At the Woodex show, I spent a bit of time with Colin C, whom I met there for the first time.
Well, we looked at one tool stand and I looked at a couple of lovingly honed blades with mirror finish on the bevel and back. Very impressed, I asked the guy demonstrating how he does it? Use a leather strop he says and proceeded to show me how.
I remarked to Colin that I would have to get a suitable piece of leather. Colin tells me not to bother as he has some spare.
I looked at some saws next and I nearly bought a Gents saw - Colin then mentioned that he had several and would send me one FOC
Came home from work tonight to find a parcel - lovely big piece of leather and a very nice George Ibbotson Gents saw.
Thanks loads Colin, you are a very generous man and it is much appreciated
