Bodger's bits and other greenwood stuff.
I've been doing green woodcraft for nigh on forty years and enjoyed every minute of it.
However, now that arthritis has set in in both knees, and my hips are starting to ache something terrible in cold weather, I have decided it's time to retire that aspect of my life.
I'll stick with the leathercraft from now on, and some lightweight spoon carving to feed my creative needs.
So, with that in mind, I am disposing of almost all of my greenwood tools in a number of posts over the next few days. I know many of our members are interested in green wood craft so I thought I would offer them here where I know they will be put to good use rather than flogging them on evilbay to goodness knows who.
Prices include paypal fees and postage will be extra. Paypal only please. PM please to reserve, pending payment.
(Anyone wishing to collect the items in person can omit the postage element)
______________________________________________________________
1) Traditional brace and a full set of chairmaker's bits. SOLD PENDING FUNDS
These have been collected by me over the years and some are very rare, hard to find bits. All are clean and have been kept sharp and ready to use.
Price: £70 + £10 P+P SOLD PENDING FUNDS
______________________________________________________________
2) Gransfors Bruks Viking pattern special edition axe SOLD
I bought this to use on demonstrations when I used to get dressed up as a viking. It didn't get a lot of use though, so I shortened the handle a bit and discovered it works better (for me at least) than the GB carving axe. It has a straight handle and a razor edge and is in brilliant condition. It comes complete with a home made axe cover and separate belt hanger. More info here.
Price: £95 + £7 P+P SOLD
______________________________________________________________
3) Gutter adze SOLD
This is a single handed gutter adze - excellent for shaping chair seats. It has a fixed handle, is ready to use and in excellent condition.
Price: £35 + £6 P+PSOLD
______________________________________________________________
4) Husqvarna 340 petrol chainsaw
This was my replacement chainsaw after my old one got nicked from the back of my van. It has only had around 5 hours of continual use.
It is in "almost new" condition and runs perfectly. It has a fairly new 15" bar and I am providing it with 3 chains, sharpening file (with guide plate), servicing spanners, two plastic felling wedges and a stump clamp (for sharpening the chain in the field). Info and specs about this model here .
Price: £250 + £20 P+P Price reduced to £200
______________________________________________________________
5) Husqvarna chainsaw safety trousers
BS kitemarked safety trousers. In excellent condition. No nicks or tears. They are 40" waist and are 33" inside leg, so they are ideal for a six footer with a beer belly. They cost £110 when new.
(I will throw in my safety helmet with these trousers as a freebie. It has a little damage and will need to be either fixed or new ear defenders fitted)
Price: £70 + £10 P+P
______________________________________________________________
6) Chainsaw safety wellies
BS kitemarked safety wellies. In excellent condition. No wear or damage and "almost new" These are size 13 (I am a size 12 and these are dead comfey with two pairs of socks). These were £50 when new.
Price: £35 + £10 P+P
______________________________________________________________
7) Chainsaw orange combi can
A combination fuel and chain oil can in tough orange polypropylene.
Price: £18 + £7 P+P
______________________________________________________________
That's it for the moment, but I will have loads more to dispose of in due course, including power tools.
PLEASE! If you have any questions, just ask below, or by PM.
Thanks for looking,
Eric
