The 2008 Merritt show is now just a memory, but the work started long ago. The orders for tables came in fast and furious. Fortunately, I had a good supply of raw materials, and my able bodied assistant Murphy helped me to stress test each table as it rolled off the assembly line. Living in the country does make certain materials more readily available, and the hay bales certainly suited the ambiance of the Insulator Ranch. They're also great to sit on.

We had better than 50 Insulator Collectors attend this years show, and that number included some new collectors and some new faces. We were happy to see both in Merritt.
