Big belated thank you to Stu from toolsfromjapan

[Matt Lau]

Dear Creekers,

I'm sure that you're aware that Stu closed ToolsFromJapan after his mom's passing.
Also, a number of us have bought (quite excellent) tools and stones from him over the years.

I'd only opened the recommended sharpening stone set a few weeks ago to finish off a knife (my sister's Christmas present).
I also will *finally* get to put his tools to use, on some projects at hand.

Anyways, I just wanted to send a very grateful "thank you" to Stu.
Without you, I'd still be limping off my mongrel set of King stones.

ps. I don't know how to reach him aside from this forum... Regardless, I'm grateful to him for having made great tools available.

I would also thank him. I bought the 'special' set of sharpening stones a few years ago (and a sweet hammer).
I hope he's well and has returned to the new-normal of losing a loved one.
