Several pieces in there that I am surprised to see, and several that don't get much exposure. Good stuff man.

What exactly are you using to hang your blades, the ones like the 2 holding the Xa.s?

I use the 3m Command sticky hooks... they come in a bunch of sizes and stick to the wall... and you can take em off and apply new sticky tape to em and move em pretty easily.

You have some of my best blades Chuck... and they are in some good company over there.

I met yet be selling a few more Dave... Hot Tubs ain't cheap. :-(

Woah, its been a while since i've seen your collection, last time it was when we discussed about Mad Dwarf...
Very nice but i'm not impressed, i knew you had a great collection

It reminds me why i like this section of the forum so much !

mrstabby: Been thinking the same - but the person that set up the page might not be there anymore and old code gets messy when not maintained. Might be a "repair subscriptions, destroy function X, repair X, destroy Y" situation by now - would mean a total overhaul. Nov 18, 2024 7:29:27 GMT

eastman: problems with the forum software are the cause, not a goal to limit the club. There is an error with the software that messes up activities that require the sending of email. Nov 18, 2024 3:57:36 GMT

choseychas: That's what I figured, wasn't sure if it had become a limited club where you have to know someone to get in or what was going on. Nov 18, 2024 2:39:40 GMT
