I need a set. I see Highland has 2 sets. One set is offered in 3 different shapes in 2 thicknesses. .016" and .024". And another set from England with 4 shapes in carbon steel .032". I will be doing a lot of refinishing. I will sand if I can get it into the shop. I want to scrape on the job for dust and hard to get at places. Will the carbon steel burnish? Will I need a special burnishing rod. What is the best choice?   Thanks        

This hurts to see. Residential property being cleared for commercial development. As if we need another Dairy Queen or Dollar General store. There are at least 8 stumps, ranging from about 36" to near 60" diameter. These trees were healthy, and larger than the one in the foreground of pic #1. I saw one in passing yesterday, split open by the excavator, revealing about 14 feet of the straightest, clearest red oak one could home for. That trunk was almost 4' in diameter. Nothing left now,but mulch. 

Here's the killer.  RTU stands for Ready to Use.  You squeeze it right out of the bottle all along the sapwood right after you cut one down.  It's really strong stuff, so you don't want to use enough to get in the ground other than on what you're trying to kill.   It's one of the few things I've ever found to kill Sweet Gums. I'm kind of surprised that it's even available on Amazon and that you don't need a license to use it. To kill nuisance saplings, I drill a couple of holes in the tree in the Fall when the sap is going down and squeeze it into the holes.  I've killed really big Sweet Gum trees with it with a bunch of holes around the trunk. https://www.amazon.com/Tordon-RTU-Herbicide-QT-Size/dp/B008QYMNU2/ref=sr_1_1?

So I looked everywhere and could not find that article but here are the plans https://www.woodsmithplans.com/plan/roll-around-work-cart/ And the pull material is 3/4" extruded aluminum drawer pull. Here is one example of many available online  https://orangealuminum.com/pad63750/ Here is this one I purchased https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07LGS2YG9?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 FWIW while searching for the above article I saw this wood venison in Vol. 31 / No. 183 of Woodsmith https://www.woodsmith.com/magazine/issue/183/

Just a quick shout out to this inexpensive and handy little bugger. I had the opportunity to turn some of the salvaged rafters from our remodel into cleats for a packing crate. I don't use this thing often but I always do when using material that I have "recovered"; dumpster or otherwise . I did find a couple of nail pieces that could have cost me a tooth on the carbide bandsaw blade. This is not the first time this little guy has paid for himself. I use it so seldom I store it with the battery out but when I need it, he's there. Thanks to a few moments of checking I pulled the fragments and made some cleat stock without issue. I think the thing was about $20 back when I bought it. It is not much more now. Certainly cheaper than having a tooth re-brazed or a band replaced
