"Very, very nice there, Bob! Wonderful bird cage awl. Use mine on darn near every saw for transferring bolt locations off the patterns and starting the holes. When I actually did some woodworking before Christmas (shock shock) used it for laying out the grooves and deepening the baselines for sawing."

"Package arrived today just fine. The Fatboy exceeded my expectations."
-Wray Carter, Mooringsport, LA

"The Kingwood Fatboy arrived this afternoon and Wow! It is just gorgeous! Wow! It is really something! You really do some intricate turning in a small space! Thank you very much for making this. It is a real showpiece and will be a part of many, many projects to come."

"I just love the Fatboy Bob, It feels great in my hands. I have used it a bit. It is as nice a marking knife as one could want. I like it even more now that I have used it a bit as well."
- Robert Hanson, Sacramento, CA

"Bob's awls consistently nestle comfortably in the palm. For closer work they are proportioned and balanced so that they may be held like a pencil. The taper and finish on the tool steel is consistent and shows a craftsman's attention to detail."
- Mike Tobey, Davenport, IA

"Bob, I received the knife and awl the other day. All I can say is WOW, your work is beautiful. I also didn't realize that olive wood looked and feels so nice. I'm just getting into turning and I'm sure I'll find some projects to use olive wood for them. ...Thanks for the wonderful set, it's amazing."
- John Clifford, Chicago, IL
