In 1990 at the conference at RPI, I purchased two chisels and the small slick from Barr, these tools have been absolutely excellent. I believe that it is necessary to have knee high saw horses to provide push from the pelvis since the small slick is low mass with a high degree of crank or offset, operation is more articulate than older heavy bladed slicks. Since then I have purchased drawknives, gouges, scorps and adzes from Barr, all the tools are great useable tools.
