The mandrel bends do look nicer though.

I think that is the membership he's talking about AAA, a regular tow charge would be a round $450 so the membership would be a cheap way of getting it down there..

I'd likely have to take it to the big city to have any mandrel bending done and that's 250 miles away..

Three knives John. About $50. at Lowe's.

I changed them the last time I planed wood for book cases that I made for this woman. Building a King size bed for her. More walnut to butcher.
