Practice makes perfect. I think you'd make an excellent, if not conspicuous, ninja.

A bit on the tall side I'd say.

just wanted to say thank you for sharing the videos with everyone. I suspected the procedure for the military bit was as you demonstrated. I like to be 100% with everything I do and you came through for those of us that were unsure or just didn't have a clue. I really enjoy using your tooling design with confidence and will continue to purchase your product.

Thanks again!
It's good to know that they illustrated the technique clearly enough for you guys. Thanks for the feedback and the kind words.

Steve, I hope you posted that in case someone else was wondering the same thing. You shipped mine Tuesday. Hoping I'll see it tomorrow. :)

These tools are incredible, I think the french wheels will save me hours every week. And the spoon bits are perfect. I have not used the military mounts yet, but saw them used and they also are very easy to use. I will be buying more when I get money.

"but rev, isn't smoking a sin?"

well I suppose if one were to smoke to excess it would be a sin

"but what would be smoking to excess?"

Why smoking two pipes at once of course

J. Alan Design Tools now brings us parabolic spoon bits, they are a conical tip instead of the round tip. They are the same price as the round tipped bits. Most of us retailers will have them soon. Here's a pic to show the 2 kinds of spoon bits side by side
