alanhowe01: ruby lith and aberlith oh wow the way back machine
ErichCampbell: My employer still brags about his rubylith skills as well. 🙂 I’ve seen one piece of it, dusty, from the archives. 😉
alanhowe01: warmer in eastern michigan 18 degrees, wooohooo
alanhowe01: Erich ..i am not sure cutting ruby is considered a skill any more…more like a lost art.
ErichCampbell: I bet you could get a load of hits on YouTube with a video of someone hand-cutting ruby- I watch hand-letterers and sign painters all the time- I think you could get a ‘hipster’ screen print crowd. 😉
2 Regular Guys Talking Decoration: I just dont look good in tight pants though Erich.
alanhowe01: Erich yea i am sure you could and we have some hippsters in Pittsburgh that still come and want Ruby , we still stock it ..in one size.
alanhowe01: the amberlith has been discontinued by the manufacturer

alanhowe01: in florida , camoflauged among plastic pink flamingos
alanhowe01: hurray NBM !!!
alanhowe01: very weird i speak at ISS write for NBM …is there something wrong with that ?
GregKitson: Can’t talk about Rubylith with talking about the job description, when a printer advertised for a Stripper it had nothing to do with poles.
alanhowe01: greg hahaha thats awesome
alanhowe01: yea , it can not look Chinnsey, it has to look professional
