 :pok:  Oi!  ….....I'm only going to give it a gentle polish  :D
That's a little outside my skill set
But then again, that's never stopped me in the past  :D

Tony that hammer reminds me of the Aussie made BAK I sent Dennis  :ahhh :ahhh :D :D.




Not sure if this was the 3rd or 6th WD40 bath I gave it  :think: :ahhh :D :D

It came up kinda OK  :think: :think: :D :D , a lot of work for something that should of been given the last rights  :think: :think:.


Dennis likes tools with 'history' I think that Whittingslowe had just a little too much of a past  :think: :D :D

Now get in that cold room/shed & get chipping on that hammer  Tony  :pok: :pok: :D :D

I don't think its that bad Mat, its the handle that will take the time when I can decide what to do with it  :think:

First of the season for me too.  Managed two this morning. The second with family in tow as the boys like to ride on the model steam trains they have running around the edge of the field.

A few old bits of electronics and a few even older tools.  No SAKs or knives though.
I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.

Likewise Neil. There was a few sheffield slippies, but not really my thing. Picked up a new front wheel for my bike.

We're all trying to keep them on the road longer than we used to  :-\ 

Back on track.  I've got a cool little Rabone Chesterman flexible mini rule from today's outing.  I wish they still made them, they'd sell like hot cakes to the maxpedition pocket stuffing members :D

Chesterman? Is it like the little folding-section one you sent me awhile back?   <rummaging around looking for it now>
In order to be certain of having the right tool for every job.........one must first acquire a lot of tools

Same company but this is just a single piece.  Its all bendy and flexible and thin enough to use as a bookmark in a notebook.  Most importantly for me it has metric measurements which a lot of the old tools don't.

Not a SAK in sight this morning but I did get a nice woodworking vice that's missing its handle  :)
and some more woodworm to add to the collection  ;)




I finally got around to making a new handle for my Marples (6" wide) woodworking vice today  :tu:
