There is a big difference between altering a lock and painting grain on wood , something that has been done for hundreds of years , artistic may be but its not "art" nor is it original as its been done by many others before hand and is/has been done on an industrial scale by modern day Italian makers .
I do not denigrate the skill of those who do such work as I resect all craftsmen's ability as I would expect others to respect mine .

Altering the mechanics of the gun is a different thing to which my original comments were addressed .

Sir, thank you for clarifying your original comments. I frankly found your Mona Lisa comment to be quite insulting and dismissive of my opinion, but after further reflection, I'm just going to chalk it up to misunderstanding. We're in the same boat, and as long as we extend the courtesy of respecting each other's opinions, there's no reason we shouldn't be able to get along famously, and keep rowing the boat in the same direction.

Have a nice day.

To Dave, Sam, George, Toby: thank you very much. Go Hawks!

Sometimes the problem with the British/Americans is that they speak English not English like a proper British/American. And God help me understand Australian English sometimes. Glad it works both ways sometimes. Sometimes you say things that seem clear to you but not to those who hear them.

It is like having raised teenagers in three different decades. They all speak or text something I think I understand and we call English but I am certain they are Klingon using a Microsoft software interrupter program, other times I understand they are Borg and were are here to serve them.

Go Hawks. I can not stand to hear them, the talking heads, preach how Brady and his coach invented football.

I, too, am a fan of Mark's work as he has saved the bacon for me on a couple of projects. As for George's "productive" hobby of flintknapping, it is more appropriate to describe it as "cutting edge". I've seen his work and he is the Rodin of flintknappers. I'd ask him to post photos of his work, but that involves a lot of technological work for a self-proclaimed, modest caveman. wink Gil
