dimensions to be as you stated: 8 1/2 x 10 1/2 inches.  Graham is still
talking about the first exchange.

This has to do with tools.  Dave, I want to buy a chisel and
hammer.  I saw that the smallest size (in McClain's)
is up in the $90 range.  Are they all this expensive?  If you 
were to buy one to use for woodblock prints, say no larger
than 8 l/2 by 11, what size chisel would be the most practical?
Since I can afford only one for now, it has to be the best size.

Thanks,
Gayle

Yes they are expensive and worth every cent.
The tool I use to clean out the large areas is a shallow U-gouge
15mm Asagata maru nomi (Asamarunomi- according to Noboru Sawai)

I have another size  9mm which I find equally useful
For your smaller size plates this is the one that would be quite suitable.

The McClain's I have shows it at 66.35
The price here is 76.00 can$  about $50.00 us$
These I will have here at the workshop thanks to Noboru Sawai.

I am working on the material list for the workshop, and will have it this week.

the japanese papers offered in the daniel smith catalogue are significantly cheaper
than the ones in the maclain's catalogue.  however, you could probably still find
cheaper.  daniel smith has an 800 number that you can request a catalogue on, their
customer service is outstanding.

The Japan Woodworker has bullnose chisels at about half the price of
McClain's. I've not seen them in person, and cannot judge the quality,
but they sound good in description. Their price on mallets is also much
lower. I think they are listed in the supplies section of the
Encyclopedia.

Subject: [Baren 3966] Final Entry 

Herry, great to see your woodblocks. Very nice! I was wondering about your
address, I thought perhaps you were in Soho, New York City! I guess not!

I got home today to find a nice surprise, Gayle's delightful print in my
mailbox. 30 more lucky participants in the first exchange are in for a
treat, too. And of course, we will all see it on the net when Dave has time
to add it in! Thank you all! (I won't say what it is, but it's very funny!)
