Your modifications/enhancements are well executed Jim.

I really liked your solution for the burner holder.

And, a wonderful job on the video (the icing on the cake).

Great to see you in a position to work on projects again. Good for the Soul.

Cheers,
Charlie

Thanks Charlie, hope your enjoyed your month out on your ranch.

Beautiful Jim, looks like you’ve got it all ready for me... still have my address?  ;)

I was just watching this on youtube and realized it hasn’t arrived... Is it stuck in customs?

I spoke to Robert Olds a few months before Christmas and he said they had a few for sale. I know from correspondence with Ronald Walters that he bought one of them.

I know what you had done to it but was it assembled or was it a kit and you had to do the machining?
