Hi Paul,

Timber for the handles is She Oak, they were part & parcel with the whole deal and thanks for the appreciation but my bit was only small.
These are heirloom chisels that will be...

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...

Hi Ray,
Thanks for the offer re the handles but I'm all set up to do them when they arrive so there is no need to fit my chisel handles, that's a job I'm looking forward to doing.
How did you go...

There is always the 250 or 300mm wide scraper blades (1.x mm x 150 mm) that are used by concreters to scrape back concrete floors. They attach to broom handles and are hardened blue steel which...

That's great news Ray, do you want us to pm confirmation of our address's?

Mick

Hey Ray!
I keep looking in the letter box but I can't see any parcel of goodies? Im sure you haven't forgotten about me so maybe you lost my address?
Should I send it again????
All the best, ...

Has anyone had experience with the Oltre Panel Saw MJ12-1600 that they would care to comment on the quality of the machine compared to the Carbatec version.
They look like they are from the same...

Hi Ray,

thought id drop in to say hi and get the thread back on the first page again.

How are you traveling with the acid job you were doing?

With regard to the postage of the partial/all...

Hi Guy & Ray,

i would be interested in getting the partial set also and if it's only the small chisel left to finish, i reckon I could do that myself with a bit of elbow grease.
I'm sure you...

Hi Ray,
just thought I'd say hello to get the thread back on the 1st page:rolleyes:

Hi Tim,
I also would be interested in how L/Amber dries as I've just finished slabbing a relatively small tree and sticked it out 2 weeks ago. I've noticed that in that time the first waste cut...

I'm with Bevan, it no matter the size, just use a bigger or smaller chisel depending on the job.

Good work Ray, I'm looking forward to seeing these chisels.

regards
Mick

Hi Ray,
I was wondering how you were traveling with the chisels and the journey we have all been on to get to we're we are? It has been taking a while to get there and while I'm not totally aware...

Oops! Sorry I must have bumped a button.......... It's definitely getting cooler don't you think? :D
Mick

Bump, push, shove Hic! Merry Christmas everyone! Have a good Christmas and enjoy.......

Mick

I'm excited, but just to clarify so I don't plunge into depression if I've got it wrong. I've ordered a complete set of both firmer and parer's, so please tell me that my firmer's will be posted out...

I feel like I'm in a grand experiment to see how long you can keep like minded people placated with platitudes before they crack and start getting petulant!
Two months ago the Firmer chisels where...

Hi,

Any chance of an update and photos of progress, I'm way away from the workshop and need something to drool over to pretend I can still smell the sawdust.

I think I may have missed something :B........ Am I correct in assuming the Paring chisels are finished and just waiting for the handles and Firmer's to be finished so they can all be posted...

Hi Thumbsucker,

my preference is as with others, 31mm is comfortable for me and I would prefer the heavier ferrule at 1.6mm.

Regards
Mick

Hi Thumbsucker,

Just picking up on the question of the firmer chisel ferrule material, personally I would like the ferrule to be consistent with the sockets which from memory was agreed to be...

Hi Helmut,

Im more than happy to pay the extra cost per chisel that has been mentioned to keep things moving along. So let us know what is required and the account details and I will transfer the...

Hi Gavin,

If I'm not dragged away by work I would love to attend. I have my own PPE so that's not a problem.

Mick

This is some learning that I look forward to, but as your the source of this gratefully accepted knowledge a date and time of your choosing would be fine with me...... subject to the vagaries of the...

Hi Bob,

Ive just acquired one of the Westfords at the show and recently purchased a 2nd hand 660 and while not wanting to gatecrash, I would love to soak up some of your knowledge if you wanted to...

Looks like it would come up a treat with the handle shape and polish, I would be very happy with this as handles on my paring chisels.

If RayG has the technical capacity and can supply the same quality finish then I would be very happy to support his offer.
Regards, Mick

Thumbsucker,

A couple of questions for you if you would be so kind.
How are you going filling the M2 sheets?
What would you anticipate as the time frame for these chisels?
When do want us to...

Well the saw has returned and is running well...looks as good as new with that new electrical smell when running.

Many thanks to those that took the time to read and or comment on my little...

Hi Crowie,
Just got back from a trip down south (Denmark) sorry for the lack of response. The reason they didn't just supply a new motor assembly is that they don't actually have one, they only...

Thanks Crowie,
They indicated that they will replace all elements that the service agents told me was required i.e. armature/stator, field coils and a new bearing. I'll organise for Industrial...

Had a chat with Bosch today regarding my saw and they have indicated that they are proposing to supply all the parts required to repair the motor and I can either put it together myself or organise...

One week down and no response from Bosch regarding my letter, however they probably only meet once a month to consider supporting their reputation for quality tools!
In the mean time is there anyone...

Option1 for me. Thanks

Thanks for the support guys!......do you mean that wood workers who buy tools read these comments and requests for help, well I'll be B..lowed (see Moderator i've learnt) I never would have thought...

Thanks for you comments as they are my thoughts as well, the initial rejection was by the WA service agents in conjuction with a Bosch agent they have somewhere here in Perth.

Have had a small problem with my 15 month old bosch table saw ..... the commutator started to seperate from the base and caused quite a light show with some very sick sounds from the motor. It...

I'm currently suffering the same problem as Garth and not feeling quite so benevolent towards Bosch. I also have the GTS10 Table Saw and just 14 months on with relatively little work some elements...

Hi Thumbsucker, How did the 12 sample blades go after sharpening? Where you happy with them?
Regards Mick

Helmut, I would be interested in a set of the firmer chisels with the brass socket similar to the paring chisels I have ordered. Add me to the list, this would make for a very nice set of working...

Helmut, How are we travelling in terms of the number of chisels (sets) left to find a new home? When do you need us to start transferring some dollars and to where should we send them?
Regards Mick

Hi Thumbsucker,
Can I increase/change my order to the following -
Option 1(the complete set at 150mm),
Option 5 (the big chisel) and
Option 6 (the 2 skew chisels) all with the Blackwood...

Hi Thumbsucker, It would appear that I may have missread option 4 in that it states they are a half set at 225mm not 150mm .... or can you get the larger size half set in 150mm?
Regards Mick

Thumbsucker, Can I relieve you of Options 4 & 6 - 150mm with blackwood handles if there are sufficient left?
Mick

Oops! obviously you can't say that word...sorry!:-
Mick

Ahh! .... Muchos Grassy #### Senore Thumsucker! A pleasant surprise is always appreciated!

Hey Thumsucker, I'll take one of the spokeshave blades if you still have one needing a home. What price?
