Nad - Thanks alot!

The gouge got here today just in time to see who is tougher this weekend me or it

I think you might have over-done the packing though, it took awhile to get to that shiney sharp blade

Thanks again and when you decide on selling off any more of your carving tools, let me know!

That thing got the better of me after about two hours whopping it with a 3 pound rubber mallet, glad I won't have to use it very often :P

Randy,you are more than welcome..Just in case you think you have an excess of funds in the checking account, didn't cash the check until you were satisfied..Far different adventure than the last large sweep I sold to a club member.Took the tool in showed it, OK,but am short ten ,pay you next week.Next week I go for the ten spot,he started shaking, threw two broken rifflers at me,mumbeled you like files take these in trade..I figured my biggest fan put him up .Rather a sad case when you send someone else out to do your dirty work, even sadder, when to stay friends,you roll in night soil..In any event, the house across the street and next to me came up for sale, both by owners...I had people interested in both,combined selling price385'000. his cut would have been 55% of 3% app 6300 dollars..Got a policeman to take one and opened the other for a gal in his office....I consider 6310 a high price to pay for any chisel, and really felt bad about not letting him have it....So big mouth,ya gonna make it up to your slave and give him the money?? I have had no use for you ever since you tried to tell me to use silicone grease in my Foredom tool..Now, I stay in my yard, If you want to keep pulling at the chain,I'll be happy to come out..Since I can't carve a damn,and you are the peak,,,,how about,picking two classes/three shows,the hell with anyone else,we go after each other........In regards to the extra tools I have, there is a problem, while many are good, there are some modern tools that may be adequate, but I happen to consider inferior..If I sold them,I would consider them lemons... If you have any idea of how to set a fair price on tools that cost all over the board, some high,some very low,jump on...And, an apology for part of this reply, I am tired of a guy who invites people over to learn carving and subjects them to hours of c//p about me.. They tell me whats going on,in turn I 'll tell them to go learn,it's the price you are being charged for the lessons,, next meeting might be an interesting one, thank you for taking the time to read this, cordially Nad
