Agreed, but who lets their young teenage kids roam free at that time of night? Where were the now grieving parents? My young 20ish year old girls still have an 11:30 - midnight curfew on weekends and 10:30 on school nights.

I remember at least one of those Joey and I was envious. Been a huge fan of AIC for a long time, front row seats will be just perfect.

It was way cool to see you as well Peter. Yes we should get together when the nice weather stays put, I'd be up for that. The show was awesome indeed, my daughters thoroughly enjoyed it and we'd all love to see it again. As a side note the morning after the show I scored front row seats for Alice in Chains in Aug. Whooooo-hooooo!

It was another great evening and way cool to see some of the members here join us for the evening. Thanks to all who came out.....*burp*

Well as promised here's an update on an idea taken a little further. The front reel seat hood is fully encapsulated in wood trying to get a seamless flow from cork to front hood to reel seat. Cheers

I'll be at the Brit Floyd show next week here in Hamilton Peter, hopefully we'll cross paths.

This evening's entertainment.....

I only stumbled upon it Peter thanks to an invite from great friend. You truly missed an awesome rare event show in your own backyard. Would have been amazing to have crossed your path that night, perhaps next time....

....and this.... )

What I saw last Saturday in Oakville, awesome show! Thanks Bud. )

I dread the day it comes to my home Lew. I'm totally in sync with your thoughts no doubt. Marvin was fortunate to have you and your loved ones in his world every day.

Personally I'd recommend nothing but if you must I'd avoid winding finish in favour of products designed for cork. Wood sealers like Thompsons are another option. Gun stock oil is also popular with some builders.

Same here (40/40). Totally agree with the juvenile/parr comment. That would definitely toughen it up.

Thanks everyone, truly appreciated. I'm not out of ideas yet and have some new designs in the making, I'll update when I think I've got a worthy result.

Welcome aboard Dave nice to have you with us.

Ahhhhh, so this is what Ron was talking about yesterday. Perhaps I should listen to him more closely.... Nicely done guys, I do remember the report.

Thanks PN. I know of a few blade models that will fit unfortunately none are 7" which is of course what I desire. 8" will work (6" won't). Perhaps buying the 8" and machining them down will be my only option. The search continues.

Hello all First off Happy New Year to all. I've not been around too much as of late due to being quite busy. But I have a few minutes and wanted to share with you all what has kept me away...... In no particular order some of my custom rod work over the last few months. Best wishes to all in the coming year.

Hi FG, welcome to OFC. We have some of the best steelheaders here for sure, stay tuned!

Here's a few pictures of mine from this morning showing the markings. It was purchased in the late 80's and still has the original blades. Though if anyone knows where I can find new ones (blades) I'd appreciate it.

I have the exact auger, had it for over 30 years now. It's a 7" Normark Fin-Bore III As for your wing nut issue, have you considered swapping it out for a steel one?

Saw them in the spring and hope to see them again this coming year....? Can't keep me out of the mosh pit.

This is from last Monday with Hugh Cornwell (The Stranglers) . Saw him in TO the night before then again the following night here in Hamilton at a private venue owned by a friend (200 people) . Sitting and chatting with him and the band members after both shows was way cool. Props to my good friend who got me there and back for both shows. Yes if you know my voice you'll hear me.

I'll be seeing this tonight at Lee's Palace and again tomorrow night at a small 200 seat venue in Hamilton... Party on!

You done way good young man, I go through similar hell almost weekly and get "it" entirely! If you ever want to talk fire me a PM and I'll give you my phone number.
