Pretty excited about these Teepees!

That looks so nice and solid. Are you going to cab it?

Nice ones Mike!!

I like the purple tone in the one fortification band. That's really sweet looking!

manofglass - Good Job Walt!

stefan - I would bet a Fairburn or two that he is going to cab them!

(I won't make that bet with Mike though...he'd say "no" just to win the bet! LOL)

Sweet! Looking forward to seeing the cabs (and then the wraps).

Robin

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

-- C.S. Lewis

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
