Thanks Mike. I’ve been using the König finishes for a wee while and they are excellent. The waterproof paste is perfect for the inside of a Scottish quaich. You don’t want your precious malt whisky seeping away!!

I sure wish the Star drive set was available to us in the US. Thanks for showing it to us.

[@MikeWaldt]

Shipping and import costs are prohibitive currently.

Thanks Mike! I have to agree with others, would be nice to get some of Hopes items here. Thanks for sharing!
Take care, Dave

[@MikeWaldt]

Hi David I agree it is a shame, shipping etc. to the states makes things very uncompetitive unfortunately. Cheers. Mike

[@MANJITSINGH-ko2oi]

HI mike great items. thank u.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Manjit glad you agree.

It’s a shame we can’t get Hope products here in the US. I would be very interested in the Steb center set and the liquid resistant finish. Both look like great products.
Thank you, Mike, for the introduction and another reason for me to long for a trip to the UK.

[@MikeWaldt]

Hi Doug and thanks for watching. Unfortunately the shipping, taxes etc. to the US make the price very uncompetitive. Cheers. Mike

[@glencrandall7051]

I second the comments by Doug Miller. Simon Hope has some very nice products that I would buy if they were available here in the US. Thank you for sharing Mike. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks for watching Glen, as I replied to Doug, the shipping etc. makes the price too uncompetitive. Cheers. Mike.

Thank you too for watching Colin.

[@darrenreid4634]

A great idea. With the combination of the chuck and the holder with the drive dog, how much length between centres do you lose as aposed to using a no. 2 morse Steb centre?

[@MikeWaldt]

Depending on your chuck depth I would guess about 3-4 inches Darren. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Good to see ya Mike! Thanks for taking the time to produce this video. We all enjoy and appreciate your info very much. My question is on filler. Do you know if that a pigment powder that your using? I’ve been using epoxy to fill cracks and takes days to fill cracks and what a waste of time, Cheers mate!

[@MikeWaldt]

Hi Douglas, if you ask Simon directly he will answer that question for you I'm sure. Thanks for watching. Cheers. Mike
