TT-(Moderator) 1,127 #9 Posted May 16, 2008 Too bad all you fabricators aren't in one area, I can see "RedSquare Horse Fabricators" popping up. I just wish I was near KS Terry and that shop where he works. I could make good use of all of those fancy machines. Great Job so far, Terry! :WRS: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

catman81056 3 #11 Posted May 16, 2008 You can really tell when a man loves what he's doing, he goes that "extra" step further. And neatness comes automatically. Great job :whistle: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
