Title: Hey Surus, check this out
Post by: Tennessee Whiskey on April 25, 2019, 10:21:37 PM: So, one of our members stopped by the old sweat shop today and we did a dope, er, I mean castings deal in the parking lot :lolb: :lolb:. I’ll let y’all guess, but, I’m guessing it won’t be too hard to figger out 8). Thanks to KVOM for aging the castings and the “back door delivery service” . I’m starting a small stash in hopes of “glory days” 8)

Nope can't open the box, it will drop the value considerably. :lolb:
Nice score Eric!

Now he will want me back finishing off the Triple Orphans before I am allowed more castings :toilet_claw:

I'll try to convince him that it is just an empty box you are trying to tease him with :noidea:

Jo

P.S. The box says "Wedmore Road, Cheddar" which means it dates from before the undersized castings problems Stuarts had ;)

Post by: Tennessee Whiskey on April 26, 2019, 03:18:56 PM: Thanks for looking folks. Yeah, I peeped in the box. Everything except the cylinders are still shrink wrapped. I’m not sure how long Kirk has been aging them. Dave, the biggest depreciation won’t happen until I start working on it :lolb: :facepalm: Bill, more pictures this weekend.
