Hello All
Those have ordered Firmer and Paring Chisels as part of this batch order.
We need to discuss handle shapes and timber selection. I PM'ed those blokes who ordered firmer chisels, asking for their comments, this is what we have so far:

This is the design we originally proposed and what Harry R refers too.

Regarding the paring chisel we could just dome the end so it fits comfortable into the palm of the hand?
Timber Selection
If you are part of the Paring of Firmer Chisel Order and you have asked for handles below is what I have you down for. Now The Native Olive and The Qld Maple I have and I have spares of the QLD Maple. I still need to buy the W.A. She Oak from dusteater, who is selling me a set of 8 blanks for $15 plus postage. If you are down for W.A. SheOak and want to swap to QLD Maple please post as it will save me from buy extras. At the moment we need 96 handles for the firmer chisels AND 84 paring chisel handles.

Calling All Turners
Last time we had handles turned the bloke was a commercial turner and while his work was consistent and accurate his care and attention was lacking. With most of the handles needing lots of post sanding. I am considering asking if someone on forum would interested in doing the job. Someone who understand what woodworkers demand. A commercial mob would charge us $4 per handle, for 171 handles that comes to $684
. That is what we budgeted for at the moment. IF you know anyone who be interested in taking on this job for the specified sum of money, PM me with details.
Please contribute you comments as we will be starting the manufacturing of the handles asap. So this will be you last chance to contribute.
