It is not the cost of the bushing cloth that makes me conserve cloth.  It is
the bother of running out and having to order more...waiting til I need
enough items for an order and putting together the order and actually
ordering it.  I know it may not be all that much but being in the office is
not getting instruments finished.  I keep my apprentices very aware of waste
in leather, felt,rubber cloth and all of our supplies used in pianos, player
systems, pipe organs and reed organs.  Yes some of these items are
expensive, some are not.  The apprentice will not appreciate the limitation
of waste until he must make a living and pay for all his supplies himself.
I have been through times when I could not afford the supplies to finish a
project.  Until you have that sort of problem you can't understand the value
of the wasted products that go into the trash.

over the waste
  of the bushing cloth.
  I bet, if you figure out the percentage of the charge you make, that the
  material cost is miniscule.
  Ok, I will admit, it is not ecologically good to waste.
  I find the saving in time, makes the little bit of waste well worth it.

  John,
  The waste comes out of our or our customers pocket! Bushing cloth is
costly, IMO. As for saving time, I'll wager I can do a set faster then you
can with the Fandrich/Erbes method, than you can with a BushMaster!<G> And
have it just as neat and consistant! So there!Phtzzzz!<G>

  Best Regards,
