KJD,

As I mentioned in a reply PM, we sincerely apologize for the oversight! I called Henry tonight (won't see him until this weekend)... Explained the shortfall on our part... And he said simply to "tell KJD there's something extra coming with his set." I don't know what that is... But I DO KNOW that Henry means what he says.

Here's the updated reservation list:

ROCKY,

GLAD you asked!!!

A new thread will appear tomorrow night, and the first Special Edition set (for Dr. Stogiefresh) will be shown. We'll also give you a sense for how we'll contact those on the reservation list, payment options, etc.

The Special Edition project has been a REAL KICK for Henry! He's got about 120 oak handles pre-finished with 8 coats of varnish (sanding and curing between coats). He's waiting for me to give him confirmation on intials for the embossing/finishing process (which takes about three days).

A year ago, Henry was "Scrooge," straight out of The Christmas Story.

Today, he's just an old guy who enjoys doing good things for good people.

PERIOD.

[Okee]

I'd like one also. P.M. sent.

Thanks for the update. Hope all is good in your neck of the woods. Let Henry know that he saved one more cigar last night, a Fonseca Serie F that I recived as a gift. It had been sleeping in my humi for some time now and to toss it whould have broken my heart.

Mark one up for the good guy! HENRY

AMOSZZ... THANKS for the post! I'll print, show it to Henry on Friday, and I KNOW it'll bring a smile to his craggy old face! Again, I can't begin to tell you how profoundly these small "success stories" affect Henry!!!

KJD... Consider it done! An updated reservation list will appear on a NEW THREAD tonight, dedicated EXCLUSIVELY to the Special Edition sets. Photos will be available there. It will also detail our follow-up process on existing reservations, along with alternative means of payment.

A SEPERATE new thread will be dedicated to Henry's Classic sets. That will appear on Sunday, and photos of all four handle variaeties will be shown (Maple, Walnut, Cherry, Ebony).

GUYS,

THANKS to you ALL for orders!

Henry is stone-cold in-process on the embossing/highlighting... And you all have made one "old man's dream-come-true."

"Function" of Henry's tool sets can certainly be replicated, The caraftsmanship can't.

PERIOD.
