The Record in the pictures is sold but I've just found another. Details later. Cheers Andy

I'm wondering if you might be able to help me please ? I'm tying to track down pictures of the head on an Atkinson Brothers, ebony, framed brace, with unusual hollow brass handle. There is reference on page 148 in Reg Eatons book The Ultimate Brace. The example pictured by Reg is attributed to...

I'm getting on alright at the moment with my first pair of "Redback" dealer boots. First pair of boots that fitted without breaking in.... Cheers Andy

No, what I was saying is that lidl were doing the penny pinching.... It seems I may want a better option now, which do you find is best? Cheers Andy

Interested to know which pull saw you have and how you sharpen it to make it last a lifetime or are you on about something else? Cheers Andy

I find the blade doesn't push very easily and wants to stick. It does look like they have put a coating on the blades this time. The shape of the new handles bug me and I was thinking of just using my old ones but they've changed the bayonet fitting. I'll have a try of the others and if no good...

Once again Lidl have been penny pinching and changed the manufacturing of summat. Those little saws were the best I'd ever used and now I find them unusable.... Is it just me? Cheers, perplexed Andy

How wide are the walls of the box section? Perhaps this method will cause it to deform? Can you get inside the section ends? Sometimes the square on these modern coachbolts are not so crisp at the corner. Apart from a file to file it perhaps a biggish file with the handle removed the square...

I've tried copying the live zoom link but failed, it's the same every week Cheers Andy

52-1/2 E 13-1/2 open x 9wide x 4deep A good usable vice. This is in a clean unrestored condition with a tested positive clamping action throughout its opening range and sufficient jaw pinch. Many many years of life still in it. I'm probably being picky but here's what I want you to know...

A Shell Auger, nose auger, pod auger, split nose auger (all the same thing) with lipped cutting edge should help here to pull in as you turn and cut. Cheers Andy

Cheers Tom, yes as you say the condition was better than most. If you (or anyone else) fancied a 52-1/2 or 53 for an extra £20 let me know.... Cheers Andy

That reminds me Adrian, text incoming..... What sort of stuff do you do Brill ? Cheers Andy

For this vice No52E Opening between jaws (unlined) 8-3/8" Width of jaw 7" Depth of jaw 3" Cheers Andy

No52E cleaned and working positively. . The "pinch" is very good and no "camming out" under pressure. Bit of paint and top of jaw marks. Small mark on one bar which does not detract from use. This vice has many lifetimes of work left in it. £75. Pick up, meet part way from M69 Cheers Andy

OK Nick, just seen you are in Nocton, did you happen to pop into the National Ploughing Championships the other year? If you did we may have crossed paths as i put on a tool display there.... Cheers Andy
