right down to the wording, of Robert Mussey's "Cabinet Maker's Guide" of 1827. Such plagiarism was fairly commonplce in the period.
Incidentally, if you're hunting such old recipes, Mussey is available from Dover Press as a cheap reprint. They do many of the classic old text too, such as Theophilus and Cellini. Sadly I still haven't found myself a Dossie, or a Stalker and Parker.
Thank you for that. Is this your website?

No, that's a friend's work. I just did the recent restoration job (electrolytic de-rust) on it.
PS - Did you get an email from me last week ?
No my addy is not available by reply here as I have it fouled, I didn't know you sent one. But it is *cravdraa at yahoo period com* and that addy is spammed enough, but go ahead.

See "which is the best .22?" thread....
Okay I got it Andy. That is an awesome page on chemical and finish tutorials man, thank you! I will keep it and study it, maybe print it up and make my own booklet out of it too.
Thanks again,
Alex
