I'm pretty excited, thanks to Gary Pye Woodturning!

I've wanted a miniature set of tools since I got the lathe, but they were too expensive. I bid on one on ebay last week, but got outbid because I was really broke just then (the Zoe going to Sydney thing).

I was looking online, not really with any hope of finding something I could afford, just, you know, torturing myself the way we do when we drool over things we want and can't afford.

And on GPW I found a miniature set of 5 for $45!!!

I had to phone them to make sure that they hadn't made a mistake and forgotten the 1 in front! They said about $10 postage.

So, next pay day, I'm buying a set!

Thank you GPW!!!

$45!:o wow that a low price. I might have to buy a set as well. Do you know how long they are?

All the details for sizes are on their website. Their full size chisels are inexpensive but good too.

I'll let you know how they are when I get them. Just what I need for fiddly bits on hairsticks :)
