Hi Brian,
I noticed that  you're in Indiana.  Are you in the Ft. Wayne chapter?  I
wonder if we might have met when I first visited the guild chapter =
meeting
at the Culver Music School back in Nov. 04.  The reason I"m asking is, I
tried to contact Skip the president of our chapter. He's hard to reach.  =
I'd
like to join, but I want him to be aware that my application fee is =
coming.

Hi Alan,
=20
The membership of the PTG, and this list, have been very helpful with
answers to my questions that probably seem stupid.  I am very pleased =
that
you could use my little idea.  I also attached some Velcro to each flap
corner to help keep it closed.

The idea is brilliant and I am going to use it. I've been putting the =
tools
in handle-first, which risks the occasional stabbing.=20
=20
The numbers ARE the actual size in thousandths of an inch.=20
=20
For example, #48 is .048". Subtract ten from the number and divide by =
two to
match the center pin sizes.=20
=20
So a 48 gives you 48-10=3D38, 38/2=3D19. So the #48 tool is, in theory, =
the same
diameter as a #19 center pin.=20
=20
But if you are using it to ream (actually remove) some felt, start with =
a
smaller size, then burnish with the correct size (smooth part of tool =
only)
or a tapered burnisher to compact the felt and try the pin for fit.

Just sharing an idea that worked for me last night.
After getting a new set of flange burnishing tools, I found that it was =
kind
of tricky to re-insert them into the cloth case.  The long needles would
catch on the cloth.
I measured and then cut some plastic drinking straws and slid one into =
each
needle pouch.  The pouch =13downbearing=14 holds the straws in place and =
now the
tools slide right in with out the hassle of getting caught on the =
interior
material.
=20
Also, does any one know the actual diameters of these tools?  Right now =
all
I have are the numbers 48, 49, ect. that are printed on the handles.
