Just thought I'd post a pic of my new coice of cheap dopsticks. They work really well and if you're already a golfer, then they're REALLY cheap.  Ed |

John, this one is wood and I bought a pack of 30 for $1.99 or something like that. The concave top helps hold the stone real good.

Hey slim.
The usual method for removing the stone from the dop is to put it in the freezer for 15min, and the stone will pop right off. I usually take a razor blade and use it to seperate the stone, and then scrape the wax off the stone.
I know what you mean about not having any fingernails.

Slim. Not sure what your question is. We upload our pics to someplace like photobucket.com, then copy and paste the URL into our posts. If you're just not seeing the pics in the posts, then I'm not sure what to tell you.

Carriage bolts with the tops ground flat also work great. They come in many sizes both length and diameter and are very cheap. I use super glue and the bolts give more surface area. I soak in hot water to remove. I drilled my dowels for handles.
