Thread: Harold & Saxon chisel orders

I'm still waiting for mine but I'm not worried as I know fencefurniture is on the job and it's just a matter of time. Anyhow, sometimes you have to wait for the best.

G'day Johnno

His health is much improved and he has moved into a shed that has 3 phase power in Brisbane (which means he can run more than one surface grinder).

Sets for the bulk order are now trickling out (there are 28 sets of 7 to finish), with two sets delivered so far and two more about to go out. Alas, one of them is not for Superbunny .


I learnt *quite some time ago* that Trent is rather optimistic with his time-frames (even when it gets really close, like within a few months).

Actually, I knew that all along.

Where the photos of the finished ones for us who can't have the real thing to drool over??

Like all good things, worth waiting for.

I'm not waiting on H&S Chisels, just other peoples photos.

I think some people may have ordered the "New Cabinet Range – Coming Soon"

There is no proper photo up of these only a indicative styling shot

Fineboxes took some photos just before Christmas

P'raps you're new to that site Dale......they've been coming soon for, ah, 'bout 3-4 years now.....

That's how they are listed on the website.

Yeah I know mate...for the last 3-4 years....

Don't think the site has been updated for 2-3 years. The mobile number and address are about 12-18 months out of date - he's in Brisbane now.

Nice photo's of some of Trent's really fine work,likely one like those sets will be mine hopefully soon.
They were ordered in 2011.
These will compliment the other set I have of his,he does produce a fine keen tool such a rarity in this day & age in Australia for hand tools.

Cheers

I picked up an unused set of 7 H & S beveled edge chisels in a nice leather roll (even came with a cleaning cloth) on eBay a couple of years ago, some months after the group buy (I was overseas when the group buy came on and missed it). Very nice chisels; I was surprised that I was the only bidder, and starting at well under 1/2 new price. Looking at the current product range, the only difference seems to be that on mine the larger sizes have hoops on the handles.

Cheers

It took me a long time to save up for a set of H&S, and I've NEVER heard anything other than good things about Trent. Yes, I paid a hefty deposit, and yes it would hurt if he didn't produce the goods, but I have absolutely no cause for concern. Really, considering how good the chisels appear to be, I don't care how long it takes...

By the way, the tipping point for ordering a set was actually handling some of his chisels. Pictures only go so farrrrr....

Like most in the group buy, I'm waiting for my set too. Trent has had so many things hinder his tool production. He is a great fellow and will make good. His tools are worth the wait....
I've even got another order for some more chisels that he'll start some time after the group buys sets are done and dusted. I have a few of his tools already so I know they are worth waiting for.
