<DIV><FONT size=3>I've got one of those nice aluminum tool cases =
that you can

palette
tended to come loose or the tools in it would fall out sometimes. So I =

a

cover for

thick. It
beautifully keeps tools in the case, provides a little tailbone relief =
on hard
benches, and insulates the varnish from the ravages of my toasty
buns.</FONT></DIV>
