Looks like you've bought one of Hughie's creations

It wouldn't surprise me a little bit, indeed, I had a gut feeling that could be the case when I saw the pics on eBay, as I remember to have seen pics from Hughie, taken with other tools on that same deck floor.
Is only on thing to do, is ask Hughie to confirm this...!

I mention on one of me reply, from the eBay purchase that I make some of my tools, and I mention that I would put some pics together to him to see, well is this case, I will wait until Hughie's confirmation, so that I don't have to send the pics, as if is him, he already know about them, huh?

So, Hughie...?

Cheers

It's Hughie's, he agreed somewhere else that it was his ebay name
nice handle - I made mine a tad short - but that's easy fixed

, he already know about them, huh?

You got me there, guilty as charged.
In the new year I will be looking at 10mm tips with same shaft size and probably 12mm tips on a 25mm shaft most likely longer, say around 12-15" in length

I used my Oland on NYE to hollow out some boxes after drilling them out. Talk about easy to use, for that and a thousand other uses. So now the little "Hughie" Oland is the go to tool and cannot wait to try out the "Big Mother Hughie"

(I have started weight training for that one)

You can put me down for one of them too, if you'll be making a production run of 'em!

Late with this, but yes, Gil, yer right. It's 5% Cobalt... (Using another tool that Hughie manufactured for me had me thinking about carbide).
