I probably don’t anneal as often as many have reported. It’s pretty time consuming if you do it by holding the case in your hand and heating the neck by candle, which is the way I’ve done it - I did it this way the last time maybe a couple weeks ago.
My brother had a machine that automatically turned the case annealed the neck. That machine made it possible to get a lot of annealing done painlessly. Now one of his kids has it and I don’t get to use it.
Maybe I should look at buying such a machine.


I prefer classic.
