Don,
TEXICO - South of the checkpoint and north of the river... in the garden spot of the RGV - Harlingen..
I'm just up the road from you.. I got an invite to come visit, but just haven't had time.. will call before I show up on your doorstep.
Greg

There ain't no garden spot in the RGV, Greg. But don't tell anyone else that.
I'll look forward to your visit. I've got an assisted opening folder for you to see if you get here before somebody buys it, and I'm currently building a couple more Barlows.
Bring John Hess from Johnny's Tru value with you.

Thanks Bob. The mesquite will be on its way to. If it won't work for a handle, it'll cook a heck of a hamburger.

Go to your local Home depot for TSP. It's actually called TSP substitute now. You can also use Coka Cola for your solution.The TSP comes in a little square box in a powdered state. I just built an anodizing setup myself. Pretty slick, I wish I would have figured this out a long time ago. I bought my B rectifier at a local electrical supply house. I also had a problem finding one at radio shack. You can find variac autotransformers on ebay all day long. A tip..... make sure your part holder (the piece holding your liners connected to the positive alligator clip) is also made of titanium.

Forgot to reply about getting the mesquite. To purdy to cook with so it will be used on a knife I guess.
Thanks.

Yeah, that was a neat piece, thought you'd like it. I have more like that and may offer it later on to the guys when I get a stabilizer built. Thanks again for the BR, finished my first folder today because of it. Will post photo later this evening I hope.
