Thanks John...just off to the bootfair now and will have something else to look out for other than chisels...I can't believe I am about to ski a "wallet slope"!!! :mrgreen:
Jack...thanks mate...post some pictures of your restoration...it all helps encourage others to recycle!
Setch...this is especially true when the tools are heirloom pieces passed down from a loved one...well worth restoring on all sorts of levels. Please post some pictures if you can...as you can see this helps diagnose what action to take. I replace and restore quite a few handles...and you have a number of ways to go. What I didn't show on that WARD for instance is this (posted ages ago):
...some rather ancient and risqué graffiti! Wonderfully primitive isn't it?
Unfortunately the other side needs a bit of a repair.....
I may just leave it...but will have a think this morning and if I decide to go ahead with a graft...I will photograph the stages for you to decide what you want to do.
By the way...Meluish was a supplier and toolmonger....the full catalogue is here:
CLICK AND BE PATIENT!
You will be needing 386W Page 32..... 8)
See you after the bootfair!
