Re: What is Your Name?
My name is Chuck Richards. I've had a lifelong
interest in Edison cylinder phonographs. Mostly
I've focused on recording one's own cylinders.
Back in 1978, I started the research which eventually
led to being able to make brown wax Edison blanks.
In 2009, I finally got the cylinder mold up and running,
and started casting blanks.
In 2010, they were first offered for sale.
It took 32 years of work, on and off, before I was
confident enough in these blanks to offer them for
use by anyone other than myself.

Re: What is Your Name?
Well there's possibly little surprise here but my name is actually Stephen Miller. Yes, Stephen with a ph and not a v. Nearly everyone I've ever known and certainly friends have abbreviated my name to 'Steve' with my blessing and that's perfectly fine with me; no formalities here! Only my parents ever call me Stephen anyway!

Re: What is Your Name?
Sounds familiar. When I was a kid and my parents called me by my formal name, I knew I was in big trouble.Steve wrote:Well there's possibly little surprise here but my name is actually Stephen Miller.
