Hi Eddie Thanks for the info & video on Holey Gallahad - I've found them at Classic Hand Tools and as you say they are not cheap but it does look as though it could be a really useful bi of kit. I've already got the Arbotech tungsten tipped carver for the angle grinder and it looks like the...

Hi Eddie thanks for sharing your amazing artwork with us. It's refreshing to see something a little different to the normal stuff and just what can be achieved with some imagination ( and skill) I love the mouse tea light - it's given me some ideas for Christmas presents! Could you tell me...
