Default What was your "Everest" of 2012?
For me, I will remember 2012 as the year that I completed this little set. It was my "Everest" and made me put all other projects aside. It was considerably more challenging than I anticipated. As I was nearing completion, my wife showed some signs of relief, until she realized that I would only be starting some other set or sets. Then she broke out in a cold sweat......

There were so many members of this forum that helped me out with this project......far too many to name, but you know who you are, and I can't thank you all enough.

What was your "Everest" in 2012?

Beautiful set Barry! Every consider crossing them all to SGC? The black/red contrast would be amazing for an entire set. Nice Jackson, Cobb etc 30 grades. (I'm seeing red now)
