I dig out some old photos

this is the set that I bought from Giapsen 20 years ago

when I first knock Giapsen's door

Mr Lam was very friendly and enthusiastic, he was very curious about how I know the brand, his shop and what I am using the tools for 😅

that time the brand still using the old name PB Baumann

last week I bought the same set again (from Amazon) after 20 years

the striking cap design has changed, after 20 years

old and new, 20 years apart, some minute changes but overall still the same

I know this guy ER-3682 from MCF will push me into the bottomless pit of cutting tools

got to stay away from it

I will get serious about cutting tools after I buy a bench drill

but I think that will cross my wife's threshold, that is why I kept postponing

how/where to hide this piece of furniture in the house? 😅
