I did not get the attachments at all, nor did com alert me to the fact that

there were attachments. The sender details above also dont mention

attachments. Please resend these, it is really interesting.

 

Does anyone have anything on soap making?

These images did not come out in the right order.

 

This is the proper sequence for procecessing flax into linen thread:

 

1. Rippling (see image)

 

2. Retting (rotting -- no image)

 

3. Breaking with flax break (see image)

 

4. Scutching (no image)

 

5. Hackling with hackle (see image)

 

6. Spinning with distaff (see image)

No, its a funny old world. I got the attachments in the post you sent to the

apocalypse conference. I get attachments all the time from com, that is not

a problem. It seems though that sometimes some attachments just dont make

it. I dont know why.

 

It maybe that com strips attachments from outside, but I often receive and

send attachments without problem. I was doing it a lot for Mayapur project.

 

Anyway thanks, very informative, good illustrations.
