damn that sure is purdy jim. well done. hey speakin of mads, you stay in contact with him. he always inspired me. i loved all his stories and the things he created. his shop was so warm and cozy. i often said if i ever get to your country you and i will open a good bottle and just spend the day doing nothing. he loved that idea. he was a treasure that i miss. 

working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
