That nice man Steve (Twister), donated his old tools to help a newbie get turning!
A quick clean, regrind and sharpen, and here they are.

A basic grind on each, until Lainey finds her feet, so to speak.
Another plus for Uncle Jim's fantastic creation!:thumbs:

Thank you Terry , I look forward to making some and showing them on here . I just need to get a bit of free time to sort out my workshop and get the dust extraction situation researched and purchased ! ( oh and the electrician ) In the meantime Neil has very kindly offered to show me how it's done and get me started , which I'm really looking forward to .

I can't wait to see the photos Lainey. The tools look spot on so there won't be any excuses. :thumbs:

A bit pat on the back for all involved in supplying and sorting these tools for Lainey. :thumbs:
