    If you get back, both the Civic Museo and the Violin Museum were both open on Sunday. And you can eat (we had a fantastic meal) practically across the street from Strafdivarius' house.

    I would consider what would happen if it didn't work. Now you have a useless pile of steel instead of a bandsaw. You think a New bandsaw is expensive?

    You can get a 3/8" Narex Mortise chisel from Lee Valley for $14.50 + shipping. I guess for that kind of money I would prefer to do them correctly.

    I would guess since you are in Israel it is Olive. If so, it is some beutiful wood. I would cut it into usable lengths and then paint the ends with either Anchorseal or some type of latex paint.
