[Clayart] Phil p

Phil p just sent a message recently assuring me my tools were coming.

I don’t know if you can see his message but here’s a copy:
“Hi Roxanne!

Yes, just bear with me please!

I had 9 other people send in bunches of old Tools for me to repair/re-make,
etc, as well as me trying to stay on Working while having the famed West
Nile Virus, which has slowed me down somewhat.

I think your ‘send in’ of old Tools was like 8th in line of the 9 Send-in
bunches.

This while also having to make and ship Tool Orders as such....so...

Just bear with me please, I can not do all this at once...it takes time!

Thanks!

Best wishes!

Phil
Bison”

I’m grieving the loss of my tools and Phil! I’ve ordered repeatedly from
him and love the tools. This leaves me one. One of his tools.
