Fred is sure one of very few folks who does this level of restoration.
I could safely put Steve Davis and Russ Webb in the same category.

I wish one of them would taught a several-days seminar on Introduction to woodworking and radio cabinet restoration. I would sure try to attend. I am not even a beginner, I simply do not restore wood.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

I got no skills to sharpen. I need "101" course to start.
