Boxcar12 Valued Member United States 155 Posts	Posted 12/20/2018 4:41 pm Thank you. Did it have to be that way before it went in the machine because the T is there? Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5786 Posts	Posted 12/23/2018 8:32 pm Nice lamination. But it fell out after the strike. There would not have been metal available to fill the T if it fell out before the strike. There are other areas of lamination visible as well in the OP's last image. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
