<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you, Andrew, for the info about
plating. I've been wondering if there is an easy way to do small =
plating
jobs. It is such a pain to find a plater and then paying thru the =
nose for
a (minimum charge) job. I looked on Caswells web site and have =
already
ordered their plating book. </FONT></DIV>
