re: File till

Mike, the Iwasaki floats are “fine.” They’re not as special as some people might lead you to believe, but they’re reasonable floats at a reasonable price. I’ll probably make my own floats at some point because I use a float or a rasp when dovetailing to level out the waste that was mostly sawed out with a coping saw. And I can resharpen floats myself, unlike rasps…

Thanks, guys. And yeah, I’m retired and practicing my emblingoning. I think this turned out ok. The barrels & beads aren’t bad, but the other carving could be better. Oh well. It will be next time.
