Thanks Jim. It's been a lifetime - on and off as I tended to family and career. Much more intensely since retirement and to fill the voids of empty nest syndrome.

Well David, I use the most basic and simple tools - $7 jewelers saw frame and extra blades of varying size and a simple $5 set of jewelers files. Both are available at most hobby stores, hardware and jeweler supply stores. I also use a small anvil and vise and a cutting block and cheap butane torch. Ralph
