Welcome to the board Ellis, I know you'll learn lots here from a large group of well informed "gentlemen". You'll run across other boards but none that can match this one ---- this is tops.
And yes, even as I type this missive, I still wear no shoes. Guess it's in the blood and being a native rural Carolina boy. I am happy that y'all gave Mr. Ellis such a fine (typical) welcome in order to make him feel at home here, thanks. I would also like to advise that Ellis is coming right along with his engraving and would be a great source for recutting/chasing old engraving for anyone that has a need for such work during the course of a restoration job. His gold border work is very straight, crisp and cleanly done. In the event you have need of his services, I will be working closely with him on all projects.
I would also like to thank all y'all that speak so highly of me, I will continue trying to justify your opinion. Ken
