<p>GEC is just now wrapping up production on these and they should begin shipping soon. So now I am not only waiting for our little beauty, the Geppetto Whittler, I am now also waiting for this #72 Trapper. Santa Claus will be making some frequent, early visits to my house!</p>
<p>I just took a deep breath. See what you can do about that ride, will ya!</p>
<p>Cheers, my friend -- always good to hear from you!</p> Ron, good to hear from you. …tag:iknifecollector.com,2012-10-17:3181080:Comment:7056772012-10-17T20:58:00.767ZStanley Mayhttps://iknifecollector.com/profile/StanleyMay
<p>Ron, good to hear from you. My Gerstner cabinet is about 26" tall and about 24" wide. It is not nearly massive enough to warrant wheels. I've never seen one on rollers before. Must be big. Perhaps your enormous collection is large enough to get one of these LOL.</p>
<p>Even though I designed the B2 main wheels and brakes, I am sure they would not even let me get close to the plane let alone get a ride. If I ever do get the opportunity to do so, I will let you know and we can both get a…</p>

<p>Even though I designed the B2 main wheels and brakes, I am sure they would not even let me get close to the plane let alone get a ride. If I ever do get the opportunity to do so, I will let you know and we can both get a ride. Don't hold your breath.</p>
<p>Purchase any new knives lately? I haven't due to lack of cash.</p>

<p>It sounds like you had an interesting and rewarding career, Stanley.</p>
<p>I would love to see a picture of your Gerstner cabinet. I know that many of the cabinets they make are on rollers. That would be really convenient if you needed to move it around the house or shop a lot. Does your cabinet have rollers?</p>
<p>And since you were the guy who designed the B2's wheels and brakes. Do you think you can get me a ride in one? I would be writin' songs about you if you could. Let me know. I'm…</p>

<p>And since you were the guy who designed the B2's wheels and brakes. Do you think you can get me a ride in one? I would be writin' songs about you if you could. Let me know. I'm available to go flying just about any day of the week that ends in the letter "Y."</p>

<p>Yes I really designed the B2 main wheels and brakes. Lots and lots of stress analysis. I did not work on the nose wheel however.</p>

<p>There was a question regarding my cabinent. The Gerstner cabinent I mentioned in the blog is the one I store the knives in my collection/not for sale. At my wifes store I have two glass display cabinents. They are each about 28"w x 24"h x 12"d. They are entirely made of glass except for the floor. They are held together almost like a "lead glass" material/scheme. Each cabinet has three glass shelves and lockable glass sliding doors in the back. The shelves can be at different heights…</p>

They are held together almost like a "lead glass" material/scheme. Each cabinet has three glass shelves and lockable glass sliding doors in the back. The shelves can be at different heights depending on where you put the brackets. With everthing made of glass, the customer can see all the knives pretty well. Sometime I will send some pictures along to show you what I mean.</p>
