Ray,
I'm sorry, if you make Daves GTG .
We are going to have to have a little chat!
About saws and saw plates and possibly a little scheme ,I'm planning.
Please keep the last bit to yourself.
We met at the back saw workshop in Melbourne a few years back now.

Hi Dave,
I'd like to be there, but I really shouldn't, If I'm not doing chisel handles, I'll be feeling guilty. I'll be there in spirit, and make sure you take plenty of pictures.

Does this mean I get my skew back?
PS is there anybody in the North Shore area of Sydney getting a set - I wouldn't mind having a look at the handlesregards

hmm thought I'd sent down the skew paring chisel - maybe not, doesn't matter in any event
Thanks
I was/am interested in the handle to see if it fits my mit, hence my question. If there's a spare on send it up otherwise don't worry, I can knock a couple up in pine and play until I'm happyregards

You'll be pleased/relieved. It's great that you stepped up when you did . It's a shame it took so long and one or two got pi$$ed off - but I think that most understand that sometimes life gets in the way.
I didn't have any ordered (I found the two years waiting for the plane irons taxing enough ).

Hi Ray,
I thought I would post some pics of the finished product and say how much I love the finished chisels. I appreciate all your efforts and those of all parties involved it getting to this point........Thank You!
To fit the handles I used a block of pine progressively drilled out to drop the handles in as a tight & vertical fit. I then mounted it in the drill press and again progressively drilled the hole for a tight fit of the chisel tang, using the tang as a scraper to smooth the drilled hole.
I used a Dremel with a milling type bit to grind out the brass for a tight fit around the tang and the jigsaw was to touch up the corners from round to a sharp edge corner.
I decided to glue my handles because of some other chisels I have that are forever coming apart depending on what season it is i.e. Summer handle shrinks and in Winter swells. I didn't want to have to think about it every time I pick up a chisel.
Hope you enjoy the photos (if they attach), again thank you!
Regards
Mick

That's a terrific job on the handles and the chisels themselves are magnificent. What is the timber?
