>>> <Wippen@aol.com> 03/02/95 08:06am >>> One way that I use to store and transport bass strings,either replacement sets or sets of universals is to use a length of plastic pipe(PVC) of the appropriate length with a cap glued on one end and a removeable (screw-on) cap on the other. Keeps everything clean and dry and untangled, it's easy to carry in my vehicle and it stands up on its end out of the way in the shop. I keep several,and when a shipment of strings arrives from the stringmaker I immediately take them out of the box and slip them into a pipe. The pipes are easily labeled etc.My shop at the University is tiny,with practically no equipment. I supply *every* tool that I use,large or small. I bring it in every day and take it home every day. Happily, I have a 1,440 sq.ft. shop at my home which is not to far from the University. I generally, will take most projects-action rebuilds,key bushings jobs, etc. home and do them there. My name is Paul Dempsey and I have been at Marshall University in Huntington,WV for over 25 years. I have been very out of touch with the PTG for a long time,although I was a Craftsman member in 1968. I plan to rectify that situation and re-join in the very near future. I am very excited and pleased about this computer E-Mail forum and look forward to much interesting contact and dialog with all of you. I'm glad to be back!!! Paul E. Dempsey,Jr. Marshall University Huntington,WV. 304-696-5418 wippen@aol.com. Paul, Glad to have you! And thanks for the tip. vince mrykalo rpt
