>Well, I just dove into the deep end of the pool. BIG order with Craft Supplies.

A couple of gouges, scrapers, skew, parting tool,(all Henry Taylor's), diamond dresser and Wolverine jig.

Toy errr...TOOL money piggy bank in serious arrears!

Hey! I've been a good girl. Why wait 'til Christmas?

It appears the slippery slope gets steeper and steeper!

And next Saturday, a seminar with Andi Wolfe. Cool, huh?

>Just wait until you get one of those Henry Taylor gouges in your hands feeling the heft of the balanced handle, watching that mirror finish on the steel glint/wink at you while those long shavings are flying.....you'll realize that your tool hunger has only just begun.

Then when you see Andi in action...well...it's only a matter of time before you zip out and start ordering carving tools.

Whatever you do, don't ask us for mercy of help, we're in the same pit with you. =o)
