Should we send them all at once... or in MODERATION for moderation?

FLOOR STRIPPER (Notice the fine Stripper poles... they keep the handles from falling on the floor!)


WIRE STRIPPER


PAINT STRIPPER

At the risk of making this thread less "exciting", here is some helpful info.

Flexcut makes several woodworking tools including this Mini Draw Knife. I think you'll find it fits the bill.

I know...

This just might leave someone with the mistaken conclusion that I can be serious for more than 30 seconds; BUT! ... Here is a tool I use for lots of stuff, including carving on my trees.

It is a farrier's hoof pick, sold at most farm supply stores that sell horse care products. If you have the right connections, you could even get the main part of the blade curved a bit. The hooked end is used for cleaning out the crevases in and around the bottom of a horse's hoof. It works great digging into areas need to be recessed or hollowed out. They come in both right and left handed versions. The one in the photo is a right handed knife. For use on a horse, the blade is held with the palm up and the blade exiting the hand on the little finger side, cutting is NORMALLY done towards you, but in other uses can be held and used however is necessary. It can be used somewhat like a one-handed draw knife.

And if you happen to know a farrier, he (or, more rarely, she) can make you one from a cast off horseshoe.

I are one! But, I no longer own a forge or anvil. Easier to buy one ready made! (Best farriers are women, theiy tend to fit under the horse better and their smart enough to realize they aren't stronger than the horse so they figure out ways to convince the horse it was all their idea!

Thanks everyone for the suggestions and comical responses.

Go to any art store look at clay tools half the price of a bonsai tool.
