OK so I ordered my Holster Burnisher on the 25th of March with a Ship date of 04/08/14 which is completely fine. But now I'm on my 4th e-mail looking for my order, I did get one response that it was shipped. Attached was a tracking number, unfortunately the tracking number shows that the order was shipped to Singapore!? I live in Canada. I sent another e-mail yesterday but no response yet.

Update! Just received an email and looks like they shipp my order and an order to Singapore the same day and gave me the wrong tracking number. I sould see it by Friday. Fingers crossed.

Ordered mine on March 30 and got them on April 28. Ed probably was preparing for the Sheridan show, and has more work than a one man show can handle...don't we wish we all had that problem. The product looks and works great.

except for the fact that he replied in another thread recently to say he does not make these anymore and doesn't sound like he has anything directly to do with them now, so......it's not him that is lagging...

I ordered new bit for my burnisher motor from an English tool maker I know. It was a custom job, from my simple sketch and he did a great job. It fits my motor shaft perfectly and runs without any vibrations. He trowed in one of his awls as a gift too. Its a Little beauty.

And of course for leather, its cocobolo and brass.

This is Christmas all over again.

That awl handle is impressive, I like the fluting , nice bit of work. What's the inlay in the butt?

He is doing those on his lathe, he have made many attachments for it that can do every thing; even make rosettes. I guess the white in the handle that is either ivory or horn. The awl blade is made of a car spring and have a hardened tip to hold an edge longer.

Here is some of his other small hand tools; where the handles are made from cocobolo, ivory,horn black wood and brass. He does them all in his lathe. This is one of his hobbies. I also do leather work and he made all his hand tools him self. He told me he could not afford to buy them

I will ask for permission to show of his leather tools here too. He made a copy of Blanchard's pricking wheel that is very impressive and a draw gauge in gun metal that is very nice. In fact all what he does looks very good. I have tried to talk him in to making me some tools, but I understand its allot of work. Thats one of the reasons I do not want to post his name here; he is going to get overrunned by tool requests (and its only one of his hobbies). I am going to make a new topic about his tools next week, this week I am too busy.

Thank you for your comments, I will make sure he knows.

Thanks
