And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Years ago I watched a documentary on the German apprenticeship system. An apprentice metalworker was asked what he had done for his first 6 months. I filed he said.
Turned out to be true. Every size, shape and cut of file, every level from super fine to ultra coarse, applied to every metal and alloy in every configuration- round, flat, tubular et endless cetera. All hand files.
My dad was trained in Germany as a metalworker. I asked him it it was true and he said it was. Wow.
Okay CW, you talked me into it. Those are perfect for my new hobby or as my lovely missus calls it, obsession. Restoring antique shotguns. It started out as just one Damascus barreled double. Then I started finding oddball orphans that no one really collects. Please, someone start an Gunbroker.com intervention before I drain my IRA......
