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 April, 2019 I received the drill yesterday. It is absolutely stunning. Thank you. Tray
