Italian made rasps do espresso too. ;-p

I don't know. They are all still disassembled in a single tray. I'm Waiting for you to reassemble them. :-p

Like almost every years, the woodworking forum Legnofilia (Woodphilia) staff published a woodworking related calendar. And like last year, they also made an english version for all the not italians friends. Feel free to download it for free, freely here...

And what about un-lumpy lillac? http://www.legnofilia.it/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=7904 Is it not a sufficiently British color?
