It takes just a little bit of courage and naivete to attack something like that as a first endeavor, and a whole lot of determination to see it through. I have enjoyed the postings you have made in the past few years and really hope I made comments that were of value.

Great drums, great restorations, great photos. Good to have you here at VDF. :p

And Ploughman - you never have to ask, your posts are -always- informative and a good read. There are only a few guys in the forum that when I spot their name on a post, I'll automatically stop and read it. You are one of them. Thanks for your always great contributions to the forum.

John

Too many great drums to list here!
