Pick these up from Curtis at the CLA.  They're currently working out great on a lock inlet.






Well worth it.
Thanks,
Jeff

Hello Jeff!  I was wondering how they were working out for you, I'm glad to hear you like them.

I sold all the sets I made for the CLA show and made another couple of sets for folks since then.... I'm sorry to say I don't currently have any sets available.  If I get around to making some more I will let you guys know first.  It pretty much takes me a whole day to make a set from start to finish, it's a little quicker if I make several sets at once.

The last couple of sets I made were out of eighth inch square O1 tool steel (ran out of round and gave it a try) and I think I liked them even better than the round stock.

Thanks for the kind words, Jeff!   ;)

I have a set.  They are the greatest thing since safety pins.  I had an intricate carving in fuzzy wood that nothing would clean up.  His chisels made short work of the problem.  All my others were too large to clean up the inside work of removing the background between scrolls.

I figured when I posted this that it would stir up some interest.  Didn't mean to put any pressure on you Curtiss. ;D

But I really do like them.  They'll get used on every future gun I make.
