  • 1.  Desperately Seeking… a Set of WN&G Perimeter Bolts

    The N.H. Chapter was ready to install a set of these in our Chapter Project ( a 100+ y-o Steinert 6'10.5"). R.P.T. Will Truitt ordered a set a couple of weeks ago, for a work day this weekend. Now, after checking with WN&G, it's not even clear they'd be there for our regular 2d-Monday meeting day.

    Does anyone have an extra set, on the shelf for some unknown next use, that they could spare? We'd have our set, back-ordered, drop-shipped to you when it's available, sent to you as the replacement.

    You'd make a couple of chapter members very happy.

    Last month, Peter Grey brushes on the epoxy coat while Will enjoys the  coveted ("Hey, you…) Mr. Spot. appointment.

    Aw Bill, there you go again with the puffery.  The liddle bugger is only 5' 10", you were getting them all excited.  That's me on the right, looking important, barely able to stand up under the weight of my thoughts, and micro-sleeping at the same time.  

    Buddy, can a spare a bolt?

    Will totally went: The liddle bugger is only 5' 10"

    Hey, my ruler is longer than yours. Not by much, but still, size matters.

    But the NH Chapter is quite serious about trying to score a set of perimeter bolts, if someone has an extra one.

    I have 10 or 11 bolts, not WNG, I believe made for/by Jim Coleman Sr. that I got from Newton Hunt. Same style as WNG, though I won’t be able to find out until Monday.

    In case no one else pipes up.

    Thanks, Joe.  But I think we are going to wait on the WNG bolts.  I appreciate the thought.
