I went to see Skip yesterday with Joeq and met Merc300D. What a crew Anyway I have to give it up for Skip he is a master craftsman of the highest order. No matter what or how many questions I pestered him with regarding to my Stewart "science project", he always answered graciously. Once he even told me not to complicate things
Thanks Skip!
Oh and great to meet you Kevin...I can tell you are a true junkie

Guys,
Next time, maybe, we should have a scheduled "Boston area meet'n greet" at Wilson's. I love drooling over the '50's cars, and his huge inventory of antique stoves. It's aah....Amazing!
No doubt about it-Wilson is a 'Master Craftsman'
Cheers

You got that right Kevin. I spent 7 hours there on his "tour" and it seemed more like just a couple of hours. Must be some stove/space/time continuum thing !Merc300d wrote:Lol.

Want to thank Scott again, for allowing me to ride shot-gun in his High performance panel truck. Always a pleasure to ride in style.
And Kevin, also a pleasure to make your acquaintance. We'll get to meet again, when we get those gas rings re-popped.
Paul, I did get to put my hands on your G6 brick molds and was fascinated by the simplicity, yet accuracy of them. Wilson had nothing but good to say about you, and your work.
Lastly, it's always an eye opening experience at the "Mull Museum". You can tell Wilson is a worker, because anyone that can remember where an item is, in his "vast" inventory, has to be continually active, and I was rewarded with a perfect pipe cap to fit my G111. Another good day.

Wait a minute. Nothing like a "self-invite". Maybe Skip should have a say? (Of course the details would be worked out with his wishes in mind). He does have a lot on his plate, but other optional meeting areas are available, if this were to be pursued. Just sayin, no offense meant.

I'd say no P for my place but I only have two stoves
Perhaps Skip will weigh in ?

Guys,
My thinking was, that if we needed an item out of Wilson's inventory, we could arrange to be there the same day. I did not intend for Wilson to host a "black tie dinner party" for us.
Cheers

I can see it now.....
Sun shining
Pigs roasting
Grills smoking
Guns shooting
Kegs pouring
Girls dancing
Stoves glowing
Chevelle rumbling
Music blaring
