Give them a ring. I have just taken a delivery of some of their goods and at the time of order I requested a new catalogue. I was informed they were currently out of print and were awaiting a new one to be printed.
I was promised delivery when the new one arrived so let us know if they send you one out. It will be a good indication on how they look after existing customers.

I also gave them a call recently and apologised for ordering from the "old" catalogue (I think it's 2004??)
Old Boy sheepishly admits that it is their CURRENT one...... :roll:
Supposedly the new one is due soon.
I do wish they would attempt a website-they have so much tasty stuff, hidden away. I recently bought a ralston chair shave (very similar to Alf's homebuilt one) never seen it mentioned in the catalogue or bullet-ins.
Cheers
Philly :D
 
Hi all
I have been going to Tilgear for years and they look after they customers but can be slow at getting new catalogues printed ( the one before this was being used for about 6 years :shock: ).
I used top go there at lest once a month with friends from work, the friday rush was fun ( we finished at 3.30pm and they closed at 5pm, but as long as you where in the door before that, they would not kick you out :) )

The move must be taking it's toll, Philly; no picture, no gloat?! :shock:

Cheers, Alf
 
It's my new-found maturity......... :roll: :lol:
Decent pics and a review to follow-here's a hint of it in the centre of this pic.

It is such a handy little thing-I've been using it instead of a block plane for cleaning up.
Cheers
Philly :D
P.s.-Take a look here for the current "state" of play :wink:

Funny what turns up behind the bookshelves when you're packing up, eh? :wink: :lol: Nothing like a tidy workshop either, and (all together now) "that's nothing like a tidy workshop" :lol: Commiserations though; what a 'mare. :(

Cheers, Alf
 
Philly whats the Leigh 1600D doing underneath the bench? I thought that you were a Rat Man, or is it simple the best of both worlds?

Cheers

I recieved a nice new, bang up to date TILGEAR catalogue, yesterday.

Is this gloatworthy?

Considering replacing my float glass flattening plate with a small granite surface plate, as these are so relatively affordable.

I always advise students to check L-N prices with Tilgear, as they are often significantly more reasonable......this has also applied to many other useful items. Wet & dry, Good quality Japanese steel rulers, Stanley no. 80, simple tunable marking gauges, etc. etc. There are many other hard to find items there, as well.

Oooo, I think you have to feel immediately compelled to place an order for maximum gloatage. :D

It's a miracle! Does your toast land marmalade side up too?
Never lend it to anyone - I did, never got it back, and I've been waiting 6 months for a new one. They do some excellent prices and offers - I just wish I could find out what they have in now....

Well you might know soon as I will be going there soon, to get a new catalogue and see what I need too :)

And so useful for "proper" flattening of planes :lol:

And (bizarrely) cheaper than a straight edge of comparable length and accuracy.

The Tilgear catalogue arrived this morning so I imagine most people on their mailing list should have one by now.
 
A copy has even made it's way down to Cornwall, so evidently the London postal "service" has struck again, Colin. :(

Cheers, Alf
