DaveV - I have a set of his and they're terrific. I love them! I can't vouch for them enough!

Dave V Inner circle Las Vegas, NV 4824 Posts	Posted: Nov 8, 2006 12:24 am 0 It's not that I won't it's more like I can't. It's just that my supplier couldn't deliver quality raw materials anymore. I've thrown out more spools of bad lace than I can handle. It gets pretty expensive when I have to go through 3-4 rolls of the stuff to get enough to make a set. Colors were becoming inconsistent as well. I had to cancel a recent order when I couldn't scrape enough together to make even one set. I'd probably have better luck if I used wet spagetti. Hmmm... maybe I can use a meatball as a final load. No trees were killed in the making of this message, but a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.
Josh Riel Inner circle of hell 1995 Posts	Posted: Nov 8, 2006 12:53 am 0 That's actually pretty sad news Dave. I have been desirous of a 1¼ set. Let me know when you might be up and running again. Please Magic is doing improbable things with odd items that, under normal circumstances, would be unnessecary and quite often undesirable.

I might have solved that, however. www.theambitiouscard.com Hand Crafted Magic Trophy Husband, Father of the Year Candidate, Chippendale's Dancer applicant, Unofficial World Record Holder.
