too.



Sorry, Bill, couldn't pass up an opportunity like that.....

great job bill

 

[B . Buxton]

Thanks again everyone, its quite an honor to have something I've made put in among all those really great makers. You all have really helped me with your tutorials, suggestions and comments. Given me the inspiration to keep pluggin away. Thank you

Fitz, I agree on the sunglasses and for sure the hair dye, need to lose some of this grey. But the leather pants won't happen. Would make good forging pants though.

Thanks Buddy,

Bill

 

[J. Neilson]

Great job Bill. You definately deserve it, no doubts. Can't wait to see it.

 

[fitzo]

Actually, I might have the leather pants here in the closet, from biker-boy days! Might fit you... they've really "shrunk" a lot over the years. Alternatively, i suppose i could belt em somewhere down around my knees...

As for the gray hair... hell, that's just a badge that ya managed to make it long enough to have it. i sure as hell never thought I'd see 50. And now i wonder how long before I can't remember 50, anymore.

As for the honor, you deserve it. Happy to see you in there.
