Nice hunting guys with some outstanding finds. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for replying Ron. I had been wondering if you undertook the restorations yourself or if they might have been "farmed out" to a specialist. Glad to see you doing the work yourself and learning as you go. Nothing takes the place of hands-on experience for the enhancement of a project. I also appreciate your willingness to insure that people viewing the finds know just what they are seeing. That's integrity. You may have already done so, but I was thinking a video on how to do some restorative work would be of great interest to all of us. I remember that your vid on your electrolysis units is what spurred me to do my own. Good luck on your hunts and keep the info flowing.

I really enjoyed the video.
