Tool Goat
Oct 25^th, 2009 at 11:08am

I just picked up some tools at an estate sale, for just less than $100. A 1 1/4" Raffan scraper, 1/2" P&N bowl gouge, a 3/8 Sorby spindle gouge, Versa-jig, a double ended caliper, and a vernier caliper.
The obvious down side is that being an estate sale a fellow turner passed away. I was privileged to be shown a large display of his work, and can only hope that his spirit will help guide those tools to make me half the turner he was.

None of ya'll would want it any way, its too short and mostly all gray, I guess you could dye it, but its still to short... mama doesn't like long hair so I can't go back to the woodstock days... Embarrassed
