A while back I posted a query re good brands of traditional hand drills. Following a tip here, I bought just the thing from Lee Valley. The hand drill already has been put to good use. While I was at it, I requested catalogs. DH has been reading them and says "these Lee Valley catalogs are dangerous!" ie far too many wonderful things to buy. Brass ceiling hooks, special scissors, knock down furniture fittings, drawer pulls...
Thanks, guys!
