Thanks Edgar. The issues with getting checkering tools lately and the way my hands feel after doing a lot of checkering jobs makes me wonder if getting one of Hosfords power checkering tools might be a good long term thing. But I just cannot bring myself to do it since the characteristics of a truly hand cut checkering job would be compromised.
Gary, all involved in putting that hammer gun together truly went all out! Very nice.
