mdrs Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Boggs; You look very distinguished without the hole in your forehead!!! :grin: :grin: Watch out, though, cause you brain might overheat now..... There is only one thing bad about French polish....why do we have to call it "French" LOL.....kidding, JUST KIDDING maybe........ Seriously, it's lovely....a beautiful finish, helping accentuate the striking grain pattern. There is something about pieces of trees.....especially pieces that look like that, and that will sound like that will certainly sound like! It's very primal. Top notch work, and a very unique design, IMHO. Right on Boggs Don "There once was a note, Pure and Easy.

Boggs Posted March 10, 2007 Author Share Posted March 10, 2007 No... The neck plate is recessed on this one. The Bridgeport is a wonderful tool in the hands of somebody who knows it like the back of his hand as my machinist does...
