Round engine, woman.

“The splendid services rendered by the WAVES in naval activities ashore, and their uncomplaining spirit of sacrifice and devotion to duty at all times, are examples of the sincerity and character of the Women’s Reserve which a grateful Navy will not forget.”

Me too. Last fall, he was getting bored one saturday, so we made a set. He liked them, and took them to school for show and tell.

His teacher sent a note home asking if I would make 20 to 40 more sets of them. Altoghter, we've now made at least 40 sets. I hope that's it. Storing all those cans gets to be a challenge.
