and blanks and guides and thread....
Stopped by there on Sunday after hitting the canal...
I like to go by and support Mike's because he is great to the site as well as MSBA,Tri-state, you name it. Figured I would buy a few plugs or something...
Left with a Lami 120 1m, guides, trigger seat, and 8 spools of thread not to mention some shared knowledge.

Used hard and put away dirty....
