And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Sorry, but that is a stupid tool roll for chisels - it protects the handles and does not completely ensure that the blades won't knock against each other. Maybe not likely, but a PITA when they do. I can easily replace a handle (and it takes a LOT of damage to require replacement); repairing the cutting edge properly once dinged is not quick, nor necessarily easy. Made my own tool roll. Doubled canvas. The blades go into the pockets.
well, the roll is for a variety of tools, not exclusive to chisels. Aside from finding someone equiped to do heavy material stiching, canvas is a practical choice.
I don't like leather tool pouches. A lot of leather tanning processes leave acidic residues behind that rust tools badly. Ask me how I know....
ReplyDeleteThe leather must be scrubbed hard with a stiff-short bristled brush and saddle soap to remove any and all tanning chemicals.
ReplyDeleteThen rinsed thoroughly with fresh water and hung up and air dried completely.
Next, a thick coat of mink oil must be applied and worked deep into the leather with a stiff-short bristled brush and hung to dry for 3 days.
Then the leather should be wiped and burnished to a luster with dry linen cloths.
Then and only then is it ready to take high carbon steel tools.
