Thank you sir I guess you could call it a "repair" after all it is a gold dollar! I would have like to enter her in the "novice" class of the competition but missed opportunities and all plus I gotta hone her still.

Nicely done. Good job fairing the blade/shank transition, especially for your first time at bat.
