I better understand your frustration with the apprentice situation as well. Not being able to pass on those skills is a real shame.
Jup! I knew he did more than just play em, but also had no idea that he did such gorgeous intricate work!

The key word being "did" .. what I can do now is a far cry from what I could do back when .. oh, for a month of the "Glory Days" .. what I would give ..

Generally, learning and performing is inversely proportional to age, regardless of memory...

Well what you did for that woman in chicago is still so stunning!! So you aint lost it hun. But yeah the one on the brochure is just beyond words gorgeous. Wish I could send my son to ya to be an apprentice. He'd have probably gone bonkers to learn that before he met his wife.

Mornin Iffy!!

Appreciate that, Johnny .. that figured maple in enough size that can be book matched and has that depth when finished is not as easy or economical as it used to be .. I was lucky many years ago to be able to stash a good load of various exotic woods .. just keep in on the down low, since I don't want to end up in the Gibson scenario ..

Lots to catch up on in just 4 hours... You guys have bee BUSY.
i was looking at my pool yesterday and thought I might have to put some more water in it today... But I couldn't go for my evening walk due to the rain. Yeah... The rain that has my pool overflowing.
Now I'm thinking I might have to empty it if it rains some more.

Naw, he's just a friend, not a FRIEND!! LOL I probably wouldn't know what to do with a FRIEND anymore. :pervy:
Do the same thing I do with them.

for pg and vg, many recommend essential depot, and it's where I got mine. 60.00 for a gallon of each with free shipping. I got mine on sale for 50.00 for the two gallons

I have some from essential depot too, but gotta use up the MFS stuff before I can try it.

There's another place that seemed to have good reviews for PG and VG. Glycerin | Bulk Apothecary Propylene Glycol | Bulk Apothecary

With shipping and coupon code savings10, 1 gal of each was a total of $41.16 for me.

I forgot to mention the necessity of using really good water. Mine comes unfiltered and untreated out of my tap, from my narrow-bore well drilled deep into a rock-enclosed aquifer that pretty much by luck yields great-tasting water that is low in both general hardness and calcium hardness. The well is over 200 feet deep; might be over 300 feet deep, I don't remember, would have to check the plate on the well head where the exact depth is engraved.

In the USA do you ever get the houses where peoples bore water causes everything it touches to go brown ?

1: The plurals of fly and sky are flies and skies. 2: Normally, questions are succeeded by question marks. (These are helpful hints for anyone, but ESPECIALLY useful for those contemplating publication of their literary efforts).

3. My proofreading and correction services are available at lower cost than charged by those who know less than I.

Im somewhat lazy in the grammar of internet talk.
Though all this imho and fyi and back in the early days lol and other internet short cuts that none of us learned in school has been accepted.

Why would there be a plural to sky anyway? The sky is only one piece, and it just happens to be everywhere.

I'm with you Ken and who says NC is not in the south? It is in my book.

According to the Census Bureau (Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware, Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas.

I have no idea how they included some of these, but that is supposed to be the correct list.

What are some good sources for flavors if you start mixing your own? I was looking around at PG and VG and Nic in larger quantities and could really see some massive savings. The B&Ms around here are WAAAAY overpriced and ordering online is both expensive and you don't know what you're getting, unless you've already tried it. What do you need besides PG,VG, NIC and flavors? The whole process appeals to the medication administrator Nurse in me. I loved my five chemistry classes, and med admin was the most fav part of my job.

Can go here for flavours
Perfumers Apprentice - The Flavor Apprentice - World of Flavors

sign up -- and you can buy the bulk sizes.
