: Welcome, Roger,

: You've just joined! (I believe the monthly dues are a pint of Guinness for

: and Robert...)

: As a woodworker, I'm pretty sure those headless pins would not be sufficient
: for use in strip building. There are some significant torques involved in

Respectfully, I must disagree, Glenn - the top twenty posters are swimming in beer ( - really! I saw the pictures - Pruden, Mauer, and Yost, IIRC, plus some young wimmin). They're over their heads in beer, though full disclosure, it appeared to be domestic.

Send your good import and microbrew to me, and I'll ensure it's, if not dispersed, at least disposed of in a timely and efficient manner. Trust me - I'm like the government - I'm here to help you!
