Who in their right mind would do that? His wife must have been pissed!!!

BTW, burned-on dirt and sawdust can be easily removed with a quick soak in vinegar--don't use a green scratch pad--they will make the crud stick even worse the next time! (And don't ask me how I know this!)

: Some time ago there were a few references to one of this group's members
: using a steam iron to bend strips in place, i.e., without using a steam
: box. Can someone point me to where those posts are in the archives, or
: repost the one(s) describing the technique? T.I.A.,
