New Tools!

Hey everybody, just thought I'd show off my new tools set. Thanks again (and again) Irene. Also I should give thanks to Ron Martin, as Mah made it a point to mention that this tool set was given in memory of one of our great friends, and a good man, thank you Ron, now I think of you each time I use them.

Ron's generous heart is worthy of remembering.

Nice tools, Zen. Use them well.

Thanks Joanie, and I for one will NEVER forget Ron Martin,...even w/out Irene's kind gesture. We had many great discussions in chat, and I (as well as many others here, I'm sure) learned a lot from him, as he was never stingy with his knowledge.
You can almost measure a man's worth by the number of people that learn something form him, by that measure, Ron was one of the greatest men I have had the good fortune to know.

Thanks Todd, I needed them. :-)
I have been thinking about making a list of all the other tools that I need that I should be collecting. Something to kind of keep me on track. Are there any really "weird" tools, that you guys can think of that I might overlook, you know things that you won't find on any bonsai supply site?

Hemostats are good for picking out small weeds from crevices, etc. A dental pick is also useful at times, and can be found at some hardware stores.

The Sandflex Tool Cleaning Block, available in different grades, is great for cleaning tools.
