Bridge City Tools Chopstick Master V2

[fletty]

Are you seriously going to turn that entire billet of wenge into choppies?

Nah, not the WHOLE billet, that would be silly, just the straight grained half !

I'll be checking tomorrow, but I remember it as being all straight grained....

You’d better be quick then

Fletty now needs to buy the saw so myself and FF can work out if it is worth the dollars or not.

I bought the Harvey Industries “made under licence” one and have not regretted it for a second.

I already use chopsticks as pegs in my wood working, I use the tapered drills out of cheap countersink sets and the various sections of the chopsticks correspond to the different size drills. you can buy cheap chopsticks in not only bamboo but wenge and oak on eBay. I can not be critical of this bridge city tool purchase as I bought one of the tapered Japanese drills for their pegs at a cost of Au$43.00. I still feel guilty when I use it.

Do you have a link?

BUUGGER, there goes the competitive element of my GLOBAL marketing plan !

The wenge ones look very classy - you'll be the envy of all the other patrons in your local asian food eatery (I presume the term "chinky" isn't sufficiently PC these days...?).

Share prices of large chopstick making companies worldwide have plummeted since fletty arrived on the scene........

"Bridge City Tools" and "guilt" tend to go hand in hand. It's the nature of the beast.

Just having the Bridge City name confirms that

Is there a Festool version?

Think outside the square... Bamboo, Wenge, Oak... yes, they're on E-Bay. And they're all NON-AUSTRALIAN timbers.

Blackbutt, Ironwood, Spotted Gum... make some chopsticks from those timbers. Ding up a fancy looking website that uses the term "bespoke chopsticks" and other such terms liberally.

Pretty unique product IMO

Good call MM, the cheque’s in the mail! I’ve just come in from the Studio ( uhhhm shed) having finished a new pair of chopsticks which will be the flagship product of my new strategy for global chopstick dominance!
An iconic Australian timber which, when finished with my secret poultice, looks like ivory! Oh I’m going to have trouble sleeping tonight......

But midnight man, I did not think chop sticks were allowed to put splinters in your mouth , lips or tongue. Each time I work with any of those woods I end up with lots of splinters. All the best.

Spotty will be ok for them.

I was there when the secret poultice was applied to a ****** Pine prototype. The product was the goods!

Now I happen to know that Bushmiller has gawd knows how many cubes of Spotty, and we may see him sooner than we think....



I wonder how many choppies can fit into a 20' container??? S'bout time we sent a full one back to China, don't you think? (And no, don't even THINK about the economies of a 40' container!).
