Hi Joe, after cleaning the pins with my super speedy key pin cleaner.<G> GAAA (a new thangee)." Laura said: "Do tell. This is a tool that I am interested in." Well, then, ya need to convince the powers that be to allow me to give the class. 'Twas I, not Laura, who inquired about your key pin cleaning tool. I intend to convince the powers that be to both invite you to teach your class about this device, and to treat our instructors with the respect and compensation they so rightfully deserve, that is, after I have solved world hunger and brought a meaningful peace to our planet (so it may not be until after lunch ;-). In the mean time, is it, "No class, no tool talk"?

In that class I'd demonstrate the way I MADE it and how it is used, (quite efficient, I might add. Clean and polish the entire set in less than 1/2 hour!) And then there is the special tool that I designed for straightening the confounded oval front rail pins, so that they are exactly straight, front to back.<G> That tool does it's trick in less than 15 minutes and does not damage the key pin! Go figger.<G> Oh, and while your at it, try and convince the powers that be, that they need to compensate Instructors a helluva lot better than they currently are! Just my take on it.<G> Joe P.S. I also have a "Magic Line" Tool that will be in production soon. (hopefully, I'll be able to get the Machinist off of his lazy duff.<G> Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
