The results of testing carpentery tools

	Promised results of testing carpentery tools from smithery Sepa Talu of Peeter Reeman, Estonia:: The quality of the tools is really great! We are especially like “shaving” grinding of all blades – our carpenter tested “shaving” on their hands and leaved them without hair. In short, this is a good choice for those who need great tool for the very long term. In addition you can easily order these tools on page Materials
	Russian Analogues are rather good too. Our carpenters consciously compared these two hatchets. Of course there are some differences, but it is possible to use Russian analogue as well. This is a good inexpensive variant for those who, for example, just want to make a log house for themselves, but not use this hatchet for made to order work. You can order a hatcher and an addic from Russian factories on the page Materials
	We would like especially mention good qualities of Improved carpentry stroke with leading abut for the Norwegian felling. This is accurate analogue of stroke from smithery of Horward from Norway. The analogue is created on a Russian defense factory with the quality as in original. It is recommended for simple qualitative indexing of groove, even beginners can use it. You can order the stroke on the page Materials
