ME TOO, MEE TOOO, MEEE TOOOOO!!!!
Listen, this thread is of good interest to me as I love seeing how it
was done before the advent of engins and the process of mechanical items
is still what made us a better place than the caveman era. To be able to
think and try and succeed is good, and I would love to be included in
this building of (HOPE, HOPE) at least two of these braiders. Thanks
