Plane Blades and Chisels ( A progress report )

[RayG]

After an all night session by Josh, the 12mm and 9mm skews are all finished.

I'll be sending out PM's in the next few days, to confirm addresses before posting.

Left and right 12mm skews with protective coating.

Those who have both skews and paring chisels to come, I can post the skews seperately if you want?

The paring chisels will be next week ( fingers crossed ) Just let me know.

Is that parers to go with skew orders or the main, bulk lot of parers?

No, these are the 35mm wide parers. Not the sets.

I should get some chisels in the post tomorrow, currently struggling to sort out into groups of handles to match the colours..
WA Sheoak can vary from quite dark to very light.



The Tasmanian Olive are the row at the top..

Can you indicate if there has been progress on the sets then?

Yes, I did edit them, deliberately......

It's the old adage, don't post while angry. Or while slightly intoxicated.

Not a lot of difference between the two sometimes.

I got my last chisel this morning, finished work early, so I whipped up a handle and whacked it on.
Here's the proof:
(see below)
The last pics are of the first batch. I only got the 35mm this time to complete the set. The handle is made from a bit of fence post so, maybe, Redgum?
I got the long ones first time round, but the short one this time, as I think its easier to use.
the bottom 2 in those last pics are the 2 firmers from this order (I got them a month or so ago), and they are fantastic to use, as anyone who has any knows.
The polishing in this set is substantially superior to that in the first order.
Thanks Thumbsucker, Ray, Josh and anyone else who has contributed.
Those who are still waiting: Good things come to those who wait.

Edit: I haven't knocked off the end bit (from turning) yet, in case you're wondering what that bit on the end of the handle is.
