Hello, I've just been bitten by the woodworking bug. I had a piece of Brush Box 900x300x38 made into chopping board for the kitchen. I love the look of the grain in good hardwood, I then embarked on a project of restoring some very old ladderback chairs. I found I neede some tools (and advice) and pretty soon I was hanging around garage sales and markets buying old tools. I am not a luddite but I like the idea of using hand tools rather than machines. I have picked up a fistful of old chisels, all badly in need of TLC. Some need rehandling, one a beautiful Japanese 1 inch bench (can't make out the name), the other is a Witherby 1 inch framing chisel also a socket. I'm trying to track down someone who'll turn me some handles for these beauties. I really love old tools and enjoy using them but I feel the urge to get hold of more chisels. Is this the first sign of the collecting bug?
:2tsup:Cheers
Murphy
