OK I finally did it A Perfect Handle Project

[Ietech]

Does this possibly qualify me for JUNIOR membership in PHARTS --- I would be proud!!

Still can't get pics up but here is a link to my Photobucket project. The pics are in reverse order of completion sorry. Actually they are more mixed up than that  The completed tool pics are no. 1,2, and 8

I know it took a long time but I actually finished it about 3 months ago -- that puts me at about 9 months total. My excuse is that I used the silver maple I took from my tree planted in 1957 by my deceased FIL and I had to wait for it to cure properly.

Thats a really nice job.

If you go to your FB page and click on organize you can get the pics in the correct order.
Put your pointer over the pic you want to move then hold down on the left button on your mouse and drag it where you want your pic to be.

Looks real good, Rich.  When I get my shop built, I'll take some of the maple you gave me, and the PH screwdriver John sent me and see if I can do as well.

Thanks guys It was really fun.

I didn't think my tool was actually a HD Smith but I kept wishing it was. Well I looked VEEERRRY HARD under a magnifier and Guess what. I could BARELY make out the HD lots of small pits and CO  it's too bad I can't see the Smith in between. WOW that made my day,
