>Has anyone seen John Jordan's new arm brace tool handle? It is not yet on his web page, and I am curious as to what improvements, if any, John may have made to the Don Pencil version?

>I saw John's armbrace handle at SSS and I didn't care for it much. I looked on the Don Pencil site and it doesn't look like any of the armbraces on that site. To me it looks like a straight tool handle with a minor bend towards the tool end and some 1/8" steel to fit around your arm. It didn't feel comfortable to me but hten I imagine that the pistol grip styles don't feel comfortable to others. I do remember John saying during his hollowing demo that he preferred the armbrace like he had over the pistol grip stlye. Hope that helps.

>Also I really liked his hollowing bars. They were really well made and I plan on purchasing them when I buy my next hollowing tools.

>Thanks for the reply.

I ordered a set of large hollowing tools from John, and the new style arm brace handle he offers.

John basically said that if I don't like it, send it back, no problem. From what I hear this is his policy with his hollowing tyools as well.

Once I've had this setup for a while, I'll post some feedback on it.
