Once those green socks got old, we now use them for rendering beeswax.  The kids and I fill them up with chunks of raw beeswax, tied off the end, put a scuba weight over them in an old pasta pot, fill with water and turn the heat on low until the wax melts and passes through the socks leaving the detritus behind.  Doing it twice makes it really clean and we can then just store the giant pancake or melt it again into one ounce ingots for storage until needed.

Not familiar with traps but do yours have coil springs or flat springs?  I reckon if flat springs, they can be replaced at home with scrap iron, old files, suspension springs, etc.

we will have to keep that in mind, we want to raise bees and harvest beeswax.

we have coilspring traps.

just an update, they finally got those new strings put on the guitar and now both hubby and son are in love with it and fighting over who will play it, LOL.

also, was wondering if anyone knows anything about this guitar manufacturer, I'm considering this classical guitar for my son....

I've heard of Stagg but I've never played one.

I have never heard of them so wondered if they were a good guitar or an off-brand.

My last guitar was a Takamine classical guitar. I don't know if they still are, but at the time (over 20 years ago), Takamines were all hand crafted. It was the best acoustic guitar I ever owned, and it was one of their cheaper models.
