    Wow, five generations!

    Were they all there for Christmas?

    Unfortunately only 4 generations were able to celebrate together. I am the oldest, so I am the only one to have grandchildren of my own. While my daughter lives in town and was there, along with 5 of his other great-grandchildren, my son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter live in Denver.
    I was able to get some 5-generation photos last year though.

    A great set of Gramercy holdfasts and the new Lee Valley LED work light. The next thing is to sell the Veritas offset holdfast I got a few years ago when I worked for LV. The Gramercy are bulkier the the Veritas but they are faster to use and seem to hold better.

    As promised some pics of my Japanese water stones, they arrived yesterday from Stu.

    In the box:

    Out of the box (I dribbled some water already on the stones so the japanese kanjis ink got smeared):
    DSC01661.jpg

    A quick note on their use, I decided to go ahead and sharpen my plane blade a few minutes ago. Was my first time sharpening a plane blade and first time using a water stone. I didn't use a guide and I can tell already I need practice, but I am very satisfied with the results, it's like a knife through butter what are in my opinion very fine shavings off the SYP I'm using for my roubo.

    A later Stanley 65 marking gauge, something I've wanted for a while.
