      @@markmccoy1512 🔴 What Is Islam?
      🔴 Islam is not just another religion.
      🔵 It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham.
      🔴 Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God.
      🔵 It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone.
      🔴 It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine.
      🌍 The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as:
      📖 { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4) 📚
      🔴 Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus.
      🔵 Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him.

    This one had a bit of everything - cold, bluing, heat treating, nickel plating, knurling (never enough knurling..) with the pièce de résistance (yes, I know I'm mixing languages) being the recreation of the label. Outstanding and enjoyable...

Keep up the good work, will definitely keep following this channel. As long as you don't cut corners I will keep following. Some copy cats try to do what you and my mechanics do but they all cut corners. You two are the only one I follow in this genre! 💪🏻

    A lovely job on a unique item. I appreciate that you don't remove all the age from an item. Some small casting marks, minor pitting, a little wear all show the item wasn't made yesterday. Things that are old should be allowed to show some age, or at least that's theory I use on my personal appearance! Excellent work!

    if you use it couple of times numbers will come closer to the new.

    You should try tpesting preheating your metal parts before you apply the paints. A warm surface can improve paint adhesion and texture.
