MAFE made me do it !!

Very nice! I love the combination of woods. The inlay is a sweet touch. Mads does tend to inspire many of us, myself included.

You did a very nice job on this, one that you will use for years. I have found that when you spend the time to do a really nice job on your tools, they work better, you work better, and and what you make with them is better. Then there is the bragging rights when a family member or neighbor comes over and sees it and asks what you paid for it and where did you get it. You tell them that it was made to order by a craftsman.

Mafe has that effect on people.

Mads strikes again. I put this on my to-do list when he posted it. I don’t plan to get as fancy as you did. Really nice job.

Well Done. Now all you have to do is make several thousand more for your friends here at LJ’s for Christmas presents. ;)

I’ve got to know how you “ground the washer” .
Thanks

Hi Daddy,
You have made a wonderful job on that gauge, I thing it is really cool, and that inlay strip is top dollar pling.
Glad, so glad I could find a sweet light here today, you made this day end with a smile for me.
Nothing like selfmade tools, they become natural favorites, and when they are of that standard you just did, they will follow you for life.
I have red ears here… Thank you (all)!
Best thoughts from my heart,
