      @@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...

    THANK YOU.
    For not being a putty putz.
    To many "Restorers" use putty to fill in the blemishes.
    Great work.

    The work that you put into this is extraordinary. I would have never tried to restore ball bearings no matter how loose their tolerance was. Very commendable, great job.
