Some emails I received recently... April, 2022 Good evening Wiktor, At long last the tools have arrived! You’ve done a fine job on both and they were certainly worth the wait.

Many thanks again, Steve 12/02/21 Hi Wiktor, The drill arrived yesterday and I got a chance to use it last night. Superb. You've done a great job. Everything looks and feels great. Very many thanks! Gary 07/22/21 Wiktor, The drills arrived yesterday, Wednesday. They are truly beautiful! Your work is outstanding. Great craftsmanship and attention to detail. I will enjoy using them. I thank you very much, John PS. I wish you the best of health ! January, 2021 Hello Wiktor, I received the drill yesterday and I was absolutely impressed. The attention to detail is incredible. The photos do not capture all the minute details. I have worked in the mold making trade my entire career and I truly appreciate the time and diligence to make such a quality piece of work. I can see the passion that you have for these drills. I still like to work in my wood shop as it takes me back to when I first started in the trade as a wood pattern maker and progressed to a model maker. Maybe that is why I appreciate older tools and the hand craftsmanship it took to make these items. This will definitely see some use. Thanks Again! Scott Schade

To place an order, please select an item from the lists of specific products and send me an email with request. I will reply with description of the steps to complete pre-order.
