Grenadier,
Thank you, with Christmas right around the corner I have revised my list- I know what to ask for now! Beautiful concept and there has always been high praise for the Hagn. It has been a mystery to me why the London makers are not offering any Farqharson patterns? At this time the only completely finished Farqharsons I know of are coming out of Michigan (Ballard) and Soroka (New Zealand). Seems to me it is high time they make such an effort. In regard to the state of the Holland and Holland workbench, I find it as it should be, the best work comes from a cluttered and scared wooden bench- in this state there is never any question that work has been done there! But I digress, enjoy your work of art!
Best Regards
