HAROLD & SAXON CHISELS - a brand new range

30% Discount on the new bench chisel range.....$66.50 each

H&S (Trent Powrie) has just launched a new range of less expensive bevelled bench chisels. They still have the same HSS M2 Cryo trested steel as the Ultimax range, but the handles are slightly different in that they have a top ferrule.

This picture is not of the actual chisel, but is representative


I should have a picture of the real deal in about three weeks.

They will available in sizes 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", 1" and 1 1/4" and will have Myall timber handles with a brass top ferrule. Myall is almost identical to Gidgee and Trent tells me that if you weren't told it was Myall then you would think it was Gidgee. Myall is a little more appropriate for a chisel handle.

These chisels will be going on his website for $95 each, and the Ultimax are $130 each so our price of $66.50 is HALF PRICE for what is essentially the same chisel as the Ultimax. Beat that if you can!

No discount for sets, as the prices are already set prices.

6 POCKET LEATHER CHISEL ROLLS $45.50 (normally $65 - pic to come)

Depending upon demand, Trent may extend his offer to some other chisels in his range, such as the mortice Chisels, so register your interest in this thread.

IMPORTANT:
The lead time on production of these chisels will be vastly improved, because they will (hopefully) have a nice long run to work on, so that they can get stuck into it. One of the major difficulties that they have had has been chopping and changing the production runs to cope with small orders.

There will be some more items added to this, but at the moment we have:

THE NEW ALUMINIUM VISE $495

The web price for this new vise is $550. I love the slightly retro look of this vise, and Michael states that it runs as smooth as silk. More details can be found here.








ALUMINIUM STRAIGHTEDGES 10% discount

300mm $58.50
450mm $67.50
600mm $81.00
750mm $99.00

Details here.

Shooting & Mitre Boards, Mallets, and Workbench kits will be added next week.

Details of the Vesper Tools offer will be posted next week, after some finalisation has been done (Chris is at the Handtools event in Melbourne this week).

Details of Colen's offer will be posted next week, after some finalisation has been done (he has been on holidays until this weekend).

Put me down for at least 4 Harold and Saxon Chisels and a tool roll. (Just need to convince my wife to let me get all seven sizes now).

I'm interested in getting some bevel edge chisels from Trent and also interested in mortice chisels (depending on price).

I'm also interested in some of Trent's chisels

HSS M2 PLANE FLOATS $67.50 (either size, and without handle)

These are a non-stock item that Terry Gordon has agreed to make for us as a special run. They are the same floats as he uses himself, and because of the hardness of the timber required for planes they have to be HSS for any kind of durability. This means that when it finally comes to sharpening the floats you will need a Diamond File. Terry states that he gets a minimum of 250 plane beds before they need resharpening, and that is a simple process done with a triangular Diamond file.

I have a supply of European Beech handles (from Liogier) that can be fitted unless you wish to make your own handle.

The minimum combined order is 10 Floats of either size.



The larger (at rear) is 9.5mm tapering down to 5mm and has 5.5 TPI and the usable blade is 76mm long.
The smaller one is 6.35mm tapering down to 2.5mm has 6.5 TPI and the usable blade is 63mm long.

It looks to me like a good deal of Gordon sweat has gone into that patina!

Interested in the plane floats. Put me down for 1 of each


Screwing up in new ways every day

Hmmm very interesting GB Brett. When would you like the orders in by? (sorry if I've missed it, but you've posted a lot of info!)

For those thinking of participating in this GB but not sure...I've participated in a couple of Brett's GB's now with no issues.

Thanks John. Not sure about a cut off date and they'll probably be different for the various suppliers, because of different lead times and so on. Pretty much play it by ear I think.
