TFPtrader Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Doesn't look to dead to me. Does this qualify the shop as being an equal opportunity establishment? And I'm curious to see the peg layout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopcat Posted April 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 i think Freud might want to have a few words with you on this - both the doctor and the tool company! Indeed I made contact with Dr Freud and he said that there was some confusion in my mind. He said that some people saw venus as an owl which for the poor thing was terribly upsetting and he suggested that i did something to avoid such future misunderstandings. Mr Freud the tool man was also a bit peeved with the Veritas hardware adorning Venus and suggested that replacing this with some custom pegs might, as it were, kill two birds with one stone. So out with the old metalwork and a quick spin on the lathe to make the new pegs. Ahhh.....that's my Venus di Roubo. no question. cc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
