In my recent post about artisinal toolmakers, I made an embarrassing mistake by listing the holdfasts I had made by Phil Koontz (or, intriguingly, possibly made by Phil's partner "Jake the Russian") as made by Peter Ross. Peter's work has a great reputation, and hence it was in my bookmark file. When I scanned for "P", his url popped up and it sounded correct in my haste. This is no excuse; it is merely the explanation. I do hope that anyone interested in handmade metalworks will visit the sites of both of these smiths and see what they can do for you.
I had Peter's site marked because I would love to take one of his classes about making metal name stamps at The Woodwright's School one of these days.
Deep apologies to both men for the confusion. I owe you both a few days of floor sweeping.
