	Hi Walt:

	It took me a long time because I have a good supply of the good old stuff and seldom 
have occasion to use the new stuff.   :-)
	Dang !!! handles are getting high though. I priced one not long ago in a farm store and 
it was higher than a new tool with a comparable handle. I watch for flea markets where 
some guys sell seconds from the handle factory.
