Sing us another one. Just like the other one. Sing us another one do.

And that's before we go into the wonderful world of user-made replacement handles... Grin!

Just found a pic of the 3/4'' Moulson sitting alongside a 3/32'' 18th century James Cam mortice chisel... it needed a guardian.

Not sure about that particular one, Jacob, because I gifted it to a remarkable lady carpenter who works on restoring historic buildings in the U.S.A (she does all of her work with handtools only. However, the following examples one by Reaney of Birmingham, and the two larger of these Ward &...

Somewhat similar to yours but with what I think of as the old style English handle - from English boxwood.

Hi, Jacob, I have a few 3/4'' mortice chisels in a tool chest that I reserve for chisels.

I had the Oxford version of the vaccine a few days ago and I've developed an insatiable appetite for banana fritters... Sigh!

Hi, John, Yes, Andy is okay... I had a telephone chat with him a short while ago... Also, got an email from him yesterday. This forum is a poorer place without his input.

Not to mention Sarah Carter's wonderful cakes... Grin!

I'll set em up and you knock em down!

I agree, but could you let me know exactly where those 'quarters' can be found... Asking for a friend. Grin!

I seem to remember someone telling me that they were used in the carriage making trade - but I rather like your idea, my friend.

Your comment about making a treadle lathe reminds me of a pal of mine by the name of Jim Hendricks... He does wild, whacky, and wonderful rather well. Incidentally, he does some marvellous posts on Unplugged Woodworkers Facebook page.

Hi, Droogs, Did those 'glow in the dark submariners' work on a nuclear powered submarine? Grin!

Hi, Eric, Your guess is as good as mine on that one.

Andy, the red light reveals all; no more stumbling around in the dark for me!

Red Light Bulbs: Does anyone else collect them? This particular light bulb came with a 22'' pair of 18th-century dividers (possibly French) and as you can see it's in immaculate condition...... for its age... Just like me!

Hi, Vono, I share your liking of tools with wooden handles - but as for your '' why does that one have a circular hole in the blade'', I can only refer you to my reply to Danny above... Perhaps to insert a bar of some kind?

Hi, Danny, I'm afraid that your question has made me realise that I have very little knowledge of the history and use of turnscrews such as these... I must try harder. Grin! I'm rather pleased that you donated your examples to the Ken Hawley collection. They couldn't have gone to a better place.
