Nice cutting

Happy Birthday Ranger

Enjoyed as always

I was interested to find out that Tolkien never said hobbits have larger than average feet, I guess I was so sure of the stereotype that I must have read it in myself every time I've read the books

As to whether it would be a good fit for dwarvish impression, I think it's fine, especially following Nemo's theory about craftsmanship.

Happy Birthday
