I've had browser tabs open to a few Hemingway #machining kits for I think over a year, thinking about buying them but wondering about cost to ship metal stock overseas. A few weeks ago it hit me that I had some UK colleagues about to visit my office, and I asked if they maybe had a few pounds worth of freeboard in their suitcases.

I have some wonderfully kind colleagues, and shipping to our UK office was quite inexpensive.

I now have kits for a rotary broach, sensitive repeatable knurling tool, and clutched die holder, and I'm busy reading the detailed instructions. I'm looking forward to these projects, including the occasional mistake I'll make.
