RAF,
Right, a little more than I cared to (try to) handle.
An attraction to this work may have come from a previous life of mine, such as
when I helped make the Liberty Bell, in England: "Pass, & Stow".
But I searched myself and found that, yes, I COULD let bygones be bygones, by
golly.
I've never even done lost-wax, in this life.
But I once lost a pair of wax lips my brother bought from the candy store, and
he stuck a big hat-pin *through* my finger when we were playing the board-game
"Star Reporter", and pinned me right to the board like a grass-hopper for
dissection, I think not by accident!
Hmm-m, I've got to "remind" him about that. Glad we talked, RAF! ;-)
Time for me to demand MY pound of flesh.
