That would be skews thanks.

Cheers

Can I make a suggestion?

Re the centre hole, maybe go 6mm for all.

This would simplify manufacture and suit anyone who had a late model Tormek gouge jig with the scraper tip shaft (which has a 4.8 mm OD screw).

I can't see that this would disadvantage the few of us with Munro scraper heads.

Enfield Guy & crow400 I have added you to the order.

I am closing this batch order for the moment.

With the pairing chisel order taking up half a sheet, and the 4.5 mm thick plane blades and the turning scraper taking up the rest. The same is true for the 6.5 mm sheet which has now been filled by firmer chisels, the turning chisels and the plane blades we are pretty much full up.

We may have some spare at the time of cutting, but we will not know this exactly until I give our numbers to the waterjet cutter. You may at that point be able to pick up spares.

am just wondering how the how all the cutting and grinding going with the order ?????

Helmut is away on holidays at the moment and with Xmas/New Year most companies close down for that period.

Wouldn't expect anything to start happening for at least a few more weeks.

understandable just that it had gone quiet before xmas

With University breaking until the 18th of February 2011, I went to visit my mother over xmas and now I am in Tasmania, working with three local decorative blacksmiths. I wanted to experience working metal in a traditional way. All the work is done by hand. They do however have a small gas forge, which is a blast furnace with open doors. Its no wonder that by the time 9 am rolls around you feel a a cold beer. It is dirty work, however I am learning allot about forging, drawing, and drifting steel. I am collecting photos and will post a huge thread once I get back.

The above combined with the fact that most companies shut between the 15th of December to the 15 January. Means nothing has been happening. As soon as the Stanley plane blade order is wrapped up around the end of February early March we will start the paring & firmer chisels, wooden plane blades & turning chisel order.

I hope everyone had a good xmas and lets all have a great 2011.

I am back in Canberra so I am getting the ball rolling.

I have sent you all a PM to confirm your order quantaties before I send the number to the waterjet cutter for nesting. Can you get back to me asap.

Once the waterjet cutter confirms the amount of space on the sheet, then I can calculate the cost.

thumbsucker,

I didn't get the PM, but the spread sheet has the correct quantities and types for me.

Thanks
