Yeah, Wade brings a couple of these each year to the Baltimore antique show. The workmanship is really impressive.

That is one lucky kid! It's also a bit inconsiderate of Wade...how are mere mortal dads and grandpops

This is actually a project I am working on this year for my page- great ideas, I love the 3/4 plate, a great combination of function, looks, and easy use.

I won't start untill January but these are excellent pictures- I think the socks may cause irritation.

Greetings Sir Blackwolf!

  My apologies to you and Don Diego for not welcoming you to the site sooner. I have been at
 studies as of late and have had a TRULY AWESOME season with the good Sirs of Edward, Brian,
 and James. Lest they not be forgotten, the Ladies of said company I'm told have had a grand
time themselves! May the light increase!
