I posted this in a couple other places but I feel like it belongs here.

Still whittling, the new 62 pc run gave me an excuse to get a regrind on the 38. Silky smooth cuts now. It was good before, it's great now.

His regrinds one GEC blades make for exceptional cutting geometry, this is very cool to see

The whittlers are awesome, not sure why they aren't more popular, I guess they made enough of them to go around.

It is an American Whittler SFO that was done when they did Grinling whittlers.

So was I, formerly Always liked coins and American ones are very admirable in design given they don't change so often. However, an 'English' Whittler called for The Bank of England....Benedetto Pistrucci's design/die of St George and the dragon as seen on gold Half Sovereigns and Sovereigns (other denominations too) is a very beautiful work. But if you have time have a look at William Wyon's engraving for the Gold Five Pounds coin 1839 Una & The Lion, beyond beautiful and worth a mint

amen, i bet, when i was touring london i only grabbed a quick set, i didnt have as much time to chase what i wanted to, as big a fan as i am of sherlock holmes, the old crown coins mean quite a bit, but some day i reckon ill be back. tho i was born a citizen in her majesty's colony, my parents always reminded me the queen didnt want us.
