Could we have an update please.

Thanks for the reminder. Ok, I'll clear some bench space tomorrow and see what I can organize.

Bump... Just an update, current plan is to have remaining chisels posted next week.

As before, I will send a PM requesting confirmation of order details and address before I post.

Ray,

Since there has been no statement to the contrary, am I correct in assuming that the paring chisels are now all posted?

Regards,
Guy

Not yet. you will receive a PM with details when I post them, your two sets will have to be two separate parcels because of weight limitations.

Ray

Well, I didn't quite succeed in finishing everything as planned, but eventually managed to make a dent in the job and some good progress. I got a few more sets posted.

That's a full set of 8 plus the 35mm and a pair of left right 9mm skews with sheoak handles.

The middle sizes have a nice balanced feel, but my favourite is still the skews.

There won't be much progress in the next few weeks, as I'm working overseas, but everything is now set up to finish the batch when I return.

Ray

Beautiful chisels Ray. Too bad there won't be any more.

Ray

That set looks superb.

Regards
Paul

I have tool lust.

I love your work Ray.

Rob, considering the crap that Ray has had to put up with since he started this project, its little wonder he wont be making any more.

Excellent work Ray.

Stewie;

I've been watching this thread and have seen some pretty nasty things posted. Unfortunate that the childish minority tarnishes the fun for everyone. I get similar so I've decided to stop building to request as well.

That's an impressive looking set of chisels Ray, well done.

Don't let the critics get you down, hang in there and stick with what you like doing, I've seen some very innovative things from you over the last year or so, the reason I'm not doing another batch is more personal, it's just too much hassle. I could write a book about this particular project, but I won't, it's not a commercial project, it's a labour of love, and, I'd prefer to let the results speak for themselves. These chisels will hopefully last for generations into the future, the hassles and delays along the way will be long forgotten.

As far as tool making goes, I have plans for some saws, I'd like to make a few thin plate tenon saws.

Ray

is there any chance to get my chisel before you head os?
