Sure would be handy if one of you techno wizards would come up with a calculator that will give the size of an insert(or pumped star) if you enter the number of inserts that you want in a particular sized shell. Or even the other way around.

Just wanted to take a minute to thank Richard, Adam and all the others that make the forum possible. A whole year already eh fellas ? Practically runs itself.

First rate!

I never thought I would ever be asking this question.....anybody collect firecracker labels on the forum? Don't really have anything to speak of myself but I think I've been bitten by the bug. Would be willing to trade some US labels for some UK labels.

Has anyone had any luck using misc. materials to make pumps. I am not in need myself but thought that others might find it helpful. A visit to the hardware store yielded nothing with any potential. The piston is not that big of a deal. The cylinder presents a problem.
