Well it very well might, but I'm saying you shouldn't count on it.
Years ago we had a man who was the first "live steamer" in our area, and to
his credit in his prime he was a superb craftsman, but he re

pieces, but h

faces are very accurately machined. Admittedly. 3/4" scale, but that

the election goes, have you ever heard of the electoral college? GREAT
