Has the stone fever got into your blood yet after that first piece? And yes, the earmuffs are hearing protection...the frequency of Miss Scarlett's cries makes my ears crackle...probably the result of too many years with my head in the speaker bin at metal gigs during my wasted youth! Benz, I thought about a set, but I think it will make it too hard to sell the pieces - it's very easy to sell pendants to women, but hard to sell anything made for men. This doesn't apply to tikis, where the ratio is probably reversed. I do like making rings and this is the second men's one I've done in black jade. I also have some ideas for a tiki ring which may see fruition eventually.. Haikai, as I mentioned to GMAN, yep - the earmuffs are needed when changing the baby to block out the cries. Some "in-ear" music would be good though - I wouldn't mind getting an MP3 player and installing the earphones into my muffs. At the moment I just use a CD player in the workshop which I turn up super loud so I can hear it over the machine noise!
