    Hallo Mikko, seit Kurzem bin ich auch Besitzer einer Singer Nähmaschine mit "großem Greifer" und breiter Spule. Ich benötige paar weitere Spulen. Eventuell kannst du mir helfen. Grüße.

    Mikko now you’ve had it a year, how do you find the quality of the steel? Does it hold its edge well? Depending on your answer I’ll make one. As always, beautiful tool-making.

    Thank you for sharing another aspect of what goes in to your art. I would imagine much of what you use for tools, you have made- inspiring! …I am curious about the tallow horn, is it actually tallow that you utilize? Does it not spoil or grow mold? Or am I jaded by product consumerism in the US 😂

    I render my tallow from mutton kidney tallow which is so pure that it never goes rancid.

    Mikko, i just found this. thank you for the tour and demonstration, and i love those tools so much. your spid is with me at all times and i can almost sense the spikes and fids you showed there... also: how awesome that you turned the function of the fin fid around to operate on the pull, that's a very synergetic change and just makes it so much smarter.

    This brought memories of over 50 years ago. We often painted riding horse hooves with it, and suddenly, I remembered the smell. I came back, to look for more details of the tar itself, as I had never thought about it. I am listening to a series of stories of allied men becoming prisoners of war, in WW2, and one chap, escaping, painted his shoes with stockholm tar! Of course, I could imagine it - and the fresh smell. The young men researching the stories are wondering if it is a bland or strong smell, to help escape, it is so removed fromyoung lives. and I am just grinning at the memories and a new use for that tar, a strong memory of my childhood and teen years. I am sniffing the remembered smell, as I type. I had never thought of how stockholm tar is produced. Thank you from Oz.
