woot, keep up the photo stoke

thanks for the interest, everyone.

sale pending. i'll work down the list if the deal falls through.

Just sorta pondering the options for ass cape fashion. Beaver tail print is too silly, flag print maybe a bit disrespectful... DIY duct tape ass cape? Ooh, gorilla tape.

It sounds about right re. security but I haven't signed up yet. Still not sure whether I need it.

Well...

I had occasionally enjoyed seeing pictures from cool places, but I hadn't posted in years and was already sick of folks (and friends) trying to sell me shit.

regardless, merry Solstice.

Ha, congrats Gary

I'd like to try the Norrona. PM coming

Of course.

Just did edges. Flatness was good. Side bevel was good, solid 1 deg. Increased base bevel angle out from contact points and detuned inboard by 10cm or so and smoothed w diamond.
