    Question Is There a Welcome Mat at My Door?

    Is there a welcome mat at my door Does it say "Creekers stop bye, Talk WW. and share some valuable information" .
    There is, and I'm glad .
    Creeker Charlie Kocourek stopped over with all kinds of good info on the LV MK11. Interesting suggestions that weren't included in the users manual.
    He brought a simple but very useful jig and tool rest to give speed & control on the sharpening process. CK showed me how to utilize consumables from the much more expensive Lap Sharp system to get a 2X scary sharp finish.
    Finally a creeker that doesn't bump his head in my shop .
    Thanks Charlie.
    The welcome mat is always out.

    You might want to consider an SMC guest room in your ongoing remuttling. If we ever have a "Most visited SMCer" contest, you'll have a commanding lead.

    Looks as if a real nice visit took place Tyler.
    Keep that Welcome Mat out, and you never know who'll show up.

    Creeker's Welcome Mat

    The Creek sells hats. Why not a 'Creeker's Welcome Mat'?
