I have just received a bit of an honor(honour for my friends who like to add those u's). The owner of the Woodworker's Club in Norwalk, CT www.woodworkersclubnorwalk.com has invited me to meet with his importer of Shapton products. I know the man has received formal training in Japan for wood working and I know he is an American. Other than that, I know nothing. However, apparently the man has been told some pack of lies about me and he wants to meet me and he wants to see the box I designed to hold Shapton stones.

I will be having dinner with the guy a week from tomorrow, 6/18. I will be happy to ask any questions you kids have so, over the next week, please give it some thought and let's get a list together.

I read in another thread someone wrote, "There are no stupid question". Well, I disagree. There are many, very stupid questions like, "Did pirates really say Arrrgh Maytee"?. That is a stupid question and I won't ask Mr. Shapton anything even remotely like that.
