    Default The Chisel

    Issatree
    In Kennith Rogers book Some 19th Century English Woodworking Tools, there was a Henry Holmes who operated in Sheffield from 1871 to 1900. He is listed in the 19th Century Brace and Bit Manufacturers on page 473.
    I've never seen a H Holmes chisel in my travels, but you seem to have the midas touch with your collecting. Well done

    Default That Chisel.

    Hi SB,
    Yes, I've been through all that you mentioned, but there is still nothing there.
    Thanks for the reply, so when I can work out this Photo Business I will put the photo of them both Cleaned Up.
    That Photo of them Chisels, cannot be Enlarged, do you know why.
    I put another Photo of my Drop Spindle in W/Turning & it came out perfect.
    Regards,
    issatree.
