The set so far.
I’m really pleased with how they look and feel. The wood is beautiful and sooo smooth. Very tactile.
They work well too.
For a bit of whimsy, here is a picture of the first pick that I ever made.
The story is, I had just finished reading the MIT guide (downloaded from usenet before the WWW) when going to lunch I saw a bundle of steel bristles laying in the gutter. Never seen them before or since.
Taking this as a sign, I went to the local hardware store and bought a couple of Master pad locks (103s I think). I went home and ground out this little half diamond (it acquired the notch at a later date) and within a couple of minutes had popped the Masters and the rest is, as they say, history.
Thank you Master.
For every expert there is an equal and opposite expert.
