Announcing a tremendous new addition to the Lake Erie Toolworks Family (literally). Joseph Nicholas Dombrowski first child of Nick and Rachel Dombrowski was born on Easter Sunday, March 20th at 11:30pm. Weighing in at 7lb.-11oz. and 20" long. Mother, Father and Baby are all doing very well. Now we know the next generation that will be turning out the finest wooden vise screws and traditional woodworking tools possible.
I originally bought one for my Lie-Nielsen #51 shooting plane. Besides taking and holding an extremely sharp edge, the MagnaCut chips significantly less than the factory A2 blade. The MagnaCut edge lasts at least 3 times longer than the A2 in the hard and abrasive woods that I use. I liked the first one so much I went back and bought several more. I use a diamond plate for restoring a chipped edge and Shapton GlassStones for honing and polishing. The Shaptons are slower, but they do work.
Not sure if you mean how the vise or my back is holding up? The back is eternally grateful for the vise.
