Thank you Michael. I do not claim my effort here to be any kind of scholarly
research. Rather it is my  intent to record some of my observations and
experiences relating to the hand tools I have used - and loved  - during my
lifetime before I depart “this mortal coil”.

I agree with your comments relating to the main idea and purpose of the adz eye
design for securing woodworking hammer heads. I have thought that myself for
some time. I will add an explanatory note to that effect on my web page.

Again, thank you for your contribution, Michael.

James
