Congragulations KNUT nice gift. Don
Nice brother you have Knut. You will like this little lathe. I agree with Paul the chisel set is well made and has held an edge well for me.
Hello guys,just got this little thing in 
Congrats on your tools addition. If possible, share your experience both at first glance and after using it. It looks like a decent 'little' tool
Mates, this what I got on my birthday. I have not realized how small they are until opened a box. These are a real gem - very precise and well made.
Hi Knut,
This is a precision vise. Usually, we use them together with milling machines. The left and right side slots allow to attach them to the micro compound (XY) table. In this setup, you can securely hold very small parts and mill\dril with very precision accuracy. Larger parts can be secured with milling clumps. They can be also used to bend 90 degrees thin material, like brass or copper. They are very-vell made in Germany!

Just found these neat little planes in the cupboard that I brought on a boot sale stall about 5yrs ago and forgot about, originally purchased for 10 pounds to use for violin making as the thumb planes are quite expensive, wolf woodworker it says on the case they came in, maker unknown, but have now come into their own as a great way of taking down planking prior to sanding! 3"1/8 of planing pleasure!
You just need to be aware of the grain direction and don't plane against it otherwise you can break bits out. I will plane the worst off very finely and then use sand paper or a good scraper. Also helps if you grade your timber planks to get them all roughly the same grain direction when fitting. I done it to save some time on the prep.
Also I received this one. It will be my “chalupe” style project number 4. Before jumping to on a big one
Hallo Hellmuth,
you bought two very good monographies - congratulations.
We all hope, that we will see one or even both in a scratch building log here in our forum.
For everybody interested we have Planset Reviews of these monographies here in our forum:

I just purchased this mini milling machine.
I'm hoping to improve my drilling work. First, I've got to determine how to mount it to my drill press, set it up and then how to use it. Oh well there is nothing like a new challenge to keep you going.
