I have been good. Since the Woodcraft store opened on the 17th, and I had yet to actually buy anything. But that all ended last night.

I picked up my first card scrapers, a Lie-Nielsen 2 piece set. A burnisher, Bill Grumbine's "Turned Bowls Made Easy", and a can of salad bowl finish.

I know it won't be my last purchase.......:rolleyes:

I think the card scraper is the unsung hero of my shop. I use them for every project. If you want pointers on sharpening them, i recommend doing a card scraper search on the blogspot of www.woodworking-magazine.com. Christopher Schwarz compared several published methods. I really like that publication as well - no advertisements. They do tool reviews on just about anything - even old tools that aren't available anymore, like eggbeater drills, old chisels, old hand planes, etc. They're not beholded to advertisers.
Have fun with it all.
