Hi Mike, yes stainless is an expensive product and the beauty of those who
manufacture it into shapes is the fumes from the tac welding is cumulative in the lungs and harmful. So it's not cheap to work with for safety reasons!
It looks like I will not be able to make the Toshio Sakai Seminar this year and i'm really disappointed. I'm sure Sharon is in, and i know Dan wants to pending no gliitches at work. Our mutual koi kichii's Judy and Greg will interrupt their Mexico adventure to be on hand. Be sure and meet them please. Judy has just selected one of Toshio's better GR Showa's to grow on
and it's very impressive. They're from the state that boasts about their Potatoes (idaho)
