I must say your tools do look very good / Profession , How did you do this , I assume you have a metal working shop as well , How did you get the mat grey Finnish  , All very interesting

As well as having a MW lathe and Milling machine I also have a sand blaster! A quick wash off after blasting then wipe down with microcrystalline wax gives a pretty good finish.

Another tip is don’t make a new handle for every tool, just in case you don’t like it. Make some collet handles you can use with anything. These are some of mine.

Hi Bill.
         These tools you have made look very professional and I compliment your engineering knowledge.

                                            Regards John

Thanks John. It’s not difficult when you have the right tools to make them. It’s not just about saving money, I really enjoy making my own stuff if I can.
