bliss bliss bliss :D

I am happy as a clam because my mail person brought me a shipment of custom made, wooden bridge pins that were superbly made by OLFer Louis Freilicher.

These are 3 degree, unslotted pins made from blanks that I sent to Louis. You may recall that Louis also provided us with an excellent toot about how he makes pins.

First the BRW pins:

I must be ignorant, but what are the three fat Blackwood pins for?

They are all beautiful, though.

Is that why your new shop is in the basement? Does the rest of the house above serve any purpose other than insulating? laughing6-hehe

Man those pins look really great. They are very consistent in diameter and length. And they are polished perfectly!

Thanks Louis and Hesh! Now, Hesh, you have no excuses to keep you from turning out more Heshtones!

Steve I tell folks that I bought a new basement that happened to have a stinkin house on top.... So yeah - it's insulation...... laughing6-hehe Mind if I borrow that one, with full attribution to you of course, from time to time?

The pins are beautiful and a very nice and price effective alternative to fossilized Mastiff poop or titanium........ beehive :D

Stinkin house on top ... what, no downstairs washroom ????

Right - no bathroom downstairs yet but I have been looking into that.

It sure would beat using that milk carton with Billy's picture on it........ :D

Well, the shuttle flight going up tomorrow will carry a new "recycler" of human waste for the International Space Station. It is part of an effort to reduce the amount of water that has to be lifted into orbit.

The astronauts describe it as a coffe machine...making today's coffee from yesterdays. gaah laughing6-hehe

Hesh, feel free to use the bit about your "insulation." [:Y:]

So, the rumors of a new Heshtone Pinless Stealth Bridge are false?
