Friends,
Some of you think that you are passionate about tools. I can insure you that you are not. If you were, you would have the kitchen silverware which is sold at:

Attached is a photo of this silverware which is meant for use by real tool enthusiasts, and not by pikers like you and me.

Uhhhh, Mel,
You use the fork wrench to adjust bicycle and motorcycle fork head caps. The spoon wrench is for removing lug bolts and then breaking the bead from the rim of a wheel. Golfers used a wooden spoon wrench to adjust the drive, hook, and slice of their 3-wood. The pliers knife give careless woodworkers a way to hold their food and slice it with only one hand. Most golfers use two hands to slice, so you rarely saw the pliers knife on the links.

Bob,
Glad you explained it. I couldn't figure it out.I don't think this thread is going to make it to 300 posts. :-)
Have fun.

Yes, I seem to be the caboose kid on threads.
(Make it three posts, though: 1% of the way. As Lao Tzu posted in a different forum, "a long thread starts with a single post.")
I think this post could easily make it to 300 posts, cause anyone who's ever installed any of this kinda specialized pull stuff is gonna auger into the post and point out that the handles bolt holes may not have generally or consistently achieved (at least in my expierience) a precision of mfging such that the alignement of bolt holes is neither perpindicular, nor consistant in inter-hole spacing. IE, every handle has to be scoped out for variance and checked for alignment.OCD folks beware-not prettySomehow it reminds me of ####current c&W song who's refrain goes "Jesus take the wheel"why? because neither the mfgr, purchaser or seller did.Now it's become your responsibilty to install them straight....Eric.
Bin There done that
Bob,
Old duffers never die, they just lose their balls.

A Woodworkers mind should be the sharpest tool in the shop!
Mel, .....maybe that stuff is indeed for those who think they are tool enthusiasts, but definitely not for those who are tool enthusiasts.
Where on earth is it made??
Philip,
Maybe you could improve the silverware set by making something that looks like a plane, but is actually a cheese slicer. :-) Another subject. I posted a message last week about shoulder knives, which were used in past centuries in Europe to make marquetry, and later, to make incised lettering on the facades of houses in Europe (BIG chip carving). As you know, I have only make one blade, which is for that little hand plane I made. There is a guy in the local woodworkers guild who has experience in knife making, he has invited me to his shop next month to make two of these things. He wants one too. If it works out, I'll post some photos, and let you know. THese shoulder knives, or shultermesser, as they are known in German, and ciseau d'epaule in French, are interesting large cutting tools. It looks like a surgical tool for use on elephants. It should be a hoot.Have fun.

Mel, the shoulder knife certainly looks as though it can get down to business-good for doing those big letters. I presume the knifemaker will use O1 steel?Philip Marcou
Ah Philip,
Will the knife maker use O1 steel?
I suggested oil quenched steel. He told me that he already has the steel. After that, I didn't ask any more questions. I will be a guest in his shop. I will learn as much as possible, and I will let you know what we did and how it turned out. Hey, if you don't mine, look at the two tables I posted photos of in a thread in General Discussion, titled "Best Pieces of Recent Furniture". The stuff isn't mine, obviously. It more beautiful than any furniture that I have ever seen. Have you heard of the maker, Patrick Edwards of San Diego, California?
