I'm just a "newbie" compared to most. I remember stumbling on here because sxs are what I like the most, I have a few o/u, but prefer sxs and especially "elsies". In the very begining I had a problem with putting an "elsie" back together and Russ helped me through the whole process even though he had just explained it a short time before. He took the time and did it.
I always liked the posts from Oscar, I would go back into the past pages and read them.

There is so much information and wisdom on here that books could be written about it.
I have posted and asked for help on a few things, and everyone was gracious to help with what they knew.
I've read posts here about bluing and even taking dents out, and now I feel comfortable in doing both the bluing and etching, and have taken some dents out.

This is a great place and I agree that politics and name calling don't belong here.
I hope this site can stay the way it is and the only thing that can make it go wrong is us.
