No, Lou, nothing could be farther from the truth. It killed me to work on this for 15 minutes a night and have to put it down. I kept the long-range goal in mind. I'm learning patience, I don't yet have much of it....

Sid, that's probably a good way to go about it. Kind of minimizes the frustration!

That's a super job Sid

Sid good job. You have been elevated to Sensei by the Boso. I'm not one for patience either. When I start something I want to see it completed. It would kill me to work 15 minutes and not see a result. That's why I don't garden. The thought of planing a seed and having to wait does not compute. Dominick

This may work, Sid --

If Ray and Michael say it is correct.

This is the old hourglass rubber or some sort of plastic material knob, plus the correct crank nut that mimics a flying saucer with its dome shape.

Nut is NOS, handle is used -- but straight and very decent -- nice marbling in the grip -- black with slight green and yellow swirls.

Also have the old wood ones -- if Mike and Ray think that may be correct.

Let me know what works for your project -- N/C -- just need your address PM'd to make sure -- after you choose.

This is a pretty good used Seaford head sideplate -- and I believe yours looks better.

Best,

Fred
