Forgot how to dial the combination on that old safe? Think you got the right numbers but the handle is stuck? What safe should you buy? Ask your safe questions here!

Well since you only said Squelchtone was not to give spoiler alerts, guess that means I can!

In this book, Dave McOmie opens some safes and vaults.

Will tell you more when I get my copy. :mrgreen:

Will wait for some spoilers and opinions before buying the book. I have a little trust issue with a book sold after ones death in his name.
