What was the most extravagant tool on sale at Yandles?

[AndyBoyd]

LN Brushes whatever next I think I'l stick with my original DC Halls from Axminster :roll:

 

[Chris Knight]

The plane iron is rusty too!

 

[llangatwgnedd]

I think that you also find them Badged as Stanley 4" Dusting Brush :?

 

[Mirboo]

I've got a Lie-Nielsen Type 1 dusting brush. Also known as a Halls dusting brush. It is actually quite handy. I use it all the time.

Edit: I bought my brush from Lie-Nielsen. They were selling the Halls brush before they came up with the Type 2 that Philly has.

Now wait a minute -- if it's one with the white bristles, those are really for collectors only; you'll get split ends if you use it to brush out the mouth of the plane, and then it will be worthless!

Oh dear lord, no. I think I may have boobed! I too have an "original" Halls brush (although bought from the decorating section of the Axminster website for less money iirc) but I customised mine by removing the name and refinishing the handle. Have I destroyed all collector value...? :shock:

Worried in the West Country.

Alf, as a seasoned collector and restorer, I am shocked and surprised at you!

 

[Alf]

Tony, I didn't know you were a seasoned collector and restorer? :wink: :lol:

 

[Mirboo]

Could this be the dusting brush equivalent of Leonard Bailey's Victor line of bench planes?

The Delta's are Axminster's latest offering.

 

[Alf]

Panic off! I've solved the whole problem with one flash of genius:

Spot the difference.

Evidentally with too much time on her hands, Alf

Personally, I prefer the Daftasa version of this tool, although it is a bit more expensive at around £35 - the bristles are more effective for sub-1 thou shavings, and I find the Lie Nielsen and Hall's a little bit coarse for optimal high grade work.

 

[dunbarhamlin]

Fox offer a version with double extension rods. Made in Basel, Switzerland I believe. Boom Boom

 

[woodbloke]

I've just upgraded my brush, not to be out-Phillied or out-Alfed on this one :lol: - Rob

 

[AHoman]

Spot the difference.

Hehe -- the handle shape will give it away. Those Hall brush handles are much more uncomfortable than the authentic Lie-Nielsen ones. And the white bristles cause greater resistance while brushing shavings off of yer bench. All this adds up to carpal tunnel syndrome and expensive and painful operations! Better to just bite the bullet and go with the Lie-Nielsen brush from the start. Then, if fettling Hall brushes is really your thing, at least you'll have a baseline to which you can compare your results. The bottom line: the LN brushes are ready to use right out of the box.
:twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

[Good Surname or what ?]

I have BOTH the left and right hand versions of the original Hall's brush.

 

[dedee]

Does anyone know if Mr Holtey has plans for a version in kit form?

[Philly]

Ahhhh......just goes to show how much joy £11 can give. :lol:
Many thanks to all you good humoured lunatics for brushing me off my feet :roll:
Cheers
Philly
Off to see if Karl makes a better pencil........

 

[ydb1md]

It's a great brush Philly but is it avatar-worthy? Should we read something subconscious into you using it? :roll:

:lol:

Fort Bragg? You mean Fort Gloat? :lol: :lol:

I'm guessing it's either a TiteMark straight from Kevin Drake or a plane from Obi Wan Krenobi. :-k
