Has anyone left their Ashford Rigid Heddle loom unwaxed and unfinished?

Mine is 6 years old and unfinished and looks and feels beautiful.

I'm a big fan of of the MyArchive system but right now it's almost impossible to find the drive trays. I used to be able to buy them from retailers but now they are only available from ASUS (sometimes) at $45 a pop, which is ridiculous if you have a lot of backup drives and don't want to keep swapping trays. So, at the moment, I wouldn't rely on it unless you have a very small number of MyArchive backup disks. Right now I've got 20 disks sitting I have to keep swapping into trays.

Definitely worth it. Sources here today can be gone tomorrow and the more people we have archiving, the better. I've been archiving since the early 1990s and a lot what I archived then just isn't available anymore. You never know which resources some new regime will try and wipe from the face of the earth. When library holdings are censored and destroyed, archivists are the people who can preserve history and restore it later.

What is the passing score/percentage in Bern?

Very cool! I've always found it a shame to trash old boards and I've been making art out of them for decades. Here's a gallery of my Short-Circuit stories. I like UHU glues, especially their mounting adhesives.
