[TheForge] Mastermyr II List of Items Update 2

Thu Jun 20 22:36:00 2002

Been looking over your past posts on the grill, starting to plan things.
What sizes of stock did you use? As you said, the ,45 cm looked totally off,
and the other sizes look a bit suspect. OTOH, your grill, or the pix i've
seen, look proportionally right on. Starting to make a shopping list.....
