Got my copy today. I sat in my favorite restaurant and read it cover to cover over dinner tonight. Excellent! And the full color pictures throughout are awesome! Good job all. [clap] [:Y:] [clap] I will be making some heat blanket bending forms using the method suggested in the newbie section this weekend.....

AZ...Great article and fantastic photos! This is a keeper! You give me far too much praise for editing! I can see a few "grammatical misses"! [uncle]

I'm just honored to know that an Archie Boy such as yourself would even want to associate with a mere flattop builder such as me! laughing6-hehe beehive

But I will continue to pursue my elevation to your level as I conspire to reduce you to mine! laughing6-hehe

Looking forward to seeing you soon, my friend!

Hesh--You wouldn't believe how much I had to pay Anthony for the plug. :D

Great job Anthony! You took a rather dry subject and made it reader friendly.

None the less, there has to be some degree of masochistic tendency involved in trying to bend a strip of wood around a 1/4" radius.

I have an idea.

After AZ signs Al's butt cheek we should send Al around all over the world to OLFers and everyone should have the opportunity to sign Al's butt. :D Rod told me that it was big enough........... :D

Folks thanks for all the kind comments, that together with your acknowledgement is very much appreciated.

As for you clowns I call my close and personal friends………your benevolence is well noted [uncle] [uncle]

As for Al's ahem, butt -- I was thinking that instead of autographing it we should ah graft it with a wedgie!
