1) this post came to me at the same time that i posted that perhaps i erred. wacky internet! 2) i assumed that the pictured lug was carved from a blank. i couldn't find any attachments that tom referred to. 2a) was it stated, or just conjectured, that the lug was 'made', and not just 'filed up'? 3) i only share my red twizzlers ar gunpoint, or to get a date. ergo, they are my most prized asset.

e-RICHIE wouldn't this be easier if we all just called each other...
