Re: cabinetmaker's tool chest

STUNNING--In 25 years of collecting woodworking tools and following both American and English tool auctions I have never seen any thing that compares to your tool chest. Every thing flows together to please the eye. The craftsmaship is as good as it gets. The choice of materials is surperb. I am really emotional about your chest. If you belong to MWTCA please email me at kfkline@bellsouth.net.

Re: Tool Cabinet

Hello,
Always happy to share and you can reach me at kfkline@bellsouth.net.
I have taken pictures of most of the steps in making the butterflies. You will need access to a scanner, copier and you probably have everything else needed.
If you have an old vhs player I'll seed you a couple of tapes by a well known luither. This is how I started 2 years ago. Give me your email address and phone number and we'll get started. The butterflies are not colored by me and thats the real seceret I'll share with you. Regards--Ken KLine 770-424-1686

Re: Pair of ivory and German silver spirit levels

Hello Berry,
Absolutely stunning. The workmanship is better than marvelous. I'm a long time tool collector and this kind of work makes you want to take one of the levels to bed and pet it. Congrats, MWTCA member, kfklline@bellsouth.net.
