guess not.....

nearly 4 weeks past when the oily ale party....

where's the freakin' rods

on the way yet?

could you add in just a bit of whatever you had .....please

Do we have an ETA yet?

careful not to cut through the center , some have a ceramic core that really buggers up blades

next time buy some argentinium silver It dosn't tarnish like sterling but is just as strong, heck for an inlay I'd use fine silver it's even brighter

whoever ordered the 70mm rod If you would sell ~ 4 inches please PM me
thanks

you have me down twice for tan yellow?
ordered red and blue
typo I hope...

any more info on the flat bars/sheet?
