Trent's work
I guess the pic says it all. These are very big chisels all of which are 350mm long.Whats not very clear in the pic is the blade depth which is 17mm thick.

Use them in good health.

Great looking chisels Sinjin. I am sure you'll have much pleasure using them. H&S chisels are the "Rolls Royce" as far as chisels are concerned.
I do wish Trent will spend some time updating his website. I know he's extremely busy fulfilling his orders and attending shows at the same time.
But once you decide to have a presence on the web, it would be a disservice to visitors and potential customers to leave it obsolete. I have the 2009 Australian Toolmaker catalogue, so I can see his new products. But the same cannot be said for many others, I am sure. I apologise for veering from this thread's subject.
Cheers

chisels
The chisels are very impressive and huge. Well he made what i asked for and I'm more than happy with them. I actually met Trent outside a MacDonlads store on my way back down from QLD. I also met Des K from the Japanese woodworking area. Anyone who has seen pics of Des's Shoji screen pics will know he is very talented, and very informed about tools, woodwork and Japanese culture and when i looked at his work it was just spot on!

I hate you! (read: I'm still waiting for mine)
They look awesome mate. Are these the one's that were on show in Melbourne last year?"Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so."

I asked Trent via email a few days ago what his wait time was at the moment, he responded saying that it would be about six week, and he doing a double run to catch up with orders.

I was allowed to touch one of Sinjin's chisels when we met up in the Gold Coast, and they are certainly hefty and beautifully made tools. Almost too good to use (emphasis on almost).
It was good to meet you and talk things woodworking, but I realised after that I failed miserably in my hosting duties, and we never had that cup of coffee . A thousand sumimasens, and next time I won't be so remiss.
Regards
Des

Yes, I agree that 6-8 weeks sounds a bit optimistic, Trent is a bit funny with time frames, but for that kind of work, who cares really. Mine were so worth the wait. Just beautiful. They're a handful, but brilliantly balanced and crafted. Enjoy using those ones Singin.
