  1. Funny, the graph at beginning almost reflects a perfect normal distribution.
  2. Welcome Dimitri and enjoy yourself there is a lot to learn here.
  3. ...and the folks who don't drink are encouraged to stay home, is that about it?
  4. Other than tradition what does chojo\i oil have going for it that current oils and synthetics don't?
  5. Morita-san, my thanks. I see the pattern and can extend it to rokundai, shichidai and hachidai. Thanks again. :D
  6. What is the kanji for indicating generations such as shodai, nidai, sandai, yondai, godai? Thx.
  7. You are quite right Andrew. Prudence and due diligence would seem to be in order, however brains, judgement and money are not synonymous as we see daily in the news.
  8. Perhaps our old friend Pawel Novak has adopted a pen name.
  9. Hey, Ted I thought you would recognize a variation on the Claude Raines quote from Casablanca sort of a play on your Blazing Saddlestag under your signature. That's one of the problems with a venue like this, no way to communicate tone. Brian, relax Ted is friend.
  10. I am shocked, absolutely shocked that scandalous self-promotion is going on here!
  11. Would that be a sea cucumber or the vegetable variety?
  12. Oh, I bet you do. Enjoy this one and I hope you learn something from it every time you pick it up.
  13. What are your plans for the sword in question? Restoration or did you just want to own a sword?
  14. So now what?
  15. Yet another lap around the sun! Well done!

    "Sweating" menuki

    My thoughts exactly although mine were less erudite.

    "Sweating" menuki

    ...and the question was?

    Menuki ?

    I will disagree with both Keith and Eric. This is just plain "dreck".

    "Sweating" menuki

    None at all. They are a very rich blue/black.
  20. At a recent meeting of our local sword club I was showing an older member a set of shakudo menuki purchased at the SF show. He remarked that they had been handled a lot and would benefit from a good sweating. When I questioned him about the term he explained it was a wipe down done with human sweat. Is that as questionable as it sounds or is it a legitimate cleaning technique?
  21. John, for a room that size you buy a satisfactory unit at your local drugstore. I am fortunate living near the coast where it is rare to have humidity greater than 40%-50%.
  22. As Eric suggests Fred Weissberg will steer you right.
  23. Is this about to become a "mine's bigger than yours" thing? :D
  24. ...lots and lots of books!
  25. Well done gentlemen very well done! :D
