Being to lazy and age has worked my hands and fingers over I prefer to do my carving with power tools. So by definition I don't know how you would classify me...but I think, hey you, is good enough! I have seen the prices of good carving knives and about threw up but also I just got these 12 1/8" and 3/32" shaft size bits in yesterday and I took them out of the small package and slipped them in to the little pocket in my Levi's which is about 2" x 2" and started out for the shop with my wife and a gun for protection from thieves between here and the shop... but also I had to go grocery shopping while my wife was laid up and I carried the sack out of the grocery store between my thumb and a finger and the bill was just under 100.00 so what we gonna do..... There is one more from that order but its in the grinder being used at the time of the picture session....it is another green model of the Saburr brand and one of the best wood bits a person can use.....This little purchase was 176.10 and those 3/32" shaft size ruby stones will out last the diamond stone and do smooth up hard maple real nice... So about the time difference in hand carving and using power tools well my way is quicker but probably a more worser, is this a word, showing in the end..... And I do want to add this is about the first purchase of new bits of any kind since I started carving in 2016.
