crossedchisles,
I'm afraid the Dillinger Museum is no longer in Nashville. Me and my lady met Jack and Barb Haugh over there last fall (about this time) for lunch and gun talk. He had never been to the museum so we checked around - finally making our way to the visitor's center where thay gave us the bad news. Next time I'm through I'll stop to ask where the contents wound up - if anyone knows!
In a conversation with Jack this last weekend your name came up - something about meeting Dan McCombs in your Indy shop and trading work on a Parker. He said you were checkering a fine piece of walnut with a "broom handle" attached to the head & held in a vise. We were discussing my lack of "proper" checkering accessories - I don't have a cradle and only use hand tools - I haven't justified a power checkering tool yet.
