It is a very nice, slick catalog. I'm sure that all of the tools are of extremely high quality, but come on, $12,000 for a saw? The catalog is extremely entertaining. It is full of tool mysticism. In several places it is noted that the iron is no longer available, except for a small quantity. It is further noted that this ore was dug by hand. A western plane is made by a "sincere New England craftsman". Buy the catalog, don't buy the tools. -- ---------------- Marty Sasaki net: sasaki@harvard.{arpa,uucp} Havard University Science Center phone: 617-495-1270 One Oxford Street Cambridge, MA 02138
