Glad to hear that my information has proven to be helpful in understanding these damascus patterns!
I see some misuse of commas, but other than that it is very commendable. Commas are tough, at times.
Yes. I sometimes get carried away with commas. This was a challenging subject to illustrate and explain. Each of the illustrations required multiple computer applications to create. Working on it for hours at a time made my head hurt. Constant additions and revisions to the text were necessary, as I attempted to explain what in the illustrations was important to notice. It seems that I was more focused on the illustrations than on eloquent writing.
Doc Drew has already graciously provided me with some better wording for some of the text. I will update shortly.
Ive been promised some high quality photos of the Pieper barrel. Once received, Ill also change out that very poor image in the current document.
Thanks for the appreciation!!
