After wasting 18 years of my life with a Fasnap... the Stimpson is a breath of fresh air. And it is aluminum. Everyone loves it. I suspect that Hiker is built in a similar fashion- with some mechanical advantage. No wonder we broke 2-3 FSnap cast iron frames- you have to go all gonzo on it to...

Interesting Alan.

I am liking this- we have a couple of normal size peeps mixed in with the Neanderthals. The grommets we buy have the 'teeth' on the washer which I think works well... anyone use them with a Stimson? Thanks Gene

The stimpson looks a lot like the Hiker- I thought it was just a different model of the Hiker. And RC... ya we have neanderthals and this one has 15 years on it.

We broke another frame (cast iron) on our Fasnap. I keep looking at the Hikers but have never seen one in the flesh. I used to buy just the frames for the Fasnap but I don't recall where. Any advise? Thanks Gene

Thank you all- also the people who took the time to PM me and make drawings. I just wanted to confirm that I was on the correct path. I set up a grid system using the 8x16 inch blocks to locate the corners and pivot points for the curves which works well for most of the letters. Some letters...

Costco by the case.

Search Amazon for glass frit. It is the same as smalt. Gene

Not sure I agree- work a week at $10-12 and I can tell you how much you will be worth to me. Now days... talk is cheap, working hard is harder- I find. Gene

So I have been using old monitors that were not widescreen because I like the height for VWorks. They all died and I got to thinking....

FYI- I get a WOT warning on that link?

No wholesale.

I always thought that multitasking had something to do with work? :covereyes:

Can you load CMY x2 and K and light K? That would be fast and still hit the grays? Gene

There is mid level equipment as well. I have had two Royal Sovereigns and no problems... we use them a lot. Gene

Sorry... brain ****. From an old ****.
