.  gave me a chance to wreck some of Brent Christensen's good work.

I had made 6 of the steak turners with basket handles and never did like them.  Not enough material to forge bottle openers so I cut off the baskets and riveted the bottle openers to the ends.  The gecko on the left was my try piece and got reworked 3 or 4 times.  Got the bugs worked out and the next on turned out fine.  Now, if only the gallery was working.

Hi, Gene

I like your work that you have been...." Fooling around with" ... Don't worry about the home page gallery. Just remember to bring your nice work to our conference gallery in May. I hope you will consider putting a nice work of what you have been doing, in the conference auction.  We are inviting the public to attend our auction in May and I know someone would love to bid on your nice steak turner or gecko opener.   Good luck and..peace.

I saw a demo on piping an eye punch and tried it.  IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!  So I used it.  Still working the bugs out of the geckos but I think I got a handle on them now.
