I'd love to see them!

I have met you actually. You're always hangin' with Kyle Kepley and you've made some of the passfire articles. I didn't know you were with MPAG or from Mi.. I just assumed you were from Fla. with Kyle. It's great that you've found your way over to this board finally. There isn't a lot of us speaking English on here, so I feel a bit more at home now. ;)

Yes, FH has quite a talent with his cylinder shell building. I wouldn't expect to compete with him either. I think RR could give him a run for his money in the smaller cylinders, and perhaps Kolin K in the large.. I don't know for sure, but I think KK is from Michigan. (awesome Maltese cylinders). Other than those guys, I can't think of anyone else to hang with FH with those telephone poles. Look in my pictures directory here on FPM and you'll find a bunch of pictures I took of FH dropping his cylinders.

I knew about your meeting coming up in early Oct. Very sadly it conflicts with the date of the Tri-State meeting where I will be. I was bummed bigtime to say the least, when I found that MPAG had a shoot the same day and very few (if any) members would be coming. I love seeing the builders of MPAG.. you guys have so many good ones. It'll be a shame to miss all of you guys.

One thing I'd love to have is the formula for RS's 16's at PGI.. I think they were called willow diadems.. They were stunning, and possibly the best crowns I've ever seen. If he will give me that formula, I would be extremely pleased!! I realize that he may want to keep it a secret (it's so good) but ask him for me at the next meet if you could. If it's somthing that he will pass on freely, I'd love to see the formula.

Thanks.
