    Very timely Greg. You wouldn't read about it - for the first time ever I sanded back my Cyclone mattock handle (also Spotty), gave it 3-4 licks of Linseed oil - looked and felt great. Two weeks later I cracked it levering out a root. It's still working, but......

    Now all I have to do is figure out who will be near Windsor soon.

    It might be you if you are interested in old machines. We are currently running 3 Defiance lathes dating from the turn of the 19th century and a pre 1924 Robinson copy lathe. All these machines are in daily use and are bloody marvellous.

    Unfortunately our price list relates to quantity wholesale clients. prices for small quantity buyers are open to negotiation. things to be considered may be how pretty or ugly you are, normally only very ugly people want to buy from us. Seriously though we are happy to sell small quantities. I have a son who just happens to drive to Melbourne every week. What are you after ?

    I don't need anything at the moment, however I could be up for a new axe handle and smaller chisel/spokeshave type handles in the not too distant future. Hence the enquiry...

    We make axe 600 to 800,hatchet,hammers various,engineers 250 by 50 increments to 500, sledges 600 to 1050, blockbusters 800 & 900, picks, mattocks, shovels long & short,hoe long & short, asstd miners, adze , fernhook & rakho to name a few. not chisel or file at the moment (no market for quality in these products as cheap imports rule here )
    I have no hesitation in saying that the handles we make are the finest available anywhere. They are manufactured to the relevant Aust standard, unlike any imported product, and sadly some that are made here. ! ? ! ?

    I agree, we need photos.
    Welcome to the forum Greg.
    If we happened to be going through Windsor could we have a sticky beak inside the factory? (Willing to take photos and post to forum )
    Those were the droids I was looking for.

    Yes, a website would be convenient.
    Something like;
    A. Mansukhlal & Co. - Striking Tools Handles
    Replacement Handles - Vaughan Manufacturing
    Striking tool hickory wood replacement handles; axe handle, hammer handle

    Would love to see an Aussie equivalent.

    Sounds as though as though people over 6' or those of us who are unattractive could be seriously disadvantaged .

    Could we have found a worthy successor to Hely Bros? Welcome to the Forums.

    Sorry Gents
    This thread is useless!!!!!!
    I need photos of the machines, a description of use and photos of the end products, please.
    Of interest for WA people, the Darnenup Heritage centre has an axe handle copy lathe, which they hardly use. Gee I was tempted to purchase it. I have a disease, I find, purchase or am given axe heads, and I must fit a handle to them, and subsequently, have too many and must give them away to worthy recipients.

    Greg, please put some piccys up, or may I suggest that you start a new thread dedicated to what you do, who knows, hopefully you will get some new business. Unfortunately, you are in the foul and most foreign East, you use stinky Easterner weeds for timber, therefore, I will not be purchasing from you
    Sincerely
    Willy

    Hi NCArcher,
    Absolutely no problem with that,however not always there. Best to check prior to the anticipated visit to avoid disappointment.. Initial contact to email would probably be best.

    If you are interested I posted this with the help of one of my sons.

    Hi Bushmiller, I speak with Michael Hely from time to time, in fact some of the machines we are running came from Hely Bros.
