Scott;
John Eagle stated that he had a drill press. He is all willing to
host the work site.
John;
Are you still willing to host the work sit on Sun Nov 19th. We need
directions, at least I do.
All;
I will be there and can bring heavy duty extension cord, electric
drill and cordless drill.
Thank You and May God Bless;
Russell G. Knoblach Jr.
