[TheForge] oxy-propylene/Henrob

[Peter Fels And Phoebe Palmer]

Hi Clyde;
I ditched the clunky aluminum handle and the cutting tube on my 
Henrob and liked it a lot better...then somebody walked into the 
shop, cut the hoses and stole it off the wall...goofy! They 
couldn't have known what it was.
I'm presently dinking away at cutting another one down even 
further..it has a lot of excess weight still.
