    I have to second this. About four years ago, having recently settled
    in San Diego, I went to Jay with literally a couple of shopping bags
    of my own woven wire pieces sans finishing solutions ( ie; custom
    end caps and findings). I tease him by telling him I literally
    brought him bags of problems.......... looking for solutions. 

    Over the past few years, we've worked steadily on cast solutions for
    my pieces. He's also designed and carved tools to speed the
    direction of my own work and generously applied his magic,
    creativity and wondrous mechanical foresight. 

    I know he's searched high and low (even China) to put together the
    assortment of tools on his new website at www.whaleystudios.com. I'm
    sorry if that's a shameless pitch but he came to demo wax carving at
    one of my workshops last weekend and we were both thrilled to see
    the student's reaction to the new tools. He's also prototyping
    additional tools, very cool. 

    In any event, I'd also like to give something back to this guy who's
    always willing to not only explore with me but build a tool that
    will help me on the journey.
