Add me to the list John. I am mostly a lurker, but have asked a couple of ID questions and one on making hammer springs. You may remember that you helped me identify a (probably) Japanese copy of a Westley Richards Connaught. I have since found a second specimen that is nearly identical to the first and is definately Japanese (maker is Mashi). The price was even more ridiculous than the first (although it was in pieces and needed new hammer springs). Thanks again for the identification help.

A mid-life trip to law school has kept me from having the time or money for projects, although I have several that I will get to in the next couple of years. I need to find some way to keep the engineering skills sharp. I graduate in December, so hopefully I will have plenty of questions that need answered in the middle of next year as the shop gets larger and shotgun projects start.
