Comparison_of_Results_-__A__top,__B__bottom.jpgComparison of Results108 viewsThe area next to the red cord wrapped example was achieved in about 15 seconds with less work than needed to achieve the results next to the yellow wrapped example -- 30 seconds, more effort, and a less uniform smoothness in the surface.Charlie Driggs

Post_Test_Wear_Evidence.jpgPost-Test Wear Evidence111 viewsthe thick straw example on the bottom performed the best, and showed a little stain of mahogany dust. The thin straw example also worked, but with more effort and time, and a less uniform result. It was apparent that the test only involved part of the face on both.Charlie Driggs

IMG_2586.JPGGalootaclaus 2009 - Today was a second Christmas!68 viewsJust before 1pm, I walked down to the mailbox, and there was the package .. Galootaclaus has been here!
First things out of the box was Albert's note (thank you, Albert), followed by eight NOS files, a nice example of a Morrill Apex sawset, a Craftsman drill index, and a set of five Stanley 750 chisels, three of which need some TLC to get their handles to stay where they belong. Niiiccee chisels, worthy of sitting next to my Bucks, Witherby's, Sorby's and Spear & Jackson.Charlie Driggs
