I just gave the book a proofreading. I ended up re-writing much of it in the process. I think the moral of the story is don't write the first draft at an hour when you would normally be asleep. One good thing did come out of it. As long as I was doing all this extra writing, I decided to throw in one of my most favorite billet techniques. You'll recognize it by its sheer coolness, but just in case, I'll give you the initials...T.S.E.A.A.A.B.B.

I have been considering removing the A.A.A. component of the name, as I do not wish to infringe on Marc's A.A.A. series. I may substitute the word "Impromptu."

Yeah, I think I'm definitely gonna get rid of the "AAA." I don't want to invite any controversy.
Ultimately, it's the technique itself that will have a tremendous impact (don't believe me? Well, you'll see...)on how people do billet work. Still, it would be nice to have an equally cool name. I'll need to give this some thought. |

Elliott, you are the man, you really really are.
Can. Not. Wait! |

Thank you Torkova and Paul. I think I will use "Extemporaneous" instead of AAA. "Extemporaneous" has more syllables, so I may cut back on the rest of the title to compensate. In any case, you won't be disappointed with the actual material. That's for sure.

The new initials are T.E.B.B - I like it.

I completed another edit (over 50 pages...no wonder it took so long.)
The supplement itself is pretty much done. I'll have time to work on it again on Sunday, and should be able to wrap up then. I am not terribly concerned about the mailing. In a worst case scenario, I can always mail it over a few days, like last time. The only unknown factor is that I have no idea how I'm going to edit certain comments from prior supplements. Changing them in Word is not an option, as I have no idea which file is which (I literally have hundreds of Switchcraft related files on my computer) and, even if I could figure that out, I'd need to re-bookmark the entire thing from scratch. That leaves Acrobat. I tried typing over the existing text, but it kept on messing up margins or coming out odd looking. I'll figure something out. |

Dan, you won't be disappointed. I just converted the final word file to PDF, and inserted the videos. It is an amazing supplement. Now, I just need to take care of a few other matters, as mentioned earlier, and it should be good to go.

It's done. I uploaded the book to payloadz and updated my website.
It's about 1 in the morning, and I'm about to turn in. Tomorrow (really today)the first batch (assuming I may be prevented from mailing them all at once) of supplements will be emailed to my list. Elliott |

Switchcraft is a monumental treatise and thanks to Elliott (and to a bunch of kind contributors) keeps growing and growing ad infinitum.
Then you'll rise right before my eyes, on wings that fill the sky, like a phoenix rising!

What a wonderful surprise, and I had already planned on dedicating several hours today to billet practice.
Thanks again Elliott. |

Thanks Guys!!
I really appreciate your posts, especially as they help get the word out about the series. I came up with a last minute fix for the email issue, and sent all the supplements, so check your email and bulk mail folders. As usual, a bunch of emails bounced back. Most of you look like you got it OK, though. If not, please feel free to contact me. For the record, the Switchcraft file available on my site now includes: Switchcraft The Billet Machine Billet Proof Silver Billet Back from the Dead Stack Master CT's Switch Q 4 U 2 The Zombie Chicken Read Alexander Marsh’s Tel. Ken Krenzel’s Psychologia Secrets of the Masters Volume One Secrets of the Masters Volume Two Special thanks go to Millard Longman for his amazing contribution to this supplement. Additional thanks goes to Bob Cassidy, Allen Zingg, Richard Osterlind and Matthew Mello for their great ideas and permissions. Thanks again, Elliott |

I thought I'd be first to respond but apparently am late for the party. I guess everyone is as excited as I am about this new release. What more could be said but thanks Elliott and keep up the great work!

Many thanks (again!!) for another fine supplement. I haven't gotten through all of it, but some of the thinking around the Frixion is fantastic.
