Everyone here....EVERYONE should be thankful for Ron, as the hobby essentially orbits around his masterful spring making skills. And he's a super nice guy as well.

I received some parts from him Monday, but his phone is out.MicaMonster wrote:Sometimes his phone system goes on the blink. WHAT WORKS: Write him a nice letter, include your parts order, and a hearty THANK YOU. I have been in a "Sitko bind" in the past, and this was my solution, and it worked. I've found that a strong lined calligraphy gets quicker shipments, as well as illuminated letters. Sometimes starting the letter with, "Dear Sitko, I hope this letter finds you well......."![]()

Such dishonesty would be most unwise in a hobby as small as ours.

BobI hope no one tries to take advantage of Ron and not pay him after the parts come though the mail.
Yes, but does he have a preferred hand? Would Uncial do best, or Blackletter, or Chancery, or Roundhand?MicaMonster wrote: I've found that a strong lined calligraphy gets quicker shipments, as well as illuminated letters.![]()
