That's a good result, they look a decent quality to, just a quick wire wool and oil to bring as good as new methinks.......

ok, not all will be kept.

i need to work out what i want an what i don't but some of the larger ones are useful for doing large spindle work when you have multiple diameters.

the smaller ones will probably be welded to set diameters for my skittles. i have some already and use those daily.

the rest i'll probably sell.
