I just HOPE Mr. Taylor and his crew will be kind enough to help this one man business get his hands on a couple of slabs (preferably empty) without going through the submission process? Also would like to point out the new design for my holders is an "A" shape that may be very attractive for those of you who favor the Anacs slab (of course its also favors my last name) but none the less it is an A! Now I may need to make something perfectly clear and that is I am NOT asking for anyone to give me anything!!! Just the opportunity to BUY a couple of SEALED slabs for use in the construction of my holders! JT are you listening? Well I guess I have given him his forum name as well? Hopefully I can get these very quickly the first of the year?
