Last week I received a package from Jim Bode. This one only took 3 weeks to reach me as apposed to the previous (and first) one that took three months. If you are keen to find out what happened to that package read this post http://wp.me/p5S0Ig-1W3
You can check out Jim’s website, there is a link on my home page. I have only good things to say about their service. He usually hangs on to the stuff I buy until we have enough to justify a shipment across the Atlantic.
From right to left:
Yankee no. 135 quick-return screwdriver with 5 bits, I. Sorby pigsticker mortice chisel, Japanese carving axe, and a Yankee no. 41 push drill with 8 bits.
A perfect user ensemble of hollows and round by Sims (ca 1816-1834). These are incredibly well made and as good today as 200 years ago.
Of course the axe catches my eye, and my fancy.
Hi Ernst, I will take some pictures of the Kavango axe I told you about, how do I get them to you?
That would be good of you Gerhard. Try this address, ernestdubois@icloud.com
Will do Ernst, hopefully tonight.
