Should you ever have time and inclination to make a second set, I'll buy 
it!  The plastic rings stink, and you can buy replacement sets but they 
are plastic, too.  I'm always on the watch at yard sales and flea 
markets for them but so far, no luck (ours died in the fire).

So you make me a set, and when I come visit you, I'll beat you at a game 
of Carom.....
