Chuck, You are a brave man, My 1st "Strip and attempt to Re-Lay' was a miserable, miserable, Failure! It ended up in a package, and was mailed to Nubs Fashingbauer,Lac du Flambeau, Wis.(1968) When he returned the Finished Job, his letter told me to Stay cutting Wood,,, I did attempt it one more time,on my 2nd attempt at'Sleeving"..after the ribs twisted like a corkscrew,molten tin dropped on to the sleeping Dog,(Vet bill $65.00..1969 $$$s)The 'Then Wife, opened up with a fire extinguisher when the wood floor 'Burst into flames' as balls of solder dropped into a mess of french-walnut shavings.You have my admiration for your achievement in this world of Gunmaking! (I wonder if any of the "Pro's" will comment on your Job??) cc/dt
