Hi All
Made another trip to DT 's and of course had to pick-up another couple tools.:rolleyes: Got another Jimmy Clews 1/2" bowl gouge put 40* Grind on for push cuts down the side ,also a 3/8" handle for my 3/8 round skew. I believe thats most of the gouges for now. ;) But DT
scrapers are looking pretty good and the skews I think are going to be a gotta have.:cool: He's go a 1 1/4" Roughing Gouge that I might need also.TOOL JUNKY thats me.:D:D:D
197332197333Forgot about the new grinder set-up the one on the right is my original 60gt AO and 120gt AO the one on the left 46gt SG Norton and 80gt SG Norton.The SG's are unbelievable the finish from the 80gt SG is smoother then the finish from the 120gt AO much finer edge, just crazy sharp!!!!!!

Harry, you are a sick, sick man!! I am glad I don't live closer to Doug - it is going to be dangerous enough for me to see him at AAW!!

Your herd is growing!

And I thought I had it bad! Hopefully, my Glaser arsenal will look like that one day. Maybe I'll get even more tools than that! And more grinders... I NEED MORE GRINDERS!!!!

Harry, I have 2 right now but I plan on getting some more at the symposium, but I will never have the great rack of them you have! I think I can afford some tools, and that will have to do instead of a big Robust or Serious lathe to add to my collection! A guy has to dream I guess!

Couple weeks to go!
