SNIP
I have some of Jim Thompson's chisels. He sent me some, "for safe
keeping". Chisels I sure didn't want, because I knew what it meant. To him
and to me.
END SNIP
Yeah, Scott, me too. I bought a bunch of tools from Jim in those last
couple of years, and then he gave me a bunch (wound up with both an eagle
head and panther head saw, along with beautifully handled chisels). He had
been through years of false alarms, so I kept telling him he shouldn't let
go of them until he was sure, but he WAS sure, and unfortunately, he was
right.
A good friend, and amazingly skilled man was Jim.
