We now carry this cordless Makita Die grinder.  18 Volts of power!  Works very well with bits that have 1/4" shanks.  The battery has a long life & you get 2 of them.  Follow this Link to learn more including a video.  25,000 RPM

We have 2 of these in the Garage sale.  They screw right onto any 600 die grinder, allowing that die grinder to accept bits with 3/8" shanks.  Very nice tools, the only reason they are in the garage sale is due to the fact that we only have 2 of them.

 

Finally, Chris Foltz send me a note recently.  Chris is one of the handfull of carvers that impact our profession the most.  He is an educator.  Needless to say,  Chris & those like him have my utmost respect.  To each of you that are educators, Thank You.  As Chris would say- You guys Rock!

"Hey Aaron !   Check out what my students and I did last night !   Thought you might like to see , the tools we got from you, the block makers, and your design.   We all apreciate your help here at the school and wanted you to have this picture...   I want to personally say thanks as well.
