Thanks Jim!
Thanks Pick!
Thanks Darryl! I often think of the same thing, wish I would of hung on to all that is now gone. Problem is I would have to get rid of all the junk I have to make room :-)
Thanks Steve!
Thanks AGP #!
Thanks James! The barnwood for the body comes from a barn on the farm where my Grandma was born, dates to around 1880. It was the lining on the inside of the oatbin, I was lucky enough to be able to salvage all the wood before the barn was torn down.
Thanks BH!
Thanks Dave!
Great vintage look you got on it, very nice!
Terrific Plate and build as usual Mr Maddog, I admire the way the hardware is added, so as to maintain the integrity of the Plate.
Like this one a lot.
