Those spacers look good and like good fits.  Gonna sit down and play some slide here in a bit and use my rediscovered socket slide.

Almost fit in one box.

Looks good and looks ORGANISED! 

My favourite is self made from a brass fitting from local building merchant. It has polished side and a rough side. Its heavy, but thats ok. And it costs 5 Euros ....

I , like mant slide players have a whole box of slides, some I like better than others. This was the basis for me starting my company back in 1998. After proto types and field testing, that continues even toady, I finally can say I offer a pretty cool fasmily of sonic tools for the questing slideplayer. www.rockymountainslides.com will either really excite you....or scare the living *^*^&*^U&&%!!!! out of you, LOL!!! So mant chioces and colors and starting this Spring 2017 I'll be able to laser etch almost any design on youuuuur slide for a really personal Tone Toy!!!!    

Those are beauties, Doc and I had one once.  It kind of messed my day when I reached in my pocket and it was broken.  My fault.

I have several. You should have one.

Thanks Buddy, I dolove what I do. And to be able to offer a cool tool at a nice price makes it even Better!!! 

so you play often. Can you pick your favorite?

Damn, I know the feeling....but it's always a trade off, right? :)
