Michael,

Something I would suggest on the bargrill- have you considered going verticial on the bars instead of horizontal? with a slight angle, say 5-10 degrees off vertical for the bars? Makes for a more pleasing helm, and the slight angle helps stop the optical stacking in your field of vision. If you don't get what I mean, I'll send you a pic of my hats. Helps reduce the "football helmet effect"

All I can hear in my head when I look at your biirthday project picture is Jethro Tull's "Locomotive Breath" :lol:

Many happy returns of the day- may you have many more "interesting" birthdays ahead of you.

I have alot of old patterns that I'm not useing anymore, I don't think I'll be able to make it to the armour-in due to it's time for my new wife's and my vacation to see her family. (OH FUN !!) I haven't posted new patterns due to India and places like that, but I can send them. Besides I neen your address Halbert so I can send this pig. ( I lost your address )

Or if anyone would like to come up to Ky. and work and learn here for a week. (advanced leasons, no ground 0's, must have armour experiance) It takes to long to get ground 0's started.

Here is a peice that I just finished
