I splurged this week on a really nice set of Swiss block cutting tools that clear out the wood cleanly and easily. I had been using a flimsy beginner set that would not stay sharp for more than a few strokes. Using the new ones feels like going from a go-kart to, well, not a Ferrari, but a Toyota Corolla at least.
I am hoping to be able to finish a print tonight, but if it snows I will probably be out jumping around in the backyard like a bozo instead. I hope it does because I want to watch the puppy flip out.
