Sure! I hate to admit it, but most of the guys I know are either just setters who fix antique pieces (which is a skill unto itself), but these guys do not make things from scratch like newer rings, generally, or those mastercraftsmen who make LM look like a Walmart Special! I will ask around and see if there are any recommended setters amoung people I know. There is one guy I use for micro-pave, both custom and pre-fab. It's all hand-made, so maybe we can try him and see if you like his work?Date: 7/16/2007 10:23:09 AM

Nicrez, would you be a darling and check out another setter with me before I pony up for LM?

This week will be fairly light I hope, then next week will be insane, so let me know when!
Great! Next Thursday?Date: 7/16/2007 11:40:50 AM

I would love to join in. What is the date that you were hoping for????
Thursday for a setter meeting is OK. Are we thinking this Thursday for the NYC GTG or just a quick 47th Street romp?Date: 7/16/2007 11:48:22 AM

Harriet, you know 47th closes at 5pm, right? We may want to do that setter search at least at 4pm or sooner...
The NYC GTG can just be something non-industry related, like dinner, or drinks or something? Maybe a brunch? Again, based on times people can meet, the NYC GTG can be a weekday this week (next will likely be very busy for me but I''ll see what I can squeeze in)...
Sure. I''ll keep you posted because it all depends on how my work''s going.Date: 7/16/2007 4:38:06 PM

Harriet, this week is fine for a romp. Want to say at 4pm or so? It should give us some time. Let me know what day. Plus I suggest meeting somewhere where there are fewer people, like at the WaMu on the corner across the street. Specific with fewer people or I will never find you!
Wait, you''re the one with great hair and fabulous bling...
no problem. Let''s see how Wednesday goes. I will return, ya know.Date: 7/17/2007 9:50:16 AM

Rats. I have to head out of NYC today at 2, and may not make it back in time? I had something tomorrow, BUT if you can do tomorrow, I''ll move it.
ACK! I know we are cutting it down to the wire before you travel...
Ooh, whatcha picking up? Is this fella insured?Date: 7/17/2007 10:17:56 AM

Oooh let''s hope for Wednesday! I have used this setter on micro pave twice. First time was great, but I have to pick up the second piece today. Let''s see if he''s any good. Also, he''s not in a booth but a suite, so I would have to call him to let him kow we are coming. I''ll see if I can talk to him today briefly...
Of course you are coming back...Hopefully with ring insurance!
