232132 The WWL <thewwl@o...> Aug-03-2012 FS Mixed Lot Dastra Chisels,
 Up for sale is one lot of mixed items.

First is three (3) DASTRA brand, cranked neck chisels and one gouge. The
gouge is marked No. 8 and the chisels are marked in mm for a nominal
size of 3/8" and =BD". Also pictured is a PIKE Washita stone with a very
poor label on the face. The stone has been used on the reverse side. It
is in a CARBORUNDUM brand box that originally contained a Silicon
Carbide stone.

 Lastly is a Goodell Pratt push drill with all of the bits shown in the
 picture plus one modern twist bit in the handles. This is really a nice
 tool in fine, sued shape. But I have no interest or use in it.

$55.00 plus shipping.

Picture available:

For those who know better--please correct me if I'm misleading anyone
here; for those who don't know.....

That Washita Pike stone can really be a fantastic sharpening stone. I
acquired one last year and it has provided superb service--being able
both to cut metal rather quickly (I have water stones, too) or to
really hone the edge to a fine level of sharpness (my guess--about 1500
grit equiv.).

So, if you've been looking for a golden oldie Ark. stone, here
potentially is a great one.=A0

Oh, and I know the difference between a Washita and a black surgical or
hard transluscent, as well.=A0
