lets just keep it simple, most wives have their own "hobbies" IE ,shopping ,Gardening,ect. I figure if I don't give her any grief in what she enjoys,why would she give it to me, lets face it as soon as most of us get into it " the zone" our health improves, less stree, our mode changes, and we are a much better person to deal with, as long as we can also do what we enjoy,,everyone needs a "vent" and if I did not have this "vent" I think I would be a much harder person to live with, so it comes down to the same thing that all marriages come down to give and take, oneway streets are always the begining of the end,,,, Almost forgot: sand blasting, small parts, try a head stone company, they use sand blasting to write on the stones and will usually do small parts for you if you asked them too.
