My current total is for raw material, screws, pins, spring wire, gears, and the reamers I
need. I remember this from a year and a half ago when I was buying stuff. What you want?
My invoices?


Nah. Hell, just send the kit so far. Got my address? gd&r


In your dreams




The wheels could be fun. The idea of shrinking a steel tire over a wheel sounds more
appealing than just putting a brass decorative strip on.


Drop by your library and pick up a copy of _The Wheelwright's Shop_ by
George Sturt. Wunnerful read. Elm's the ticket for hubs, or was.


My library doesn't have it. Then I did Amazon and one of the reviews said the one I was
looking at was the abridged version only containing the how-to's. I'll have to do some
research on this one. I'd like the how-to along with the stories that is in the original.

We may have some elm, I remember uncle taking down some elm that he was worried would die
anyway, I'll have to ask what he cut it into. I know I don't have any here.

Thanks for the pointer.
