This may be in the wrong area - please move to the correct area if it is.
Just wanted to let all the carvers on the forum know that Kingsley North has the Nova minature sanding and polishing points on sale in their Spring Sale catalog. Also 100 grit diamond carving burs and 100 grit sintered carving burs.
Also the Hi-Tech Diamond Sanding discs are on sale.
All of these are assortable for better discounts.
Time for me to stock up on some of these!

This news is very exciting to me. I received the latest Kingsley catalog recently and the prices on those sintered burrs is a game changer for me. Too bad I just spent 3x Kingsley's price recently elsewhere. Mini-Novas @ Kingsley is big also... and the bulk tumbler grit packaged in flat rate bargain shipping? Forget about! Thanks for this shout out hummingbirdstones!

I just got my catalog. They also have the Whaley sliding hammer, which I want as well.
Maybe time to shop?

I was looking at the Whaley hammer, too. A maybe on that one, considering the quality of the bezel cutting shears. Eurotool makes the hammer as well, I think.

Since I picked up some fire agate, I have been considering picking up some. I am guessing the sintered group would be a good starting point and a set of the cone shape for polishing?

The sintered ones will last a good long time as compared to the electroplated ones. I'm considering picking up a set of the sintered, too and also the Nova points. I'm going to get the bullet shaped Novas in both sizes. gemfeller do you find the cylinder shaped Novas useful? |

I use the other shapes a lot more, along with mounted phenolic points that can be shaped with a file to fit most needs. Can't recall where I got them -- they were purchased long ago and were relatively inexpensive. Crystalite sells some shaped phenolics but they're around $12 each so costs mount up quickly since you need a separate one for each grit. Shop around, you my be able to find the blank ones. Mine came in 2 sizes and the one pictured is the large.  |

Thanks! I could really think of anything I would use a cylinder on, either, that I can use the smoothing discs on.

I second Dook's sentiment! The "heads up" is appreciated.
