---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment List, I'd like to say thanks to Joe Garrett for his advice a while back on this list about knuckle bolstering using a darning needle and thread. Knuckles in a Knabe (Nuckles in a Nabe?) that I was working on had plenty of material left, and the buckskin was still fine, but they were fairly misshapen; the jack was slapping pretty hard when it came back to rest. Took the needle, and ran it through each one a couple of times, and voila, round knuckles. Most of the action noise disappeared! During the procedure, not being an expert couturier, I darned my darn finger more than I'd care to admit, and once with the eye end of the needle. Despite a few extra minutes for band-aid application to my right forefinger, it was quite a timesaver over a new set of knuckles! Thanks again, Joe, Dave Stahl ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
