I have done the first four of the items on Tuesday’s list of things to do after last weekend with colgaffneyis. Derusting the tools was not hard. Steel wool and oil sufficed for everything except the drawknife. A wire brush in an electric drill took care of that. Finishing the froe club was easy when I could hold it in the leg vise on my work bench and use one of the big drawknives I have here.

I still have to finish the Gaelic notes. Since Sunday I have found out something more about colgaffneyis war cry, “faugh a ballagh“, which to include. It solves a small mystery.
