wondering about dolan tool manufacturing

Alex Solla on tue 14 aug 07


After making a slew of calls yesterday, I am somewhat frustrated to find
that no one really knows what's up with Dolan Tools. Does
anyone out there in the Clayart world have any better clue? No of my usual
suppliers seem to have been able to get tools from them since late winter.
Hmm.
As much as I love Phil's Bison tools, I use primarily Dolan tools
due to the wetness I like to trim at. Now I cant get my favorite tools!

Any suggestions or clues from anyone in the know??

Thanks,
Alex Solla

I heard that after the death of the guiding light at Dolan, the tools really
went down hill. Ends came unglued etc. And now they are out of business.
Finding a replacement is not going to be easy.

Oh! I am so sorry to hear this. I love Bison tools too, but Dolan was
definitely my preferred second choice. Now I'll have to start treating
the Dolan tools that I have left with the same respect I show Phil's tools!
