I will start a search to find them. The ones I know and used nearby are not impressive.

Hi AJB I am now in the mindset you were few years ago. I am just trying couple of different options and will reach a conclusion when I have had use of them.

Well I enjoy wood working but travelling to shop to restore a faulty tool or spending my time struggling with not salvageable tools is not fun.

Thank you for the comment. It seems most of chisels I see need new handle fixing. I don’t touch wood turning yet. Sharpening is an amazing world of its own.

I admittedly am a novice woodworker and don’t have knowledge of hunting gems in the rubbish bin yet. I am. It skilled enough to fully restore a tool either. At present I will keep it to maintenance of tools only. One day I can be skilled enough to do all of them myself. I know a chisel with...

Just to say that they don’t forge them hot but press than on stages and then harden them by heat treating them. I just posted my short tour of Ashley Iles factory.

Dear All I have been reading about different chisels on my hunt for a new set of chisels. I know there are companies which make tools in the England. Some of them have bought up other brands and produce multiple brands under one roof. But as far as my limited research reveals one of the few...

Dear Lons I can’t stand plastic handle tools. They are not for my sweetie palms. If you look at the pictures carefully, I think you can appreciate the quality of the finish on handles and brass collars. They are miles apart. Although I would definitely always support an English firm (...

Dear ScardyCat I am not rich by any stretch of imagination and do not have a money tree in the garden either. I have no skill or knowledge of restoring old tools. It is my desperate try not to start a new hobby. As it has been said it can be a slippery sloop. On the other hand I value my...

It is a b**** brand new Rider. Excuse my bad language. I prefer a slightly heavier planes and Stanley’s are very light in my hand.

Ranting Alert (hammer) I have some Stanley no4 and 5 planes. They are well tuned and do the job well. I bought a larger plane for joining ( no 7). The first one had a twist on its sole :cry: I had to drive an hours back to the store and changed it to another one. I checked the sole there...

Thank you for the contributions . It seems we both agree on what we say but we only have different angle of view. The Marples and Stanley which survived and are on sale today were the Lie-Nielsen and Bluespruce of their time. I have noticed several times on the motorways when a small 1.2 lit...

Would you like me to take test them for you and report back? :ho2 (hammer)

Good evening everyone It looks a bit odd title in a woodworking forum but let me conclude it first. Couple of weeks ago I received a message as follows: Hey Smalmaleki, Call me nosy, but I'm just curious to why you're after the most expensive chisels on the planet? You've enquired into two...

Hi there I am coming too late to this thread and apologies if I am repeating it. I visited Ashley Iles Edge Tools recently. They make every single chisel by hand but it is different from hot forging. In fact they have some very heavy machines to build each single size and shape of chisel...

I second item one if not taken.

That’s amazing job. In last few weeks I have been searching nonstop to see a nice dovetail wardrobe. Even the old ones in the Antique shop did not have dovetail joining. You wouldn’t have the drawing for the wardrobe by any chance? Regards

Are these still available?
