I was snooping on Craigslist this morning and found that the dop pot and sticks for $10 was still on there. So, since I had to go to the cities to see the surgeon, I figured that I would give them a call. Turns out that she had the stuff and was willing to put it out in the driveway and trust me to leave the ten under the cushion of the chair it was sitting on. I go to pick it up in Lake Elmo. The entire area she lived in was beautiful forest with lots of houses that did not spoil the wildness of the entire area. I got it home and realized that there was more to it than I had noticed. For $10 I got 74 dop sticks, 1 dop pot full of clean wax, a package of dop wax, a name brand Leatherman tool, some empty belt buckles, and a boat load of stencils. I think I did well. 00j0j_24hdyvt1Xmd_0t20CI_1200x900 by mrk525, on Flickr

What if the Leatherman, the buckles, and the stencils were for the "next guy"?? LOL

It looks like someone did some serious cabbing before passing those items on to you. I think they are in the hands of the right person.

Wow, that's a great deal. I know a lot of folks don't like the wax. I've tried several different dop methods. I finally got a pot just like yours. To me, none of the other methods even come close. I've never had a cab come loose except when I put them in the freezer. If I leave them in there for a long time a lot of them fall off on their own.

Great deal. I have one of those pots. But still haven’t used it. I keep using it as a coffee cup warmer. 🤣🤓 And I keep telling myself I need to try it someday. I don’t know, I guess by the time I get to dopping I just want to get to shaping and the super glue seems the fastest way to get going.

Lol! I also saw that on craigslist but didn't have a reason to make the drive. Glad you were able to pick it up!
