puzzle and jeweller blades

[overfifty]

I'm interested in acquiring some puzzle and jeweller blades. I understood Mike sold them but don't see them for sale on his site. Am I just not looking hard enough? Thank you, Barry.

I buy the blades from Mike, and yes, just checked his site and they are both listed. The jeweler blades are the last item on his blade page and the puzzle blades are about 4 from the bottom. Are you looking at Mike's Workshop?

I believe so, it's the link on Steve's homepage. Thank you, Barry.

Ray! Thanks, already ordered a dozen from Mike. However, as our resident Irishman could you possibly translate "Proud to be Irish" to your second native tongue (not 'merican please). Cheers, Barry.

Mike has eliminated a few of the blades he use to carry -
their was a #3 blade ( very agressive ) that he no longer carries -
but he does carry a simalr blade - but its just not the same .
Honestly I cant recall the blade specs ( wish i kept the old package )

But this doesnt surprise me - over the past 20 years ,I seen 3-4 of my favorite blades
eliminated . You get use to a blade and then its like starting over -
guess at my age its a challenge -- but when you cut for 6-8 hours a day ,
the better the blade -the easier your life is (thou i love what i do )

Im looking at a Pegas blade ( modified ) got some samples last winter
( had to edit one of our books -with new patterns etc.) and they sent me
some assorted blades - including their super sharps -but they tear the bottom side a bit .

let me know what's out their ---

overfifty -
Ive  talked to Mike a few times -he will also drop you a few in the mail
if youd like to try this or that --- Give me a shout if i can help !

Barry - Sorry - I didn't see your "Proud to be Irish" translation request. I struggle with English and Spanish - the others are auto-translated from http://imtranslator.net/translation/english/to-chinese-traditional/translation/.

Hi Ray. Thank you for that. I'm going to add the Gaelic to Sue Mey's "Proud To Be Irish" design just because...

Mr. Burns, thank you for your comments. I received my puzzle blades from Mike and am excited to start trying my hand at a couple. Cheers, Barry.

Hi Ray. Thank you for that. I'm going to add the Gaelic to Sue Mey's "Proud To Be Irish" design just because...

Barry - there's another popular saying that a lot of Irish keep near the front door: "c?ad m?le f?ilte" (A Hundred Thousand Welcomes). I don't know Sue May's pattern, but that might be a good addition.

Sounds like I'm going to make a pattern to suit that phrase, and give them two pieces. Thank you.
