It seems like one of our members here is a blacksmith. Was it....Stephen?...Stephen67?...something like that?
Dang my memory isn't the best in the world

Yeah it was Stephen67, he was showing us some of his work and his knives.

I don't envy the detailer(s) at the body shop. That'll take them a few days to polish.

Looking good!

Shop said the truck would be ready after 3 today so I made arrangements to have it brought back to the barn. When I got to the shop after 2 they said it would not be ready until tomorrow. I called the trucker and cancelled him while he was on the road. He will probably charge me something for the wasted trip. Took some pics and shot a little video. The paint looks like glass after the buffing.
