Yeah - I think these chisels will get a lot of attention from me. I really like the big "V". Can't beat the FlexCuts. They certainly rock. And hey Surf-n-turf! Good to see ya! The inlay was actually easier than I thought. A really sharp X-Acto knife is a good tool. (I used a hook knife too, tho). You draw the design, lay the material on it - (in this case it was Abalone and bone), then trace it. The bone and abalone stuff really stinks though - You must use a mask... it's really nasty smelling. Smells like the dentist drilling your teeth. [ Edited by: tikigap 2006-12-17 14:18 ]
