    I think I might take a blow torch to a piece of poplar and try the CA. If that doesn't work I'll give West a call.

    Why can't I win a 60 1/2? Anti-Gloat

    For the past few weeks I've been trying to snag a 60 1/2 off of "that auction site". I'm not even very picky, as I'm comfortable doing some rehab and restoration.
