Don't send me a pm asking how i beat metal detection, before you ever tryed it once.
I feel this is on me. My appologies, Ed. I didn't have any intension to upset you. Btw, I have responded to your pm.
Find a mentor, someone you can travel to shows with and learn from. Pay for their tickets, or beer or food or gas.
You will learn more about how things are done, than you can reading all these pages.
It's unfortunately not that easy. It's easier to find an elephant climbing a tree than serious tapers here in Sweden. We are only a few and most of us live very far from each other. I understand things are a bit different in the US where taping seems to be quite a popular hobby. I wish things were the same here but unfortunately it's not.
Most people at taperssection.com are really helpful and I somewhat think that the idea with this forum is to share our experience with fellow tapers. For me, living in the twilight zone, you guys here are more important than you think.
Anyway, this thread is not about me. Just felt the need to repond to your post. Thanks.
