Looks like you did a great job.  Careful, you'll get hooked.

Yeah, that's what happened to me.  I've gone on to treating old tools and other iron items for people, along with my own artillery.  I really enjoy restoring relics and I feel it gives me good purpose.  Nice side hobby.  Learn as you go.

i've done gun kits, cars, restored guns and bayo's, antique furniture, now shells. I also want to return to blacksmithing soon, enjoyed it when younger. do one thing for awhile, then want to try something else. takes me hrs to clean a shell by hand, I find it very relaxing
