The Shepherd Neame carrier was a christmas gift, came with a nice tall pint glass etched with the logo and three bottles of beer. Comes in very handy for carrying tools when I desert the shed in this cold weather

At 11:09pm on January 14, 2013, Dave Lynas said…: Hey Jabes, i finally got a message through. Thought i was going crazy. I use Suntec too. They've worked out great on many items like tuners, electronics. I think i see how to get a message to you. It doesn't work when i try to respond to your message, only if I come direct to you to get through. I just had the same problem with Uncle John, now i know how to fix it....

At 10:12pm on January 12, 2013, Dave Lynas said…: Hey Jabes, yes waiting for parts. I wait for glue to set and clay to dry too. I'm always waiting on parts from China (reasonable prices). It must be hard to send on off part done. It's real nice already, so it will be fun to see someone else's take on it with the burn job. I've sure seen some nice artwork burned on CBN lately. Some real artists out there. Ain't it neat that we can get to know each other via this site and see so many great builds? Have a great new Year and may your parts all fit....

At 4:19pm on January 10, 2013, Dave Lynas said…: Hey Jabes, thanks for the friendship, sure for sure.....
