Hey Ian;

I Really hope your enjoying your day down under. It's about the same up here. Nice of Joe to post the picture of you looking for the pointy end of the pick. Keep at it.

The skills you have gained in a mere 50 years and work you have done have made an enourmous difference in the world of handcuff research, history and collecting. I know for a fact that even those collectors who may have disapproved of your re-creations have expressed their great respect for you (even if they do use the term 'wanker' under their breath, but hey.)

This forum and collectors everywhere owe you a great deal and wish you the happiest of B-Day's.

Enjoy!

Ian-Happy Birthady and thanks for all the handcuff and lock saving work you have done for all of us. You have helped keep the hobby alive through some rough times. Just think, only 15 more years and you will get a discount on your haircuts!!

My good friend Ian,
I wish you a very happy birthday. I've known Ian since before email existed, or close to that time. We used to write actual real letters back and forth. I still have them. Perhaps they'll be collectible someday. Anyway, Happy birthday to our friend and master craftsman
Ian. Best Wishs, John Bushey

PS--Happy birthday to Mark Lundblad as well, who had a birthday this past Tuesday.

Hello again,
I forgot to mention, in less than two weeks I will be in Australia, in Ian's new workshop, hopefully busy watching him work. Learning. He asked me tonight if I will need the electric blanket. I asked what is the temp this time of year. "About 60 degrees" Ian replied. I live in Duluth, MN, and don't even use an electric blanket in 20 degrees below zero. I will probably show up in shorts and a t-shirt. I'm so looking forward to seeing Ian and Lisa I've already started to pack. Sent one box out, and will try to sneak a few items through Sydney, which is not the best idea, but you have to do what you have to do.
John

I'm on my way to 50, but still younger than Ian, Freddy, Mark, and many others. As a matter of fact, I'd be feeling great about my age if it weren't for some kid named Joshua.

John,

I'm sure you and Ian will have a great time together again, manufacturing lots of cuffs all day long.
BTW; Did Ian tell you about the spider invasion? He told me he will try to get your room
free of spiders but some of them might hide under the bed.

Take care,

Hi , I have waited until the date read 15th July

Thanks you all for your birthday messages. I did ask Joe L not to put up anything as I dont like the fuss but its nice to know I am still remembered.
It has picked my spirits up and hopefully I will be able to restore my business in the next few months. John Bushey is visiting which will help and I wish my other best friend Joe Fox was coming (but he is older than me, shhhhhh)

The great thing about this site is that there is lots to share and now I can write happy birthday in different languages.

Thanks
Ian

Sorry Ian. I actually posted your birthday announcement before I read your message asking me not to do it. But I figured you would not be too unset if I left it up. This way everyone else would be able to share the excitement of the day.

I do consider John Bushey to be the really lucky one, he gets to come and play in you your shop.

So happy day after. I hope your birthday was a indeed a happy one.
