This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0018_01C11E9B.3CEB43E0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hello Galoots, My name is Carter Altman. I live in Albuquerque, NM. I have been sliding down the slippery slope for all of 7 months now. Reading the list and visiting many of your web pages has been very helpful. How I became a Galoot acolyte: After several months of pondering how I could convince SWMBO that I need $500 - $1000 worth of spinning screaming metal I remembered an article by Ian Kirby in FWW and the old Jack plane I got from my father because I thought it looked kinda cool. After 7 months I have been to the flea market, got my first ebay star, learned about Scary Sharp, and now spend my time pondering how to convince SWMBO that I need $500 - $1000 worth of quiet soothing hand tools. I have completed two projects, an end table out of ash and a step stool out of cherry. I am now working on another end table of cherry(SWMBO did not like the ash…FS: hand made ash end table). With each new project I am trying to rely more and more on the hand tools I have and the hand tools I *must* have. I have been lurking for several months but feel that it is time that I step on up to the porch and shake everyone’s hands. Thanks again for sharing all of the great information. Carter Altman (Who admits that the real reason he is posting a Bio is that he would like a hat.) ------=_NextPart_000_0018_01C11E9B.3CEB43E0 |

I am sorry, Carter Altman. I also want a hat, but it would seem that you and I are the only two galoots in the world who want one. Everybody else is asking for t-shirts. T-shirts only last a year or two, but hats seem to last forever. Why can't we have hats? I WANT A HAT!!!!!! Jim Thompson |

I sent this to Dennis already: Just a thought, what about setting up with these guys ? They will let you design the artwork then print it on just about anything... and they handle all the money... we are using them for an automotive web site I frequent. http://www.cafepress.com/cp/info/index.aspx I know it wouldn't have the cachet of being a specific "edition" of shirt or other, but it might make life a WHOLE LOT easier... Also don't have to set it up to "make money"..

Sounds great for me, but I doubt you'd like their prices. Dennis - who is NOT in it for the "money", cause there isn't any ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ted Uiterwyk" |

Josh, You can get thin brass plates at just about any hobby shop. Ones that deal in model railroads and the like. Most of them cary both brass and aluminum shapes plates, etc from K&S manufacuring. If you need anything very thick though you had better go to Mcmaster & Carr. They carry the thicker stuff and let you order small pieces.
