<DIV>Jason,</DIV>
<DIV>The "Cantor" was an intentional error.<G> hehe my usual, as Paul Bailey puts it, acerbic wit. <G></DIV>
<DIV>Hmmm?! I don't think I've met a grand that needed any CA glue, that very instance. If it needs it, I schedule a time to do it. (Outside of my Regular Tuning Times.<G> Besides, I have found it to be better, if I use the APPROPRIATE GLUE, for repairs.....not CA. In the case of false beats, if it bothers the client, then I schedule to do the CA thingee later. If it's loose tuning pins, (on just a few), I can either shim it or hop down to nearest hobby or Hardware store and get a small amount to do that single job.</DIV>
<DIV>I do not carry Epoxy with me either. All that stuff makes a hellluva mess and I don't want it in my nice little German Roller Skate...Thank you very much!<G></DIV>
<DIV>As for the Picnic Box/Basket: I couldn't think of what else to call it. Back in them days it was fashionable to have Box with all of the appropriate Utensils/Flat Ware/ Dishes, Cups/Glasses, etc. That's what that thingee was, before I resurrected it from my Mom's junk pile, that she just had to GIVE to me, 'cause it was a family hairloom type of thing.<G></DIV>
<DIV>As for carrying that stuff in my "tool kit"....NEVER!!!!! I don't want any of that crap near my expensive, beautiful/handcrafted/georgous TOOLS!!!! YUCK! SHEESH! GADZOOKS! FORSOOTH! ETC.!!!<g></DIV>
<DIV>Best Regards,</DIV>

<DIV>Jason the Cantor said: "<FONT size=+0>The discussion about where to keep spare hammers etc. prompted Joe</FONT>
<DIV><FONT size=+0>Garrett to recommend (for the umptieth time): "I strongly urge you to</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=+0>"compartmentize". i.e. a woodworking kit, a stringing kit, a repinning</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=+0>kit, a regulation kit, etc."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=+0></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=+0>What about the liquids?"</FONT></DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>Jason,</DIV>
<DIV>As for the first part: I reiterated because there are a continual stream of "Newbies" and many had not been privy to my ascerbic wit and horse....sense.<G> If'n you are tired of my constant barrage of tool tips, etc., come to a regional and tell me face ta face!!! So there!<G></DIV>
<DIV>Now to the second, (actually a valid question that deserves an answer! Go figger!<G>)</DIV>
<DIV>Several have told you about the small coolers, etc. I'd like to add to it: For my voicing kit which includes Alcohol, Acetone, Lacquer, Sanding Sealer, dissolved Key top material and all the necessary tools for voicing, I have an aluminum case, about 12"x18"x4", that used to be a 40's/50's picnic Basket. I only carry it in the car when I have a major Voicing job to do, (which I schedule). The rest of the time it stays in my piano/music/junk room that is cool/dry. The same goes for many other type kits that are only needed for MAJOR kinds of jobs. As for glues, I carry a very small amounts with me, on a regular basis. I never carry CA glue with me! (Unless I find that there's a p.block to douse.) That stuff stays in my 2nd/drinks refrigorator where it lasts longer and has a propensity to leak, no matter!</DIV>
<DIV>So there ya go. Enjoy. </DIV>
<DIV>AND...Jason......lighten up on this olde dude. I might get a complex.<G>.....Nah!<G></DIV>
