Happy birthday to John.

Here's a picture of John and I from 2011. That little thing I'm holding is my engraved hammer head. I finished it just before going to John's house and never got good pictures of it. John's dog is a Minpin and its name is Ijiro.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN! I was honored to meet John in Reno two years ago. What a fine gentleman! I've always envied those engravers skilled enough to be invited to produce a hammer for his wonderfull collection. Someday I may reach those heights.
