Now it is most likely still destined for the tip but at least she goes out searching good. I even attempted my hand at a small engraved lettering on this 1 – which was a bit trickier than I believed but nonetheless looks pretty affordable in the flesh. Taking into consideration I did not have replacement ideas for the little drill point I was utilizing I was fairly satisfied with the end outcome.

‘Things are lovely if you really like them’ is a good small quote from French dramatist Jean Anouilh. I specifically like the concept that anything can be stunning if you really like it and the converse that things are not inherently stunning but the act of loving them makes them beautiful. Heady stuff for a Friday morning. I’m certain standard service will resume quickly sufficient…

Cheers
