FINISHED SKINNER- LESS HANDLE. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP WITH MY QUESTIONS ON THE 15N20-01 COMBINATION. I WOULD LIKLEY GO WITH FEWER LAYERS ON THE NEXT ONE FOR MORE DEFINITION BUT I'M PRETTY HAPPY WITH IT. HANDLE TO BE INSTALLED TOMORROW IS MADE FROM THE CANNON BONE FROM THE FRONT LEG OF A HORSE AND THE FINISHED PRODUCT GOES TO AN AUCTION FOR THE ONTARIO FARRIERS ASSOC EDUCATION FUND. WOULD LIKE TO HEAR COMMENTS ON ANY IMPROVEMENTS. THANKS TRIPP

I AM LOOKING FOR A FORMULA OR PROCESS TO COLOUR OR STAIN MILD STEEL A BROWN COLOUR. IT IS A COFFEE TABLE PROJECT WITH VINES AND LEAVES UNDER A GLASS TOP. I HAVE A 20"S MACHINEST MANUEL WITH SOME IDEAS BUT SOME OF THE NEEDED STUFF IS NOW ILLEGAL TO BUY IN CANADA. HOPE SOME OF YOU GUY"S HAVE SOME IDEAS OTHER THAN PAINT. IF THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO I CAN DO THAT BUT WOULD PREFER TO HAVE IT LOOK OLD RATHER THAN "MADE" TO LOOK OLD. THANKS STEVE

LOOKING FOR A MANUEL FOR A FAIRBANKS EZ 11 HAMMER AND ALSO DIES FOR SAME

Look up vet tec products on the web. Try one called superfast. I use it for building extentions on horse foals feet. Almost indestructable and you can file, sand and polish it. Sets up in about 2 min and is 100% solid in 30 min. Real easy to work with. You need to have a special gun to dispence it, well worth the investment. They have several different products. Talk to the local farrier assoc for help. Great idea for the handle. Steve
