Greetings Caladin,

I wanted to publicly thank you for your generosity in making this  
offer in the first place. I'm one of those who would not have gotten  
the full use of this tool, the forge blower I picked up several years  
ago still sits in my garage, so I wouldn't have been putting in a bid  
but I appreciate the thought.

And I appreciate your explanation of the different shears you  
described. I've not done a lot of sheet metal work since Jr. High  
School where the shop had, I think, a beverly shear. I really wasn't  
aware there were a number of different types.

Stefan
