Woodcraft sale
Ok, I'm a heathen... a relative newbie to turning and an infrequent turner
at that. I got my Woodcraft flier and on sale, marked down from $44 to around $22 is a mini late tool set. 5 tools, which are on my list of things I "need" (.125" gouge and parting tool, and .25" gouge, round nose scraper, and skew chisel). I went and took a look and now there they are, sitting on the shelf under the lathe. Like the guy a the shop (who I've come to trust) said, they're not Sorby or the like, but they do what they are supposed to and hold a decent enough edge. As I've come to say now and then, sometimes good enough... is. The sale is on through May. I thought it was worth passing on. Ed |

Ed I bought that set a while back, and found them to be better than I expected for the price. As you say, not top of the line, but yes, they are good enough. -- Intelligence is an experiment that failed - G. B. Shaw |

Woodcraft sale
On an extremely rare trip to WC today, I took a minute to look at
these. They look pretty nice to me, and I don't see how you could lose at the price. The boys there said they have had no complaints. Robert |
