Hey Steve, not sure if I am doing something wrong, but your attachments will not open up for me. I get an invalid attachment error message. and I am like a little kid. "I wanna see. I wanna see".

You do such beautiful work. I know you just gave your wife of many years a ring, but do you think she will mind if a 63 yo chubby little 'ol lady moves in next door to you! I could soak up your knowledge! Of course I would have to quit my job, move from Wisconsin, say good bye to all my family and friends, pack up all my sewing machines ... hmmmm maybe I will just keep admiring your work from afar... =)


Again you do beautiful work
Karen

Hard to believe but the insert worked! I spend the better part of Saturday evening doing the chiseling but it slipped in pretty easy.
