SOLD
A gift for all you woodcarvers! Ive collected this kit over a number of years, but now, due to a combination of tempus fugit and the delayed ravages of a misspent youth, and middle age, come to think of it, I can no longer do these tools the justice they deserve! (I know, shut up whinging, you ole bugger...)
Anyway, its all got to go, so, the whole kit comprises of:
30oz Wood is Good mallet (Info here) used only once. A relay good mallet to use, much quieter than the conventional carvers mallet and far less shock to the hand arm and other connected bits!
Drawknife with 5 (125mm) cutting edge.
Woodcock Sheffield 1943 straight chisel 39mm cutting edge.
Addis Sheffield 9mm skew chisel.
22mm gouge believed to be by Robert Sorby.
11mm gouge, also believed to be by Robert Sorby.
18mm gouge, exactly the same design at the previous two, marked Sorby.
15mm spoon gouge by Taylor, Sheffield.
7mm gouge by Pfiel, Switzerland, marked 7/6.
4mm veiner marked but indistinct, possibly Ward or Yard.
All the sharp bits are scary sharp courtesy of some smurf poo and a rotating mop!
If you were to buy this lot second hand on e-bay you would probably end up paying about £20.00 per piece, so Im guessing at a possible value of around £200.00. (This is me thinking out loud, by the way...) It weighs 2.5 kilos, so 1st class postage (UK only) is about £12.00, plus Paypal stuff...
So, how about £120.00 for the lot, delivered by 1st class post within the UK.
