Terry,

I was a little worried about this during the rust bluing phase, afraid Murphy would whack you with his law, and a big problem was brewing. To my delight, however,you've succeeded handily! No surprise, really--I could tell from your posts that you were doing the research and seeking the advice from the best sources possible. I'm a hardcore tinkerer myself, and if the other hands-on folks will allow me to say it for them, I think you've made us all look just a little bit better. Teaching oneself a new skill, process, or technique makes the McGuyver in all of us proud. Kudos!
