Poo, the last two pics didn't show up! Cool machine! The details are pretty interesting. I want to hear how you clean up the irons. Do you have to dismantle the table?

sweet.

It seems like this board has a limit on how many pictures can be posted at a time - I run into that all the time. You might wait a couple pages and see if it lets you post them later on.
