Always fun to read the things you dig up, thanks!
Now I'm kicking myself that I bought the DMT when I could have just used the sidewalk for free ! :gaah:
The sidewalk outside our place has just been repaved with 20,000 DMTs. Handy. :p
Thanks Martin. I particularly like the first article's drawing - I have many "vintage" natural stones that had been used with oil and came in exactly the kind of wooden box depicted there.
James.
Reference the first article; I'm sure he would advise to re-oil the stone after a rinse with gasoline, as gas will leave it very dry after washing the stone in it.
If I could go back in time, I would thank him & leave him with a bottle of WD-40. :D
If I could go back in time with a bottle of wd-40, I'd pretend I invented it and cash in on the royalties.
James.
Hmm, the gasoline would leave some nice TEL on the hone, lead is always good for you!
Thanks for sharing Martin, I always wonder how you come across all this stuff.
Could be that easy. Why did I have done all the work to flatten and lapp my stones!!!Quote:
