    Ian,

    Wise choice in friends Magnificent all round exceptional swap in every instance deep thought kindness expressed in choices of blanks (endless) engraving of the boxes, detailed covering of your hobby, likes personally exhibited with grace and finness.

    To Amos truly typical of you to go the extra ten miles or twenty with your skills and downright decency that never fails, privilidged to know and call you my friend.

    Kind regards to you both.

    Ian you must be over the moon with that swap, as was said, you made a good choice of a friend.


    Amos, that was most generous of you. You certainly went the extra 20 or so miles on this one.

    Thanks Ian and thanks Peter, your friendship is valued, I have been helped greatly by this Forum , by advice and by practical help, over the years, many have given me blanks quite freely, and good stuff at that,! Peter is one of them, but there are many others, some rarely post now, but they are around, in the early days, some came over and guided me with my equipment, and gave great hands on advice. What concerns me is that I may forget some great kindness, or forget to acknowledge a gift, if I have so done, then just tell me!!! " hey mate-remember I gave you a piece of Red Gum!ha!"
    So Ian, don't worry about words, it is quite evident that you liked the swap and to me, that is what counts the most, Amos
    Good, better, best, never let it rest;
    Til your good is better, and your
    better, best.
