   Hi, my name is John Yingling, I have just discovered this web site, and I noticed your imprint is all over it. I too live in Washington, a little north in Kent. I've posted a few comments concerning Star Trek costumes. If you see my avatar, it's me in a STV jumpsuit I made from scratch several years back. Alas, time and weight has not been kind, it no longer fits, but I have photo memories. I made a ST:TNG unfiform a few years ago, and that still fits. I've done others, but the purpose of this email is to let you know there is a fellow Washingtonian that is an avid Star Trek costumer.
   
   I discovered this site when I researching ST:TOS costumes. I spent all day yesterday online, and got a lot of information. I read just about all the posts in the Original Series board. So, drop me line at jhyinglingjr@yahoo.com and tell me about yourself.

   Hi Keith:
   
   I completely understand being busy and new jobs. No sweat at all. I have been so very busy this last year at my new job too. Thursday I leave for three weeks for a trip to Wuxi China to teach a class in Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (Super Advanced Blueprint Reading). I understand busy.
   
   Sounds like we have much in common. I also do stereo photography. I have a rig of two Sony A100 DSLR's on a bracket I made. I have all the junk to build a wet photo lab in my basement but am lacking the time to do it.
   
   Yesterday I finished the casting part of construction of a foundry furnace which will allow the making of small (20 pounds) aluminum and even iron castings here at my home. I still have to design and build the elevating mechanism. This will add great flexibility to my home workshop.
   
   Thanks for the phone number Keith. Mine is 425-512-1714. I will be much less busy this following year. Call any time. I will give you a call when I see a free day on the horizon and we just have to get together.

   I have 2 Nashika (4 lens) and a Kodiak Stereo. Sounds like you and I can have some fun in the future. As it also sounds like you will be coming back when I ship out so any time after Thanksgiving we can meet up :)

   Hi Keith, I would love to see your chair. Despite my constant complaining about engineers not being able to visualize, I am having a hard time getting a handle on the scale of the thing. I have seen it on Star Trek, but sometimes in person is the only way.
   
   It would be great to get together. What else do you do for hobbies? I build ultra large format and panoramic field cameras from my own designs. I do some amateur gunsmithing, bullet casting and am considering bullet swaging. We also like long road trips.
   
   Hope your day is going well.

   Berry,
   I am sorry for the long delay in replying. I have been working my butt of in training on a new job. In the last year being out of work I have not had time for any of my hobbies. Once I get back on my feet with this new job I can get back to work on fun. I hope to get back into 3D photography. And also finishing my chair and then moving on to other props like NOMAD.
   
   Though my chair is not completed, it is at the stage to see size and shape. Feel free to contact me anytime you want to see it. My phone is 253-380-7366.
   
   I will be going out of state for training on the 20th of this month and will be gone till Thanksgiving.
   
   Keith
