Ha ! Ha !
Sent me to another shop and the man took my name - read horoscope - gave me a pebble.
I had to go up the mountain where this sort of pebble was found and find one of the same sort of rock that had a 'harmonious' shape.

Went and found one and a few days later the completed chop was delivered .

Hand engraved - no machinery at all, even in slicing the stone in half !

Was delivered in a little laquered case with an ink pad and the spare bit of rock as well so that the overall profile could not be reproduced !

Cost ? - about 40$US

Have used it for the last 20 years and is one of my prized possessions !

AV is bigger than the actual chop

Bloody amazing workmanship !

Very sad.

One of the most decent posters on the board.

Folk of his ilk are few and far between.

RIP Happy, I'll miss you.

**Mathos** · 03-02-2011, 08:14 PM

I heard a short while ago via e-mail from TSR2.

It's so sad.

He was a wonderful contributor to TeakDoor. Extremely knowledgeable in many spheres, he will be very sadly missed.

Wish I had met him in the flesh, have spoken to him on here and via e-ail for some three years or so now.

A thorough Gentleman.

RIP Peter, ( Happyman.)

Sincere condolences to family and friends.

Mathos & Flobo.

Another name that I will come across in my telephone directory (Happy Pete) that I will not be able to erase.

Shit, these sad events are becoming more frequent of late.

Been away from the computer for most of the last few days so hadn't seen this thread.

RIP Happyman, the stories he posted were always worth reading.

**Looper** · 08-02-2011, 08:40 AM

Sad news. Seemed like a content and amiable guy who had found a happy place to live out his days.

Maybe put RIP under his av like the other 3 TD'ers who have logged off in the last year.
