Ed, you are right, the IQ part has no bearing on the use of unusual materials for the making of scales, brushes or hones, it was basically to let you know that my brain isn't wired like those of normal people and that I come up with stuff that is completely off the wall. Over the years I have been tested with just about all the different tests and even tho the scoring is different they all place one within a generic ranking system.
Jimmy, thanks. I will have to give him a shout out and see what he thinks.
