We need about 40 - 60 of them so we can put the carving chisels into them to protect the sharp ends.

Can pay shipping Thanks  Just PM me for address
As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification.  Thank You Everyone.

It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

If y'all don't drink wine (I'm guessing you don't), check the local restaurant(s) that serve wine and ask if they could save the corks for you. Just a thought.

I've been using scraps of rigid foam insulation.  Works great!

Thanks Mike.  How firmly do they hold the blade?

They hold very well.

I make sure to put them on the tool in the same orientation each time. That way I'm not cutting a second slot in the foam.

I imagine the same rule applies to cork as well.

That's impressive.  You would need a full sheet of rigid foam to make sheaths for all those tools!
