<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3>I guess it's those of us who are new who keep the
old pros humble, or should anyway. ;) I</FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=3> know I'm new at this, but it's funny however, to my knowledge there
isn't a threshhold where by one crosses over thus implying, "you are not new
anymore!" When is a person no longer new? when their student lever breaks, their
new schaff lever breaks, when they've tuned a zillion piaons, when Jim Coleman
comes to your house dinner,. If a person who is learning is new, then I'm
thrilled to be a Newbie, just a positive e-mail to make us all think and
gain a perspective on our present situations.</FONT></DIV>

<P>
<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> </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>
