Merry Christmas to all

[Evan]

You guys are a lot like an extended family to me. It's the only real social contact I have since I retired.

I did some messing around with the mill last night and today and engraved another copper ring. On it is engraved, in a fancy font, the Lord's Prayer in classical Latin. It's a gift to the first person that asks for it.

Merry Christmas

That is really neat Evan. I guess some people might consider me borderline supserstitious when it comes to my religion. I always carry around a rosary and I am a "sucker" for this kind of thing. Carrying something like that around helps me be a better person and helps me feel closer to God. (Regardless of whether a God exists or not, I figure it helps me keep my "cool" and reminds me to treat others better)

I'll let it go to someone more deserving, but I just wanted to say that I think that is a fantastic idea. Merry Christmas to you too!

I'll trade you some shaper parts for one that says "Harley-Davidson" in block letters!

Actually you get the shaper parts anyway, but a 7/8" copper HD ring would be cool. I can build a presentation box for it and put it on my charitable auction site: http://EddieKieger.com/

Things like this have been known to bring in hundreds of dollars for the charitable fund.

You have a happy Christmas Evan, I am sure that i speak for many of the Home Shop members, when i say, We will think of you over the miles, at some stage, during the xmas period, That is really lovely workmanship, Have a blessed time.

I can do that Dennis but it will have to be 3/4 id instead of 7/8ths. I don't have anything at 7/8ths, I think. At least not in copper. No problem in brass or bronze or stainless steel. Maybe SS would be a better choice?

A Merry Christmas to you and your family as well, Evan.

That would be great, Evan. Any metal at all is fine and stainless is more "biker" than copper . Just don't burn a lot of time or bits on it!

Thanks, sir, and best wishes for a very happy Christmas and productive new year.

Merry Christmas Evan and if no one has asked for it I would be proud to have the ring you engraved.

Send me a PM Carl with your address details and I will send it out Monday. I don't think it will arrive before Christmas but it might.
