Sources for Cloth and Leather
By Darrell Clarke
G'day all, Although you haven't heard much from me lately, I've been here, skulking around, gathering information for my Duo-Art rebuild job coming up.
I am particularly noting comments on, and sources of, pneumatic cloth and leather. I was most surprised to read about good quality cloth from Australia, because a few years ago I had given up on the local product which I had found very porous, and I ended up using imported material from a local supplier (I can't recall whether it was from Germany or U.S. -- do any of our European members have good local sources?) I must find out where this *good* Australian cloth came from.
As for MMD editorial policy, I personally have no problem with the way it has been done and always enjoy the pithy (not always taking the *pith* out of our correspondents!) and helpful remarks, but I can appreciate some concerns where an editorial comment might be seen as taking sides on the rare occasions where there has been a disagreement between correspondents. I haven't recalled this happening.
Keep up the excellent work!
What is the practical upper limit to our membership, if any? 1000? 10,000?
We must be heading rapidly to the point where something will break, probably the editors! (I must stop using those exclamations!!) When the time to process (and read) the letters reaches 24 hours we will have a problem.
Cheers,
Darrell Clarke
