Hi Guy's Just to put the picture right. I did not join the forum to steal away work from people like mr. Dewey. That is not my thing. I like to learn alot from this forum and try to put in now and again things you may like useful. If I can help someone I will but I donot want any trouble with alan, he has the older rights. Greetings Jan

Hi, Jan, Yes please do, Really really please. I'm coming up to retirement age and there are a lot of damaged sets out there, far too many for me to restore, even if I had another lifetime to do it in. So many sets, so little time... ;-) P.S. you may call me Alan, Mr. Dewey seems a little formal. -- Edited by chessspy at 03/16/2009 1:25 AM PDT

I hope that he isn't to disappointed wen he here's from me that his priced set is not ivory but bone. My picasa webalbum is now "open" I just have to find out how to link it. Jan

"Het is mij niet gelukt" = "it has not worked for me".

Hi All, It will work if you log in to you own Picasa then replace your ID in the web address with: schroefdraadstreler Cheers Jim

Hi, Jan, I am very impressed with your work and also with the way you present it. I see I can learn a good deal from you. Perhaps we can email each other with hints and tips. highest regards Alan D, (from now to be called 'the second best restorer in Europe') The link is, http://picasaweb.google.com/schroefdraadstreler -- Edited by chessspy at 03/18/2009 2:05 AM PDT

Alan, Far to much honour! From what I have seen and read from you and on a scale from 1 - 10 You are a 10 and I consider myself as a 2, striving to get higher up. Thanks for the correct link some times I still fight with my computer and lose!!! Greetings, Jan
