[SEL] Patina on Brass

[Curt]

Sir Gudineff,
Excellent work and we appreciate your documentation and web writing skills.
Did you needle scale the rectangular cap? It looks as old as the engine now!

You did a great job on the concave for the knurled oiler top. I was 
trying to do a concave on a valve for Devin's Baker last summer. You 
know, that gentle sweep under the valve head where it transitions to the 
stem. Oh I sucked on that freehand stuff! I do OK on nice square stuff 
but shapes are a whole 'nother ballgame. I just gave up and made a 2 
piece valve for his engine. I'm impressed how well you did!

Interesting advise on oiling a file. Would have never though of that! I 
always oil a hacksaw blade before sawing to keep it from sticking so it 
make good sense that it would help with files too. Alway something to 
learn on this list.
