Thanks,
Bruce

 ;Now that I see my message got threw, ask what you will,I've got much to share! Thanks again.......buba

Also there was a member... DaveV Thanks to you also :)buba

If I have not mistaken, Buba is a lawyer by profession, he probably charges by the number of words he writes....just kidding about the charges

BTW, I just received a set of standard and a set of mini Marble Brass Sherwood cups, not sold in the website yet, but they are beautiful. Will share with you all within the next few days.

Buba... I am glad that you can now post to us... we need another active member here. So you are a member of the Sherwood club, I too hope to get a set of engraved Sherwood Cups one day. Are they your only set, did you start out with another... I ask because I am Cupaholic.

Francis... I can’t wait to see photos of your new Sherwood set.

Bruce

Bruce,Thanks,I myself are some what of a cup nut! The first set I had consisted of dixie cups, with balls made from rolled up paper as a young man.Times have changed,the first real set I had were Phoenex cups.I really got a rush when I saw a gent by the name of Alex Elmsley perform the c&b and ended with a salt load, that started the fever. I have foxie 2.5,rnt monti cups,bought from Jake,Mendoza combo cups,riser midi trads,riser tiny trads, and finally,Sherwoods!!! I also have a big collection of chop cups,which are to much to mention,because I charge pre word......back at YOU! Francis..Just Kidding! Seems to be some great people here, and I am glad to be a part of it! Thanks for your time,buba

Buba... It sounds like you are a Cup nut; you have all the standard issues... LOL. I picked up a set of Riser MIDI TRADS in DEC; they are a great set of Cups, becoming a favorite. I always liked the Riser Mini Standards, but the shape of the MIDI TRADS is visually more attractive (a takeoff of a classic shape)... at least to me.

Just bill Francis and tell us about your Chop Cup collection; do you use the CC more than a 3 Cup set... for the record I do. My favorite CC at the moment is the RNT2 Workers Cup and I have been using a Don Alan CC more now that it has a patina. When I first started posting here, I was more of a polished Cup kinda guy... now I like my Cups brown for the most part.

If you can (no pressure...LOL); post some photos of some of your Cups.
Bruce

Bruce, Thanks,I'll have to have my Grandson help me with pic's, as I have no idea as to how to post pics.As far as to what I use the most, depends on what kiind of mood I'm in. I bought a chop cup at the Columbus Magi Fest years ago for $8.00 and the gent threw the balls in for free!It looks like a old ken brook with many dents' but one of my favorites!I have a Hansen chop cup,which comes in second!Don Alan was my inspiration to the chop cup!As for as the 3 cup routine, it's a combo of Mendoza, Vernnon,Schneider, Elmsley,Ammar ,and developed a routine with help from all the great's.......... with a twist nice to talk with real people..................buba

Buba... Yes we are real people here for the most part... LOL. I look forward to seeing your photos.

I have mentioned it several times in different posts; the routine I use the most with my CC is the “Multiplication Cup” routine from an old Mark Wilson CC book... get one if you can. As to a 3 Cup set, Vernon’s routine and the one from Mark Wilson is where I am at.

I use the Mendoza routine with my Combo sets... though I have not practiced it for a long while. I use the RNT2 MINI PF Cups more than the RNT2 Mendoza Cups that I have.  One day I hope that Donnie releases a set of PF Combo Cups... I so like Cups with many shoulder beads.

I also have a weird set of one off RNT2 Traditional Cups in which all Cups are chopped... with my skill level, not usable at all. They are shaped slightly different than the RNT2 Traditional Cups sold today, so I can’t work one into the set to make a set of Traditional Combo Cups.
