>>You really are a very talented designer and carver *understatement* <<

Thank-You (& thank you to all the others who have said so as
well)

>> Got a question: how do you manage to get the rubber out of the hole in
the needle? Do you grind the top side of the needle off <<

The needles have a very long tip and don't need to go deep enough to get
rubber in the tip. They aren't used like typical carving tools, instead,
they are used like a very tiny knife.

>>Next step I think is a magnifier to pull down over my eyes.<<

A magnifier is the ONLY way to carve! I can't carve without mine now :-) (&
my eyesight is fine) It really does make a HUGE difference! You'll love it
and wonder how you ever carved without one.

>>I shall try to have some of the needles with me at the October 4th SLO
Stamping in the Meadow<<

Sure wish I could make it all the way out to California, but alas, no money.
:-( I wish you perfect weather, a grand turn out and all boxes found by the
seekers.
