Hello again Lost Sheep,
(I say that because these posts are so irregular, you can’t be a faithful reader any more!)
Just wanted to pop my head up and say hello, that I’m not kaput just yet and I’m so busy that I really do not have enough time to get everything done that I want to (same . . . → Read More: January, almost gone already?

Hi,
I must apologize for the lack of activity here on the Tools from Japan blog. Posts were planned, but didn’t pan out. A holiday greeting was planned, but don’t get done. Many things were planned, but never happened.
The reason?
Time, or actually a severe lack of it.
Over the Christmas/New Year period, I was expecting that things would . . . → Read More: Apologies,

Hi,
Too much going on to get into too many details here, but it’s a video. Watch it if you need to, don’t if you don’t.
It’s just taken 3 days, 4 video editors, 3 video decoders, half a dozen codec tweaks, a replaced computer cpu, re-editing 8 times, numerous shutdown/start up cycles and other assorted crap . . . → Read More: Atoma diamond sheet replacement.

Hi All,
Just poking my head up here to state that I’m still alive, but have so much stuff on the go that it’s ridiculous. I can’t manage to get enough time to get everything done that I want to, even putting in days that start at 8AM and finish at 2AM.
Just silly, but such is . . . → Read More: I’m not dead…

Hello again Faithful Reader,
I apologise for the long delay between posts here, been a tad busy of late…
Anyway…
A question was asked recently about stones and how they’re made, and I said “I’ll ask and find out”. Eventually I got around to that, and today got a reply from Sigma Power as to how their ceramic stones . . . → Read More: How Sigma Power ceramic stones are nailed together…

Hi again Faithful Reader,
Quite an interesting day today.
I got the undivided attention from the president of Sigma Power corporation, Mr. Tsuyoshi Saitoh for a couple hours this afternoon.
And we talked. And talked. And talked…
Actually I did most of the talking, and I think the co-pilot was surprised/impressed. Usually I don’t say much, but today I couldn’t . . . → Read More: New cat(egory) and new(s)…

Is it ‘crisises’ or ‘cricii’? Whatever, I got them in bulk.
Oh, hi Faithful reader,
#1, Wrong saw delivered. I’m not upset here, since I gave a certain lovely fellow lots of grief with saws this week, so sending the wrong one was probably pay back for me being a pain in the rear.
#2, I’ve run Sigma Power . . . → Read More: I just had several crisises.

Hi again Faithful Reader,
Or maybe I should switch that to “Faithful Watcher”?
Instead of bashing in lots and lots of words, I hastily put together a couple of short videos explaining what is in the Sigma Power ceramic #1000, #6000, #13000 and Atoma #400 sharpening stone set.

Hello again Faithful Reader…
The response the original carrot (in the form of a full set) has been good, and those of you who’ve jumped on it as I requested should be receiving your “order is on it’s way!” emails over the next few days.
But, even from the beginning, I knew that the original 1000-6000-13000 is a . . . → Read More: Carrot, Part II…

Hello again Faithful Reader,
I mentioned a carrot in my last posting here, and if you pop into the store and take a look, you’ll see it sitting there, bold as brass, on the front page under ‘new items’.
The pointy orange root vegetable looks interestingly like an Atoma #400 diamond plate…
Did I say the carrot would be . . . → Read More: Carrot anyone?
