For those who don't know ... yet...

Dick's motto is: "Why buy any other material if stainless is available?" and the corrollary... 'If you can't buy it in SS, then make it yourself', and the 2nd corrollary.. 'Leave no stainless unpolished'...

Ps. if we are assembling something, and the fasteners aren't polished, then we 'halt assembly' while Dick polishes the parts... and woe to me if I install the shiny polished side of a washer 'down'...

PPS. I'm only slightly kidding him here... VERy slightly...
